Mark has run the Godzilla Motorsport R32 at Jamboree at 7.60 @ 180mph making it the second quickest in the world.

Come a long way!

I remember a few years ago watching it do a mid 8 to set the aus record...was 8.67 or 8.4 something...was too long ago...and i was faily busy staging behind it

Awesome work Godzilla MS, seriously close now!!

zebra- Record is 7.56 @ 184mph, HT lowered it slightly a couple of months ago and sooner or later hopefully will pull everything together in one run :)

If it were that easy, one or the other of the two guys will have already done it.... I know HT have the power available (remember they've gone >190mph on occasions - including the famed 7.59 @ 191mph record breaking 500+m run they did in 2006) and I am sure Godzilla do too, its the whole using it effectively which seems diabolical with these cars and both teams are in a class of their own in terms of what they've achieved so far... and without changing things so much that so long as they're sticking to the remaining fundamental elements which make them a GTR at heart (ie, RB/IRS/AWD) I can't see any smashing going on so much as whittling down.

Oh I agree that 4wd big power drag cars are near impossible to drive straight.

Which the power they have they would be deep into the 6's in a live axle rwd tube chassis.

So running mid 7's with basically a factory suspension setup is hugely impressive.

Still though, one perfect run would drop a tenth or two..which at these times is "smashed" in my book

Ah yep, fair call - in that case, it seems both cars have it in them at this stage to nudge that 7.56... its unbelieveable that the 7.6 mark has been broken by two cars, given how long it took to beat HKS' old time. We must be almost due to hit the 7.4, I had really hoped HT would do it at Jamboree given they've shown everything (first half track time, and trap speed) required to do so - now it all needs to happen in one run.

Good to see Godzilla finally basically shoulder to shoulder now, this should make things more interesting :)

thanks for the comments guys...

big thanks to everone over the years who have helped me at the track at hundreds of test n tunes...

it was a great pass to 1/2 track 4.92 at 147.8mph and fell over prob because of the big headwing of prob 6 to 10 mph

we usually put on 36 to 38 mph from 1/2 track ...

at the boost levels we run with no intercooler it is very difficult to keep it 100% from 1/2 track on ....

beating the old hks r33 gtr time of 7.67 was a great feeling !!!!also we are the fastest black 2.6 gtr in the world . ha ha :)

here is the video

we were going to leave the car alone for a while and finish the new r35 gtr pro rwd race car but being so close to reece its hard ;)

cheers , mark

I would love to see a side by side mide 7 by these cars

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

When is the next outing? I feel this is the season for one of you fellas to nudge the 7.4s - when the Pro cars both you (Godzilla lads) and Heat Treatments emerge I have a sinking feeling they will start getting a lot more interesting and the GTRs might start gathering cobwebs :(

On that note, how soon before the R35 emerges? And will it be doing some time with RB power?

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
