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! :)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
