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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
