Duncan in his r35 is in the 1.01's and so is Marek.

Stuart in his R33 has done a 1.03 AFAIK

Unsure if Mark Berry has taken the 34 down there yet, but the old 32 did 1.02 or 1.03 a while back.

Yeah Berry did a 62 in the 32 eons ago... and he hasn't had the 34 there. Even the 32 would be quite a lot faster not with the S6 and other improvements

J Appo and I both did low 60's in his weapon 33 GTS-t there in, ohh, 2002, but buggered if I still have the day's timesheets for that one. lol

Such a shame really that our ROYal highness hasn't been allowed to keep it up to date ;)

If those electric pink dildos with ass finding radar and SCADA control R35s can do 61 sec laps then there is no problem matching those times at Wakefield in the GTSt. Dont need shortcuts, just need a cute girl in short shorts and boob tube running up the length of the pit wall with my timign beacon shortening the track for me. Everyone will be so distracted by her athletic display along the pit wall that nobody will care she will be shortening the track by 300mtrs ;)

Mate, in my car I have never been near a 1:10 let alone a 1:01. :P Thats is seriously moving. Even with the circuit changes that seem to have dropped times a little, anything under a 1:04 is moving in my eyes! Wakefield is a good little test track, but does favour gadgetry more then some other flowing tracks.

The R35 (road cars, driven to and from thew track) are doing 1:00's and 1:01's now

But that is on slicks (swapped out at the track).

Anyone doing sub 60's on anything less than R's - would love to see / know how.

Have you any more info on this 33 GTS-t???? very interested to see it.

Pretty much the days prior to me having a digital camera, OR being computer savvy! lol

Basically, very stripped 33 GTS-t. Built RB26, twin Apexi low mounts, GTR gaurds. 18x10's, Slicks, big AP's, etc. Made about 400RWKW then had (yes I know I know) another 100 in giggle gas.

I'd like to know where that car is now!

I do have a vid of a 1:00.8 run - but you'll just tell me it all looks too easy :D

I would ... but truth is if it looks easy then the thing is being driven well. Its only when you are slapping the thing all over the road and it looks hard and but is actually probably slower .. but looks cool and impresses the kids :(

Here you go Roy

FYI i turned off the GPS assisted steering for that run.

Very nice, thanks.

I thought the GPS was for the fish finder? That is mega. When driving an R35 that quick, i appreciate to do that time the thing is quick everywhere. But does th edriving style differ much...it looks like you can carry a good wack of speed to the apex and with the grunt and response the thing has get on it after the thing is sorted in the corner and it lunges out of corners. It appears as though your entry speed is high....???? So, so scary quick for a road car

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
