Big Congrats to Steve and the BC Automotive team, about time we got the GTR back on the podium. Very impressed with the result, I have finally decided to read your thread and I'm a few pages in and I'm liking what I see :yes:. I wish I could have made it to WTAC this year to have a look, and tow my GTR down for the Flying 500 but been so soon after Jambo didn't have time to get my shit sorted. What did your car end up weighing in at? mine is 1280KG no driver running very similar set-up to your car except I got half the interior still in it but I got 1200+hp ups its arse :) . Anyways congrats again keep up the good work looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

cheers benny, would have been great to see your car compete at the flying 500. congrats on the 8.39 super quick time also. Cars weighing 1278 without driver or fuel, we will be back next year running a 2 car gtr team.....in 2 different classes, can wait.

You stepping up in class? Or will it be club and open?

Nice... 2 cars = twice the headaches :woot: , I am also have another R32 GTR chassis on the way to turn into a hopefully a very low 7sec GTR 3/4 chassis drag car retiring the current one. I have also discussed with my team in using the current 8 sec R32 chassis to compete in either next years or 2015 WTAC. I am hoping of débuting my R32 with my mates R35 GTR (ex Mercury Motorsport Time Attack R35) at the same time flying the same banner. It won't take much to convert the drag car to time attack. The transmission and driveline are compatible, most of the suspension is done just need new coil overs, Got a brand new RB26 head and RB30 Block and Crank for its new 800HP Quick Response Setup. Just need some big brakes and a lil bit of Aero setup and Rollcage needs a few extra bars. Can't wait to start this project and set some new challenges and goals.

Sounds like a fun and busy year ahead for you, it's always great to set goals and even better when you achieve them. The more gtr's running the better, looks like the skylines will finally out number the evo's at world time attack as I see a trend happening.

Cars heading to phillip island next month to see if Deano can brake our 1.33.5. Hopefully with better conditions this time and a new set of tyres perhaps, it might just get into the 1.31's I'm hoping. Still needs a new set of suspension but will do for now.

What day are you going down for? PIARC? What about SAU nationals in SA? your time to take the wheel, even on low boost you'll smash everyone there haha

9th and 10th at the island and deans driving and maybe I'll take the wheel, and I'll be honest I'm still a crap driver and won't smash anyone til I learn the car. It's been over 2 years since I've driven the car properly and never at this power level so happy to take my time. Need to put the spare seat in and get some driver training I reckon.

So wtac is done for this year but still getting the car out there to develop it further as we're not in a rush anymore which is nice. Boys took the car to Philip island for the national supersprint championship. First day had clutch issues with the clutch clip popping out, so they drove back to the workshop to sort it and head back again the same night. Day 2 great results and a personal best for the team... 1st in class with a 1.33.3, I believe 4th outright just behind the radicals, on advan A050 used tyres, and officially the fastest gtr at phillip island on record that we know of. Top speed on the straight was 302.2km/h. The tyres are the limiting factor here as they were falling apart after a lap. Set of slicks and we reckon it might break the 1.30 lap time. I guess the only way to find out is try it. Still haven't updated the suspension, would be great if we can get some sponsors, Hint hint if your a suspension workshop by the name of bilstein, mca, koni, supashock feel free to email me as I'm happy to test your gear on my car :)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
