09gtr Lives Again

[09GTR]

Well, as you'd be aware 09GTR was destroyed a couple of months ago, just as it was going through its latest Greddy upgrade for Bathurst. Thanks to the good work of the lads at Col Crawford and my insurer I was able to take delivery of a new 2010 Grey GTR the Saturday before Bathurst. I had to drive a couple of thousand clicks to run her in, and then some very mild fettling from CRD (a mid-pipe, dump pipes, and Cobb tune, plus brake upgrade) saw a solid 360 atw, and ready for Mount Panorama.

These pictures are taken six days after I picked the car up and just a few hours before cracking a 2:26 at the Mountain. The plan from here is to get the maximum from the stock turbos (say 400 - 420 atw) on 98, then get a few kms on the car, and then get those big Greddys doing their thing.

I'll update things as we go.

I owe a big thank you to CRD for prepping the car in time, and for the great work they did at the track over the course of the event. White 35 (pictured above) was able to smash a 2:21 which pretty much meant he was the fastest road registered car on the day.

btw - the 2010 seems much improved over the 09, the sat nav is a revelation, as is the suspension. Takes to fettling very well also!!!

Very nice indeed!

Looks good

Have now upgraded the Cobb Software, added tranny cooler, HKS intercooler and BOVs, custom 4 inch exhaust (looks stock from outside) sounds awesome, brake system upgrade including pads, discs, braided lines, fuel pump. Car makes around 390 atw on pump gas stock injectors and turbos.

I have decided to sell my Greddy turbo kit and am going to opt for the Willall upgrade instead. Reason being I want low and mid range. The Greddy system is brand new so pm me an offer.

Never stop loving gunmetal!

seriously have a look at martins water cooling system.

[Martin Donnon]

How are you finding the active brake cooling Mark?

[handbrake]

sorry to stray off topic but to answer Martin's question, the brake and tranny cooling is definitely noticeable performance-wise. I have my water cooling for the brakes and pump for the tranny hooked up to 2 switches. I certainly notice it by mid to late sprint session when I haven't turned them on. Will collect some data next season.

Why but why. Is there any car out there that they wont wreck. Plus it will probably end up with 28inch chromies
