Yellow GTRs are soft :P

I reckon its great to see them out there giving it some, Wakefield is a tricky track to get a quick time, it is certainly not all about power there...I take it the quick cars were running slicks?

just to clarify MR WRX has had over 100 runs at WSID and is driven everyday

the reason the gearbox failed was due to a dodgy billet rear input shaft

which wasnt made to the exact clearances that were needed

 

its a real 10 second street car and driving it along you would not pick

it its one of the most comfortable, smooth cars ive been in

and the way brian punishes it all day everyday i am shocked that it lasted this long

 

diablo is also very smooth and easily street driven he regularly drives it from canberra to sydney and has no problems with it

the reason it failed was because TRP made the mistake of using a copper head gasket when they were told not to

I happily stand corrected:D Bit of a bummer that they both failed, but using a copper headgasket on tough car does seem a bit odd. Look forward to seeing the results in AutoSalon Mag:D

to clear things up

the FTR ran 2 10.9 second passses on street tyres and low boost as it was running a standard geabox

it also ran the fastest lap tim of 1:08

it also did 540rwkW on pump fuel with a shot of NOS

its a VERY relaible car that had NO problems on the weeknbd

also OSMANS didnt win the braking- the blue S14 did without ABS and standard brakes with bendix pads....it beat the STi by 4metres

the GTR was also the only car to have full engineering certificates for the car. it did well i every category except fuel efficiency but what do you expect from the curent autosalon power recoird holder?

and before you ask yes i was there as i was competing

hence them both leaving and going to a different workshop

TRP is closing soon anyway

WTF?!?!?!?!?

also OSMANS didnt win the braking- the blue S14 did without ABS and standard brakes with bendix pads....it beat the STi by 4metres

Congratulations :(

Adrian

the GTR did run but i cant remember the time

MR WRX has done a 1:04 last time he was there not this time and yes it was the full track

LOL...i have to ask/:(

Who was their to witness/time this 1:04. Considering that quicker then any road car i know of and quicker then GTP WRXs with fully sorted suspension, professional driver, and good response/traction... i have to say someone is talking it up massively, a bit liek me when i say i can do 1:10s around Wakefield:)

As Duncan says, Wakefield is not a power circuit, and a 10sec WRX suggests the thing would be rolling between many of the corners looking for boost?!?!?!?! I have no problem believing it could maybe do a 1:08 or higher, but yeh...ill wait until i read the article...the more i think about it i think the timers may have been helping out a few of the cars with a second here and there:)

Do they run slicks?

to clear things up

 

 the FTR ran 2 10.9 second passses on street tyres and low boost as it was running a standard geabox

 

 it also ran the fastest lap tim of 1:08

 

 it also did 540rwkW on pump fuel with a shot of NOS

 

 its a VERY relaible car that had NO problems on the weeknbd

 

also OSMANS didnt win the braking- the blue S14 did without ABS and standard brakes with bendix pads....it beat the STi by 4metres

 

the GTR was also the only car to have full engineering certificates for the car. it did well i every category except fuel efficiency but what do you expect from the curent autosalon power recoird holder?

 

 and before you ask yes i was there as i was competing

charles told me osmans won it.

as for the GTR funny thing was they kept changing the car before every test

it was loud as all *** when it was on the track and you could smell the C16 but when it was in front of the engineer funny how it only hit 88db.

brians car has mountains of torque because its a 2.5 and isnt a laggy bitch either due to the turbo not being massive like his other car (NOCOMP)

its a every well sorted car and he is a great driver and knows the circuit very well.

the 1:04 was not at the SCOTY day which i said in my earlier post.

the only S15 there was jerrys one

there were to S14s though

please dont tell me it was MR dori dori in the blue one

because he locked up and ended up almost doing a 180 cause he tried the hand brake

the only cars that needed a warm up were the autostyle cars LMAO

street cars that need to warm up thier tyres and brakes before going out LOL

****ing pathetic

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
