I love living 5 minutes from willowbank. ShaneF and i meandered out to the testntune night and were fortunate to watch Mark in the Godzilla 32 run a blistering 8.69 at 158 mph on mickey T street radials.
If i am not mistaken that makes it the quickest class run in the country. The car launched hard and stuck at every shift point. Congrats to all involved.   |

thanks guys... first outing with the new liberty gearbox....
3rd run of the night 8.695 at 158.95mph with a 1.351 60ft on mt 255-16 radials. makes it fastest gtr in aus on street tyres and 2nd fastest in the world behind the vielside r32 gtr which ran 8.62 i think.... thanks to all the guys who helped with the build...  -------------------- |

Bugger, almost makes me wish I didn't take the boat out on the river for the fireworks.
Noel, keep me posted for the next outing mate. -------------------- No, I don't make HICAS bars anymore.

I have it in my head a UAE R32 GT-R built by Sub Zero did something like an 8.2 or 8.3 on DOT tires as well? Either way, an 8s run in ANY form with a 4WD is absolutely nuts, well done - thats awesome news.

I think both Croydon's and Reese (as well as Suckling's car) were all running Holiger sequentials. Only Reese updated to a true clutchless (and now mr Jacobson as well). Think they were on the ET bias-ply DOTs too.

Actually I think you are sortof right, the Croyden's GTR WAS a Hollinger sequential - I got my wires crossed, Glenn Sucklings OWN R32 GTR was a manually shifted Hollinger box - running full drag slicks though. The fastest manually shifted GTR I believe, think thats how I got confused. -------------------- '97 R33 GTS25t with Garrett GT3076R on board :)

Nah, nobody buys a H pattern Holiger.
"It also has a Holinger sequential 6 speed gearbox with custom GDS Motorsport ratios which is also modified in conjunction with Holinger. In it’s current guise it is 5 speed" http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-Skyline-8sec...Z1QQcdZViewItem |
