I still can't get over all those tough GT-Rs...

Please someone tell me that you guys collectively get together and enter all those GT-Rs into Car Shows? Like 10 GT-Rs in 1 stand?

Nothing will get the Japs attention more than a 7 second GT-R or a car show stand with 10 big-power GT-Rs in Oz.

I only had a quick glance, but I didn't see any pics of GTR-700 in there. Rezz, those GT-Rs lined up are all Autostyle (a car dealer) car's... well customer cars. As Roy pointed out, they all had dyno charts stuck up on their windows with 400kw+ readings... but none of them raced?

Also there was a maroon ECR33 with a 3L/T88 combo (and a ton of stickers) - did anyone see it run? Had gold RB26 covers on the engine but was a RB25 head...

I have only ever seen Dominics yellow gtr run a 10.5 the rest havent run....

Although they Were at Flying 5th (Bathurst) But didn't do to good...Comparing to other Cars that raced...

They are well presented cars and Most of them Have over 400kw at the treads...But it would be good to see the autostyle cars having ago at putting some numbers down To prove there power figures...

But i must say they look CRAZY!!!!

DoughBoy, I have quite a few shots of GTR700 both preparing to race and with the bonnet up in my gallery.

Also that maroon 33 GTsT you refer to is owned by Da_Man who checks this forum ;) He ran a flat 12 but told me that he is concerned about going quicker as it would require a few additions to his car (to meed ANDRA safety requirements) that he cannot perform in time for future drag combat events (namely QLD this weekend)

As far as the autostlye cars are concerned I read in the Autospeed article posted earlier that Tim plans to hit the Wednesday night street meets soon

Guys Did anyone Take any photo's Of the ADVAN Yellow GTR????....

i took a pic of its motor but anyone got any other pics of it...

?

thanx

A couple I snapped...

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
