8 Second Street Trim GT-R From Australia
Down in Australia, this R32 GT-R 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.

Testing the transbrake.
This Nissan Skyline GT-R weighs in at 1601kg with driver or (3529 lbs). The car runs a set of HKS 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.
Nice runs. Way to go.

and another one from a canadian gtr site.
Its that hood and turbo that cause the issues. Look how much lower those hood vents sit.
