Most Powerful GT-R in the World Gets More Power

P1020650_002

The Heat Treatments R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R went back onto the dyno just a few days ago, and found even more power.  The last dyno numbers that were shown on the Heat Treatments site showed 1667 hp. Now with a bigger exhaust, and other modifications the car put down an additional  115 hp to the wheels, or it should be around 1782 hp.

They will be trying the new setup, with the increased power at the Jamboree in Queensland Australia on 21-22 August 2010.

8 Second R32 GT-R From the UK

This R32 is pretty impressive for what modifications it has. It turned a number of 8 second passes. On slicks, and good fuel. The engine is a 2.6 with a standard R33 crankshaft, JUN rods, HKS pistons, Tomei oil pump , HKS 272 cams , HKS T51 Kai turbo , Veilside plenum. Its running an OS 88 sequential transmission, and a little squirt of nitrous to get it hustling.

Titan Motorsports 2JZ Powered Scion Runs 3.996 @182mph on 10.5 Tires

Titan

3.996 seconds.  0-60 mph and 3.996 is pretty fast.  0-182 mph in 3.996 is just moving.  Titan Motorsports has been running their 2JZ powered Scion in ADRL 10.5 1/8th mile drag racing. This makes the Titan car, the first import car, packing only 186 cubic inches, and one of the first 5 cars to break into the 3’s on 10.5 tires.

Titan Motorsports becomes the first import in the 3s at the ADRL Georgia Drags. This feat was accomplished on a 10.5 tire using a 2JZ 6cylinder Turbocharged Toyota Engine (factory head and block castings). Titan Motorsports is home to the quickest and fastest imports in the world, and this astonishing feat only adds to the legacy.

Heat Treatments R32 GT-R : Fastest Skyline GT-R 7.57 @ 190 mph

I thought that I had posted this video up before, but I did some searches on my site, and couldnt find it.   Here’s the New Zealand built , HKS beating R32 GT-R, running 7.57 @ 190 mph

And a 7.59 @190 mph pass.
The car is spinning the front wheels fairly hardcore on the 1-2 shift. You can watch it wiggle around.  If you can see it wiggle from outside the car, inside the car, its scary.

Video : 9.62@148 mph SP Engineering GT-R

SP Engineering smashed the Nissan GT-R 1/4 mile record with a 9.62 @ 148 mph pass.  In this video Alex pilots the SP Engineering R35, and Hing pilots his R35 GT-R down the quarter mile.

Each car is modified with Greddy turbo kits, and a list of other parts to support 9 second quarter mile times. The breakthrough for the 9 second passes has been the work by several talented individuals working on decoding the stock TCM.

I Bought Something Today : RB25DET

Not just any RB25DET.  An RB25DET, Automatic, and all wheel drive.

RB25 Auto AWD-3

Its been up on eBay for a while. The price had been steadily dropping from $1299 down to $1099 recently. A while ago I offered the guy $1000 for it.

RB25 Auto AWD

I tried him at $900, but he came back at $1000 shipped. Its a decent enough price for something that I don’t really “need”, so I bought it.

Now the question is going to be, what am I going to do with it ?  I am not even sure which automatic transmission it has. If its something I can even do anything with.  The transfercase looks familar. 

The RB25 oilpan rail bolts are at a little different location than the RB26, so I will have a look at that. I have made some fun of the non- RB26’s in the past, but I actually like the ones I have had a chance to play with. The response due to the variable intake timing, makes them come up quick.

I have some ideas, have some plans.  Just need to find time and money as usual.  Maybe I can find someone to help me out with some parts ?

8 Second Street Trim GT-R From Australia

post-a266147-dyno-006
Down in Australia, this R32 has been turning some 9 second, and now 8 second passes at the dragstrip. It does it a little differently, with a Nissan RE403A automatic transmission.  The fast way down the track for drag racing, in this time range is an auto transmission.  They have losses, but they load the car, and keep it in boost between shifts. The costs compared to the air shifted or sequential transmissions is much lower.
post-a266146-gtr-003 Motive Video - in car from the test day


Testing the transbrake.


The car weighs in at 1601kg with driver or (3529 lbs). The car runs a set of 3037 turbos, and a Motec M800 ECU. The claimed power output is 650 KW(871 horsepower) at the wheels. Looking at the engine, and checking out the relationship of the idler pulley to tensioner pulley, it looks like the engine is an RB30.   They are supposedly going to put up some better videos soon. This video is from a phone. Check out the timeslips below.

The Farm Truck

Have to love sleepers. Street racers. This truck, looks like any 15 second truck out there. Under the hood, and under the bed hides a little more than you expect . From the side, you can't really tell how much tire is on the truck. The herky jerky suspension hides the fact that it weight transfers well enough to pull the left front wheel off the ground. The back opening is all part of the act.

204 mph in a Street Car

204 mph isn't really that fast. A stock 911 GT2 will do 205 mph,  not in a quarter mile though. Street car. Streetable car. What might be a "street car" to some, would be a race car to others. Hot Rod Magazine runs what they call Drag Week, which puts cars and drivers at five different venues to see who is the top dog. The cars have to be driven from track to track under their own power with no support vehicles. Its a pretty cool event. A good way to go out and have fun in a car. Whether or not most of these are street cars is debatable to most, but 1000 mile trip, is a 1000 mile trip.
 

7.3 @ 204 mph . Driven 1000 miles on this event. Run on the same tires for the 1000 miles. Street car/ Streetable car either way it did 1000 miles and over 200 mph in the quarter mile. 555 cubic inches , twin 88 mm turbos, Lenco 5 speed , 33 x 18.5 ET Streets. Gangsta.
The venues from this last event.

DSPORT Nissan Skyline GT-R 9.86 @ 145 mph : Battle of the Imports

DSPORT Nissan Skyline GT-R 9.86 @ 145 mph : Battle of the Imports November 2009. DSPORT R33 GT-R vs the YoParts R35 GT-R. The R35 got a bad start and Ed Bergenholtz let off. This was the best pass for the DSPORT R33 this day.  New Nitto drag radials were on the car. The NT05R. Very soft, big wide strip of rubber in the middle . The launches for the R33 were a little soft all day. Mike worked on it, but did not end up improving on this pass. This is the quickest pass for this car improving on its previous best 9.98 pass.
