Martin HKS Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Wish I could see this, will there be any coverage of the event or where will I be able to procure said footage? World Time Attack will have DVD's for sale after the event but if you want more specific viewing I know GT Auto and Drew have plenty of cameras mounted on and in the R35. Wait until they are back and it will pop up. Until then you can see some pics here: http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=754055 Cheers Marty Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365695-race-r35-build/page/9/#findComment-5950958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Donnon Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 It was great working with the GT Garage Team across the course of Superlap. Also great to see our transmission components - clutches and hardware - stand up to the punishment of what is now Australias fastest GTR. Congrats on the results for your hard work Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365695-race-r35-build/page/9/#findComment-5953794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Thanks Martin for your help over the weekend. Was a pleasure to meet you. Your experience on these cars and quality gearbox products were extremely valuable to us. We were down in the dumps a bit after the fuel fire and it was great to have some extra support. Looking forward to developing this car much further.

druzilla32 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Well done to everybody from GT Auto Garage and anyone else involved in this build. Many ups and downs for the team at WTAC but we managed to get a great time from the car. Not only that, we know the car has much more potential! Thanks everybody for the hard work.

Beer Baron Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 well done guys. big effort and fantastic result. I was cringing when it caught fire right outside our pits and even more so when extinguisher after extinguisher was emptied on it. can't blame the fireies. it's not often they get to cut loose so when there's a fire they do tend to get a bit eager with the powder! the car looks fantastic and was a real credit to you all.

Marlin Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 re the HKS CT230, I'd be keen to know just how much of the "go-fast" goodies have been removed from it? I'm not sure if you guys would even be privvy to that info? I had a brief look over the car in Sydney, and didn't see much super special about it? I hear the car is for sale for $130k, and I guess I'm wondering if the fast parts come in a seperate box? Or was it simply one of those "freak" cars that is quick without trying to hard?

Martin HKS Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hello Ben. No there is no tricks to the HKS CT230R except great attention to detail. It's been left how it ran on the track. There has been intercooler and radiator differences between tracks but otherwise untouched. It's all in the details and keeping the weight down. You must understand that other cars have developed further since this car was on the track with the multitude of diffusers used these days. It would still be interesting to see what it would run against them even without further development in the last 5 years. HKS always sets the benchmark with projects which takes others years to catch (R33 GTR Drag / S15 Silvia Drift / CT230R EVO Time Attack). All these cars were built and dominated the sport then retired. You then see others trying to still beat the records years after HKS have switched their focus elsewhere. You are more then welcome to come to GT Auto's Open Day and have a good look over the car in detail and not under the pressure of World Time Attack. It can also be sold if the money is right but $130k doesn't come close sorry.
