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!

  • 3 weeks later...

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.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
