I had a great night at wsid last night even though I only got 3 runs in before being told to get a super street license. I was driving the Midnight Purple R32 GTR with ZILLA plates.

My times were:

12.036 @ 114.05 mph, 1.858 (60')

11.981 @ 115.81 mph, 1.858

11.946 @ 113.34 mph, 1.822

I achieved these times using average quality and condition street tyres and running the car in full street trim including same boost I use on the street (19psi).

Some mods include:

R34 N1 Turbos

PFC

Twin plate clutch

Happy to now own a TRUE 11 second street car !! :D:(

Hi BU5TER, yeah i live not far from steves shop and i was getting some work done on my old pintara when i noticed your car there. Your motor looks very impressive, cant wait to see it run. Had a good chat to Steve about it.

un_majstk, I cant realy tell u what it cost as most of performance gear was already on the car when I bought it. I have spent most of my time and effort painting it.

I was there but can't remember a midnight purple gtr... did you run up against a gunmetal grey r32 gtr (which I think blew an IC pipe on 1 run) ?

Yes quite a few r32's there on wed nite including 1 that was for sale:

1992 R32 GTR

'HKSGTR' nsw plates

~160,000km (not aware of any rebuilds and had the car for 2yrs)

Gunmetal Grey (2wk old respray)

PWR Radiator

Splitfire Coils

Std FMIC (with HKS written all over it)

PowerFC + H/C

A few gauges

~360rwkw

~$30k

Aftermarket rims

Redline engine/gearbox/diff oils

Very neat inside and out

0402772703 if anybody wants to call him

It was his first time there with the gtr, his best from memory was 12.0 and was doing pretty consistent 12.4's @ 110mph with very average launches (1.8-1.9 but bogging down).

The VL had a set of brand new tyres and the driver wasn't going to stop until either the engine or the tyres blew. The Nissan engine did well. :rofl: Definitely the longest burnout I have ever seen. It was done in memory of his younger brother who passed away at 16 last month.

If you didnt see me that may be because I was finished all 3 of my runs by about 7.15, so we then parked the car and sat and watched. Didnt want to buy the super street license as I achieved my aim for the night and iam a bit short on cash atm.

ECR033, yeah mph was a bit down on last run. I think this may be because I hit the limiter in first. I gave it a few more revs on that launch and it surprised me how quick 2nd gear was needed.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
