Heat Treatments Nissan Skyline GT-R Goes 7.41@193

The Heat Treatments R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R is in Australia, and set a new personal best, and new record.  They ran a 7.45 and a 7.41 at a huge 193 mph.
Check out the video below. They said they were going to start running the 350Z if they went 7.4 in the R32, but hopefully they keep running it. 6's and 200 mph would be cool to see in the old R32.

Reece Mcgregor has today reset his own world record for the quickest 4wd powered car in the world. The team have been working extremely hard for many years to break out of the 7.5 (pb 7.53) zone and today, absolutely smashed it, firstly with a 7.45 @ 193, followed by the record setting 7.41 @ 193 mph. 

Big congratulations on a lot of hard work which eventually paid off. The team planned to release their Nissan 350z drag car once the car broke into the 7.4s, and we'll be waiting patiently for their next move.

Irwindale Thursday Night 1/8th Mile Drag Racing 5-16-13

Nissan GT-R at the Irwindale 1/8th mile drag strip

A few of the local SoCal Nissan GT-R owners headed over to Irwindale Event Center for some 1/8th mile drag racing Thursday 5-16-13. There are not a lot of local drag strips in LA. Pomona 1/4 Mile drag strip is just about off limits to street cars due to neighbor complaints.

 Fontana - Auto Club Speedway Dragstrip was also shut down by some of its neighbors complaining. The drag strip runs alongside a set of train tracks. Nothing even that loud runs at the drag strip. Typical whiners that move in next to a racetrack or airport and complains.  The latest from July says they are going to install a sound wall to appease the "group of concerned citizens." Hopefully they open the 1/4 mile up again soon. The closest place to run a quarter mile now is Bakersfield.  Check out some photos from last night.

STATEMENT REGARDING AUTO CLUB DRAGWAY

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. (July 31, 2012) – “The Auto Club Speedway has reached a settlement with a local group of concerned citizens in the San Bernardino County area known as CCoMPRESS, represented by Chatten-Brown & Carstens related to the operation of the Auto Club Dragway. As a result, the Auto Club Speedway may resume operations at the Auto Club Dragway if it first complies with a series of requirements intended to mitigate the environmental impacts to the surrounding community, including construction of a soundwall.”

RD28 Engine Repair Manual

Why the RD28? It is a diesel version of the inline 6 Nissan engine. Its heavier and stronger than the old RB blocks. I never weighed the one I have, something I will have to try one day.

Happy Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 : This Is How Its Done

R32 getting it. Hellaflush. Hellafire. 

The last post was how you fuck up a Nissan Skyline GT-R. This post from Speedhunters is how you properly build a Nissan Skyline GT-R. Gibson Motorsports in Australia ran a couple of Group A based Nissan Skyline GT-R's in Australia until they were eventually banned.  Head over to the story on Speedhunters for a ton of great pictures, and more of the controversial story.

Mark Skaife, and Jim Richards drove the car.

Sad Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 : Don't Try This at Home

If you have to carry two tires, a jack, and enough wood to build a fence, maybe rethink things.

Come on kids, don't fuck them up like this.  Colors, are a personal preference, not my style. Its unique I will give it that. A roof rack and storage box with two spare wheels and enough wood so you can drive the car up driveways? So low that there is no longer any travel in the suspension.   Fake ass Varrstoen wheels, a Volk Wheels TE37 knockoff, with a 225 tire stretched on a 10.5 inch.  If you want a guide on fucking up an R32, head over to illmotion.

I hate your fake wheels! JDMEGO
