Speedah Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 GTR arrived back from Willall yesterday morning. I didnt have 2 days to spare right now so I had it trucked back. Initial thoughts on the new power..... "scary fast"...the thing builds revs like a bike. Having all wheel drive, 100% grip and 622hp the at the wheels is insane. Anyway...I though I would try and sneak a run at WSID tonight even though I had been booted 12 months ago for running under 11.00 Went through with no issues. First run the launch didnt feel clean so I jumped on the brakes after half track for a 12.5 @ 60mph Second run launch felt better but was still off the pace (should be doing mid 1.6s) with a 1.78 60 foot but I stayed on it for a 10.62 @ 134.81mph...bye bye Charlie for me...again. Very happy with the MPH...means she is making good power, the crap 60 foot did my ET no favors. Bring on the Snowy Mountains 1000...and litre bike hunting :-) And thanks to Martin @ Willall for all of the work and the perfect tune in a very short time frame Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/4/#findComment-6583790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey Kev, nice progressive power, all the way to the top. 1000NM on tap all the way to 7000 rpm.Good job by Martin. Mid 130’s is a good trap speed, 106 at ½ track is very good. Drop 60’ by a few 10th’s will drop the time to low 10, but good 60” is hit and miss at wsid, unless well prepped. What rpm launch? I love the 335 rubber; Good move, as I think the stock 285 rubber would struggle. I'm only driving my car 1 day in every 7-10 days, but when i do I call it GTR therapy!

domino_z Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 great times Kev, i think theres another tenth or 2 in it though on the strip im heading to heathcote soon, and plan to use the vbox to monitor my run, if i get a good 0-100 ill stay on it, if not just roll through the traps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/4/#findComment-6584707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian I launched at 4000rpm Willalls 2012 R35 did a 10.30 with the same MPH as me....but he did a 1.59 60 What pisses me off is playing with the launch control on the street I see 0-100km/h in 2.9 sec on my vbox. On the 10.6 run I did 3.4 secs 0-100 I will post the in car video tomorrow Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335957-my-new-r35/page/4/#findComment-6585006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hey Kev, looks good for Time Attack street class next year. Now that it looks like some of our wrx's will not be allowed to race because of the wider fenders, your power level is a step from Marek's, and could be very competitive, although it is getting tougher. Time to break 1:40 at EC. Son David will volunteer to drive if you don't want to drive (lol). He's pestering me to upgrade my R35, so he can drive it!
