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?

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
