Billet Transfer Case for Nissan Skyline GT-R : Kiwi CNC

Billet transfer case for Nissan Skyline GT-R from Kiwi CNC

New week, new billet parts for the Nissan Skyline GT-R.  The billet transfercase from Kiwi CNC is the part you didn't think you needed until now.  Normally, you won't break one of these.  I've never broken one of these. I have never came close to breaking one, but I have seen them break. Only really powerful drag cars, but like anything if it can be broken someone will break it.  The 2000 hp cars are breaking them. 

I think if I were doing it, I might add some capacity to it too. If you are cruising, the transfer often gets hot, because it has a small amount of fluid in it. You always have some differences in speed, and that causes some friction.  If you have a hot shifter in your Nissan Skyline GT-R, this is often the cause. 

I thought it might be cool, to put the Infiniti FX35,G35, etc electronic clutch in a R32/R33 transfer. Get rid of the ATTESA pump, do it all electronically.

7.48 @189 mph. RIPS R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Gets Into the 40's

The quickest and fastest Nissan Skyline GT-R in the world has been the Heat Treatments R32 GT-R.  March of 2013, Heat Treatments and Reece McGregor went 7.41@193 mph.   Since 2007, when Heat Treatments beat the HKS R33 GT-R, it has been the top dog.  The HKS car held the top spot for nearly 5 years, but Heat Treatments brought the title to New Zealand.

The HKS R33 Drag GT-R has long been one of the most recognized symbols of the HKS global brand, and held the title to world's fastest AWD Drag car for almost five years with its remarkable 7.671 second
pass at Japan's Sendai circuit in October 2001. 

Now RIPS Racing, from New Zealand, is nibbling at the heels of the Heat Treatments car.  Yesterday, they went 7.48@189 mph in their RB30 powered, powerglide equipped R32. Check out some of the videos, several views below.

7.48 @ 189mph. Man I can't wait to get some decent sized tyres on this thing so we can hit it harder off the line

Finally into the 7.4s. Done on 26 x 10in tyres, E85 fuel at 1300kg with a pretty gentle 60ft of 1.23. Can't wait to see what we can do with 28in tyres, methanol, a decent turbo and some weight out of the car. Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us this season, we've had a blast!!!

The Heat Treatments car hasn't been real active, as they were only pushing their own record down. Now they have  another New Zealand car close to their record. RIPS sounds like they might want to push the car into the 6 second range all wheel drive. 7.48 isn't bad on the tracks in New Zealand. The prep is not as good as the prep in some other countries. So if this car travels, even in the current setup, who knows how fast it might go.

Croydon Wholesalers Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Nitrous Issue

I like nitrous. Fun stuff. Makes fast cars go faster. Makes slow cars go faster. The first time I used it on a car, made it seem like someone added an extra turbo to the mix. Its also a little on the dangerous side.In this picture, the Croydon Wholesalers R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R just had a nitrous issue. From what I heard, the linelock button was next to the nitrous button, and instead of linelock, the engine got a large spray of nitrous and fuel at idle, causing what we call combustion. This happened on the wrong side of the throttle blades,and hurt a lot of parts.

This car did get reparied and went 8.55@165 on DOT tires in Australia. Making it one of the quickest Nissan Skyline GT-R's in the world.

The car has performed flawlessly all week and Mark and Joe have done a great job maintaining the car and making sure Steve and Phillip have exactly what they needed all week.  Jodi and Vivian (Phillip’s wife) have been great team moms and looked after the service crew and the drivers better than anyone could have asked for.  We are all very happy to come home with the drivers and car all together in one piece and with a very strong finish!  I am pretty sure this is Steve’s best finish in a Targa Rally and the competition is fierce!  Tony Quinn is a great driver and has a lot of Targa experience with his GT-R having competed in three New Zealand Targa’s as well as others in Australia.  Glenn Inkster is a very talented driver and will surely make a name for himself in the Rally scene.  Watching him flick his Evo through turns is a thing of beauty!

Heat Treatments R32 GT-R : Drag Racing

8-20 Update: Heat Treatments broke the output shaft on their Liberty transmission. The racing is over for this weekend. Next event is in November.

Update:  Testing in Australia, getting the clutch setup correct.  Best pass was a 7.73 @ 187 mph getting loose.


Update from Heat Treatments Team: 

We are having some success..but also having to re-adjust to this sticky track,so much different than what we are use to.
We are changing gearbox ratios today,as our 60ft times are suffering with the car bogging down,
as we normally run consistent 1.18 1.20
And even on our last run of the day (7.73@187) we ran a 1.32 60ft and were 3 tenths slower to the half track, but the mph was good 149.8mph.

If we can find those 3 tenths to the half track?

Time will tell.

HTL Racing

The Worlds Fastest Nissan Skyline GT-R is in Australia at WIllowbank race track today doing some testing . The first pass resulted in a big bog, and they have adjusted the clutch to allow some more slip off the line.
