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

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

Had great weekend at WTAC. Thank you for all the sponsors and people helping to achieve this result.

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? :P

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.

Cheers

Marty

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
