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 :cheers:

Car looks great Kev and its good to see you are having some fun with it! Any other plans for it or happy with how it is for a while?

Cale

Thanks Mate...that will be it for a while. I have a few things on my plate right now that consume money even faster than an R35.

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!

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

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

Yes, if your 0-100 is above 3.1 get off it after half track.

See you at Cooma

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!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
