Sterling effort on the lap times guys extremely impressive times. In defence of the 21 year old R32 I would suggest that the R32 would pick up a couple of seconds a lap if run on a set of modern slicks as tyre technoligy has come a long way in the last 21 years.

That is true dazmo, but the flip side to this is that we have never got to race on a properly 'rubbered in' track as the Group A cars did. With few cars actually putting rubber on the track Mallala has become slower over the past few years (IMO). When we were able to run rounds of the Improved Production championship at the big meets (2 litre Super Tourers etc) the lap times always improved due to the grip level of the track lifting :D

Willall Racing just ran a 1 min 12.19 at Mallala today in their JDM R35 GTR.

Faster than the group A R32 GTR!

Congratulations Keir & Martin. You guys are flying now.

E85 looks like the way to go, when are you going to fit the bigger turbos?

Wish I was there................. oh well. I will keep working.

Nice going! See, what I don't understand (well, I do but for the sake of discussion) is with a few mods for those who can afford it, you'd get a lot of change from $400K with a GTR and still go quicker than this in a bit more comfort ...

2012 Lexus LFA vs 2010 Nissan GT-R

Not much in it if you ask me ... and not too shabby for a stock item.

Someone willl one day develop full LCD retrofits and heads up (even into ratty old R34's) ... for those that want it all.

This video would look a whole lot different with some carbon, aeros, turbos, drivetrain ... and still have change for Super GT season tickets.

Shuddup ... a bloke can dream can't he?

that lfa is rwd which is a major problem when running big hp & the price tag is 750k!

u could buy an r35 in every colour for that price hehe

That and a few other physical changes around the track made the track slower as well.

Hopefully I can get my track R32 ready soon, so we can have a fair comparison between a properly modded, well maintained track R32GTR with the R35. I wish I can get the suspension setup or a copy version of the Gibson's cars though.

I am however may not be up to the task of driving since I have not driven on the track for close to a year :rolleyes:

May have to get Keir to drive both for a fair comparison and see which is faster ^_^

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately I've relocated back to South Australia for work.

August is only 2 months away, but I hope to have the new r32 tuned by then.

I saw your other post with the R35. That is a nice achievement. I can't wait to see how fast it will be when you complete the project.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
