Ok guys great day and everyone's excited about the results today. We have smashed our previous record of 1.36.7. First session out dean pulled a 1.33.5 at a top speed of 298.3kmph, unfortunately paul and I rocked up late to record that lap and only have it on the go pro which didn't show the dash, second session out we did record a 1.34.2 and a top speed of 300.7kmph, will post this vid in a day or 2 when paul has worked his magic. The Audi r8 Gt cars were also out testing and there best laps were 1.35 as they too were battling hi winds today, their normal lap times are 1.30ish............so were freakin excited.

Good luck for testing! The thing looks and sounds like an animal in the clip from yesterday, love it - should be intense with the power wound up to 11!

The NZ non-GTR owners also coming over don't count? :(

Lol! Sorry Mr Lith......I should have said Skyline owners! :)

Yesterday's test sessions, there is a good 1-2 seconds left with more time and better conditions. I really want it to break the 1.30 at phillip island but not sure if it can be done without a flat floor. We also had an additional 50rwkw we didn't use, like to play it safe for now. Thinks we might have to use all of it at world time attack. To get under 1.30 at smp... that would be cool but I think 1.31-1.32 would be on it without more test sessions.

Love it! What box is it? You've probably listed it before but love that it's still H pattern! I can't imagine a 300kph brake into turn 1. 250 is fast enough!

Hey Russ, using the ppg dogbox with a Motorsport strain gauge. We couldn't believe it hit 300 and took a couple days to sink in what we have now built. All braking distances have now changed and need more test time to work it out. Car will now have a full maintenance program written out so parts can be replaced to keep it in good running order.

Thanks to all for your support and kind words over the last few months, feel free to come and say hi at wtac. Garage 15A.

Can a skyline finally take back the evo dominance at wtac? We're gonna try our best, and if that's not enough we will turn the boost right up.

Looking forward to turning the boost right up, that will be MAD!!!!

That's good to hear. It's something very often overlooked and these cars are so far above their designed intention of a road car it's so important to check things on a routine/usage schedule.

Good luck this weekend! Hope the 32s can muscle into the tops of the timeslips

Cheers buddy, what a amazing vibe and bunch of peeps that I finally had a chance to meet, some top quality cars too. Had a laugh. Practise day today had little issues such as a fualty oxy sensor and a stuffed coil, had about 10 laps so by the last lap these issues were finally diagnosed and will be fixed in the morning before first session. Deans first time with the car at this track and had to work out the best lines etc, pulled off a 1.34.8 but not a true indication as yet as he hasn't had a full on go, traffic and issues held him up. Although what is apparent is our tein suspension is not good at all at this track, phillip island is flat and it's fine but here it's evident that it's not good enough. Might have to look into mca gear. Can't wait for tomorrow to hopefully lay down some good times. Will keep ya posted guys, cheers.

Another massive day, loving time attack but wish there was more drive time but you get that with so many cars. First session out today and a lap time couldn't be set as a car in front had leaked oil in the track. Second session out dean pulled out a 1.33.0 to take the lead from the evo 10 go pro by 1 second. Top speed on the straight hit 290km/h on the 3rd session out but gearbox issue struck and ended that hot lap. Gearbox is being sorted so we can be back in the morning for an all out attempt. There's about 2 seconds in it as current set up. Have learnt a lot from this event on what's needed to be done to break the 1.30 if attending this track again...first thing is ditch the teins. Big thanks to all that have come past to say hi. Keep ya posted tomorrow.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
