AMS Smash The 9 Second Barrier at TX2K10

March 21st, 2010 Goto comments Leave a comment

After beating out all the other competitors in the dyno competition, AMS have driven this SR850 tuned R35 GT-R to a worlds first 9 second ET at Lonestar Motorsports Park on their first run of the day!

They went on to run a string of 9 second passes with the best ET being 9.89 @ 145 even after hitting the rev limiter in second. The best mph of the day was 146.96 mph which you can see in the timeslip in the gallery below.

To get there, the car runs an AMS SR850 upgrade package which includes:

AMS upgraded bolt on turbo’s

Upgraded actuators

AMS 90mm downpipes

AMS 90mm Resonated midpipe

AMS 90mm exhaust

AMS Front mount intercooler

AMS 3″ intercooler piping

HKS bov’s

AMS Large MAF intake pipes

AMS fuel System upgrade

Cobb AccessPORT

AMS Custom Race gas map (unleaded 109 octane Race gas)

With these mods the car is putting 765awhp and 738 lbft of torque to the ground. Impressive stuff and big big numbers from bolt on upgraded turbos. What will we see when AMS’s custom cast manifolds and even bigger turbos get bolted up to Chuck’s car?

They didn't do anything to the gearbox?

We worked with AMS in the US on this one and supplied them -

WR35TMVS our new high load 'Super GTR' transmission fluid

WR35PS GR6 Piston Seals

WR35CC GR6 Gear Fastener System

WR35CC-L GR6 Clutch Retaining Clips

This is not an advertisement, just pointing out there was some Aussie know how in that 9 second pass :ermm:

Please don't shoot me but isn't 9.89 sec actually 10sec in anybody's language other than a drag racer's? :)

I am fascinated how everybody calls an 11.99 sec pass an 11 sec achievement! No, it is not. That minor detail of 0.99 sec is 55m difference or 12 car lengths at 400m mark.

It does sound a lot better in the pub, I do admit.

It's an ET bracket. Ie 9.00-9.99, 10.00-10.99, 11.00-11.99.

when someone refers to "running 9's" they are refferring to breaking the 10.00 bracket....Circuit racers even do it :cool:

I would call it "running sub-10's" but it is a matter of convention, I guess. Thanks.

I was given one of these official RH9GTR stickers by Danny (of JMS fame) back in

2002 when I raced at the first Drag Combat meeting at Willowbank when the HKS

drag GTR was there running 7s. It was a huge honour to even have one of these

japanese stickers back then & there was no way I was going to stick it on my GTR

till I had the time to back it up. I ran a 10.9 second pass that day & waited till a few

months later back in Adelaide before I proudly displayed it on my windscreen after

running my first of many nines. (best I got back in those days - now over 7 years

ago - was a 9.45 @ 145mph)

All these years later, the fact that an R35 GTR can run nearly as fast with "light tuning"

is just astromonical. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to run those times back

then & there was no way our GTRs were street legal. Street drivable - sure, no problems.

My car was still "on the street" with Holinger, perspex windows, full cage, & 1 seat!!!

Awesome to hear that an R35 has cracked the sacred nines......... but dont be fooled.

There will be blood, sweat, & tears to keep it there. All those who see the number "9"

& take it with a pinch of salt - think again. The difference between 10.1 & 9.8 is huge.

There will be broken engines, clutches, etc etc. Mark my words....................

been there..done that.. Good luck trying to keep up with them.

A whole new generation of cheque book racers has emerged.

I will stick with my detuned 9 second R33 now turned into mid teens circuit racer

& leave my R35 as it is for fun & value factor.

Congratulations to AMS for doing it, keep up the good work.

Be interesting to see if someone will follow in their footsteps here in Australia.

Maybe the Willall R35 if we ever get a bloody Drag track again in SA?

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
