R32 Gtr, The Final Build

[fatz]

Hats off for keeping it together

Having smashed gtr at tracks for many years your shows that occasionally you find a farken rippa that loves it

Could you give me your input on this 6262 compares to a -5 or -9 setup ? TBH, those numbers do look great on sheet, curious on the street whats your take compared to the ',std benchmark''.

thanks!

Probably similar to -5's on the street, it comes on very hard from 4000rpm

Audio should be fixed on this video...

Another video from drivers view, this time on long track. Also running Achilles 123S which are not even an r-comp with a "220" treadwear rating but still manage around 2 sec off my best on it's first flying lap.

Also managed to crack my front rotor fairly hard.

Turned up the wick on the old girl and went a little crazy for a street drag tune

So last time it ran that power on the first run it lifted the head and stretched the standard head studs, we turned it back down and I installed ARP2000 head studs the next day but have never run it at that power.

Went back for a quick check on the dyno on Saturday before Racewars this year and it made pretty much the same power with no problems lifting the head again. Was missing very slightly so I need to chuck in a new set of plugs and drop the gaps down a little but apart from that was very happy to see it making basically the same power. Was tempted to push for a little more but I think this is more than adequate for a stock bottom end and stock gearbox

Racewars again on the weekend, went a little quicker and faster than last year on the 0-1000m run

What do you think of the achilles 123s tyres?

[SimonR32]

What do you think of the achilles 123s tyres?

They are good, less than 2 sec slower than my AD050's on a 60 odd second lap.

They do seem to shag out a fair bit but I do punish them, think they have had 3 or 4 tracks days so far so I'll probably get another 3 out of them

that's awesome value for money, can get the 265/35/18's for under $200 a pop

That's the size I use, they are awesome value

Another video from Racewars, 800m roll on vs R35 GTR but I managed to snap the input shaft

[SimonR32]

New brakes on the way soon

Alcon Monobloc 6 calipers with 365x32mm rotors with a set of Project Mu Club Racer pads

[White GTS-T]

Did you just end up putting in another standard gearbox?

[SimonR32]

Yes another stock box. I'm getting a bit of a reputation as a horder of them. I currently have 5 in my garage haha

[Joshbigt62r]

Love the brakes. What did they set you back if you dont mind me asking? Can pm if like?

[SimonR32]

and munched another front diff at Powercruise on the weekend

Got a full Friday in before it died so here is a video of some of the runs
