I am building a Silvia s14a, so hopfully will have a lap time up soon.

Was great fun throwing a GTR around although my 'stocky' doesn't handle as well as a well sorted example. The well sorted Evo's and Rex's did well as expected but the difference was 2s between me and 1st place (sorted Evo 8 I think) so not huge.

See in car vids of my runs here:

Ahhh, whats a baseline time? I didn't have the stereo pumpin if that's what you mean? I'm putting the better time down to my running a massive hangover and 3 hours sleep, witness the Dutton Sandown effort for prior evidence of that :D, although, even though I was very "relaxed" in the car, I failed to stay absolutely flat out under Dunlop bridge :[

There's been no change to the car save for a tune which has made it a little more linear in it's power delivery, same old bald and blued Dunlop 02G's, no alignment or setup changes yet.

I can't wait to throw your green bits in it, but figured there wasn't much point rushing and changing it until I can directly compare it on the same track, which means either visiting Morgan Park for a weekend or waiting until Lakeside opens again.

Giant and I will give it a good alignment and corner wieght as soon as we both have time, and will likely setup your green hornets for installation at the same time. :(

SM Motorsport GTR

Driver: Sam Markov

Date: 24.10.2008

Winton lap time: 1.28.30 (max speed 215kph)

More to come as still unhappy with suspension and down about 30 rwkw

WOW, that's an awesome effort, that's flyyying...

What tyres were used?

That max speed is about 15km/hr up on what I can run there. Be good to know where that extra speed comes from - whether its corner exit speed, grunt, weight or a mixture of all of them.

I think its pretty safe to say its a mixture of them all, even though he was down 30rwkw at the time. If you really want to know, give him a call. I think it is also pretty safe to say that there is still quite a bit in it.....possibly another couple of seconds. Now I know some people may laugh at that, but they qoviosly dont know Sam. He was actually quite dissapointed with the car on the day.

So are you gonna tell us what tyres he used or is that a secret?

No secret............will be sure to post it up when i find out, other matters were more pressing at the time of conversation .

Regardless, all tyres he currently uses are capable of those times within a second or so of each other. There are quite a few more factors to take into account with this car that are a bigger contribution to those times.

I just came back from Winton today. After looking at the times you guys are posting for the long track I am going home with my tail between my legs. :yucky:

Gotta get me some slicks for my road car :P, and finish the track car ASAP

New PB for me at Sandown today - 1.21.2

Was a the Holden Sporting Car Club / Ford Four Car Club Sprints

Alot of varying speeds in my group would be a large understatement.

A bit of battle scarring too. Another GT-R there caught fire unfortunately, no one injured more importantly.

Some footage

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
