Would be interested to see if it is as quick as Matts GTR

Im going to go out on a limb here and say yes just taking into account the running gear in the thing and after talk to Dave and Max the other week about it again :(

Whats happened to the wild Green GTR?

Thats what were trying to find out Stu, i sent Nathan a message but he never got back to me???

I want to see it on the road (THE BEAST IT IS) :lol:

at the moment it looks like it will be a 3 Litre runnin around 25psi. would i beable to get a copy of that video of u???

with the car set up right it shouldnt have a problem gettin the power down i know of a few cars with this sort of power that get it down well.

Yeah mate i find it a do a copy for you. What have you done with your old motor?

well from what i hear the reason the car is not on the road as all the paper work was not recieved and slowing the compliance process.

Will get back to as soon as i get some more info on the BEAST :rolleyes:

Sorry guys I was having trouble with my account and couldn't login. My dads car had trouble getting complianced - but it's now got the road worthy and I think it's been rego'd and ready for the road/tracks!

Geez guys - amazing to see how such speculation gets around. To clarify a few things for you;

* I assume you are talking about the Jade Green R32 GTR ( Yanack), not the Pearl Green R32 GTR, as I have provided both of these down in Hobart.

* Yes, your specs on the Yanack are correct ( someone probably pulled them off my internet ad) but to resolve the HP issue note that this was dynoed in Brissie, and recorded 454 rwHP. That's not Kw and it's not all wheels, as car was running a 2 WD set up at the time. Since then, Gino's grabbed the necessary transfer and diff pieces from me and it's running 4WD ( courtesy of Griffiths Autos hard work on the project). Still, I believe this car is capable of much more if given a turbo upgrade. Just makes it a little less driveable ( it's already something of an experience - T88, T51, etc just make it even more problematic driving round those busy Hobart streets).

* The delay in registering was more due to my stuffing around than a lack of paperwork, but I'm sure Gino will tell you that I'm not the quickest with these things sometimes.

* Did someone say Max's R31 was owned by a tuning shop? I don't think so, it was owned by a 1/4 mile freak in Japan. I know this because I got this one over as well, but when I supplied to Griffo the clutch was stuffed and car needed a serious performance tune ( not helped by the HKS F-Con V's.....). I hear he's getting some serious numbers out of this now. Unless you mean Yanack was owned by a tuning shop ( which is pretty obvious)

* Pearl green R32 GTR will also be back out on the road soon. Forgies, new turbos, freshened engine - asking price $26K with full rego, R33 GTR rims, etc - email [email protected] if interested.

* Keep an eye out for the white GTST that I've just sold. For a GTST it puts out phenomenal HP ( was dynoed at 565BHP - 317rwKw) in melbourne recently, and will make for a v. quick Skyline.

Can someone tell me - I was told that the quickest GTR in Tassie is running in the 11's ( not 10's) as in a proven, carded time. Is this right?

Yes the fastest time down here is Matt Rickards R32 GTR, 11.06 @128mph that was in full steet trim, pump fuel street tyres ect. Matt is changing it to a Big single in the hunt for mid 10's and still be streeterbale and not a laggey monster, Ben at Race Pace in Melbourne is Building it.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
