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 ^_^

will be good to catch up at the track Dan. will you be getting along to the Ruzic day in August? will the car be ready!?

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.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
