Hi guys,

As many of you are already aware, we have been developing one of our R35 GTR's in Japan to compete in the street class of the Japanese Time Attack series.

This car has been a mammoth project, engineered and built with ATTKD in Japan, sporting a VR38 stroked to 4.1 Litres, with the HKS GT-800 Twin Turbo Kit and uprated driveline, and yesterday in practice it managed a 58.6 at the Rev Speed Tsukuba Lap Battle, setting a new record for the street radial class.

More details to come later, but we thought you would enjoy some updated pics of the car in its current form

that is very quick, congrats Steve. I am also interested in knowing what tyres that was on

Hi Mark,

We ran it on some brand new Hancook tyres we were testing out.

I just corrected the time I originally posted, the actual lap time was 59.3 which as I said we are delighted with! :)

Correct me if I am wrong but that is very little improvement for such huge changes to the car. I gather that the suspension is not yet setup? <BR><BR>Also, I am curious as to why increase the displacement when getting HP out of these things is hardly difficult at std displacement.

Fair question Adam.

The car is still under development and has only recently been finished so this was an early testing session, we have a long road ahead with suspension tuning, more tyre testing and a lot more.

HP wise the car is also not running at full power as yet, long way to go before that happens

We elected to build the car tough from the get go to ensure it was capable of making big power reliably - We are using the HKS GT-800 Turbo kit and opted to strap it to a built engine rather than stock.

There will be more to come, we certainly havent seen the cars full potential as yet

Watch this space!

that's because the stock GTR is so good out of the box

but also because tsukuba is a tight circuit - and imo the R35 has outgrown it

the JDM tuners like Amuse, Mines, MCR are in the 58-9s with their square tyre setups, exhaust + ecu mods, huge aero parts hanging off the front and rear

im sure you'd see a bigger margin by % on a power circuit like fuji with a big hp built motor (just as HKS have done with benchmarking their continual development car/s)

Hit the nail on the head!

Small tight circuit and early days yet :)

LOL, I retract my statement.

Yesterday your post stated it's done a 53.9. Hence I said THAT IS QUICK.

Today your post has been altered and says 59.3. Now I have to ask, What is the hold up? :P

French pastries made it fat! :)

Small update for you all, it turns out the time I originally received was incorrect and I have confirmed from ATTKD who were driving the car at Tsukuba that the car actually did a 58.6, narrowly knocking their own white R34 GTR off the top with the new record for the street radial class at this circuit.

We looking forward to bring you guys more updates soon.

Cheers,

Steve

A bit of a random question but do the japanese take offence to the word 'Jap' written on the side of the 35? I know that some consider it an offensive slur.

Hi Ryan,

No they don't, and we have been doing business in Japan for a very long time :)

That's more like it! Well done! :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
