If you listen to this one, it sounds like it just lit up when it grabbed 2nd?

Maybe not enough front split as it seemed to react like a 2wd car?

Oh damn, that is a sad sight to see

ShaggyR32GTR · 24th August 2010, 06:54 AM

Ouch

that is such a shame. I'm well gutted for u guys, i love watching the progress of this car.
Does sound like the tyres spun up right at the end there

Showed the vid to a friend who has a bit of experience with quick gtr's - he said it reacted like it snapped a front or rear half shaft.

ATCO · 24th August 2010, 09:16 AM

Or the diff might have thrown a wobbler when all that grunt hit it as I guess when he shifted to 2nd any 'boost/rev' restrictions came off and the afterburner lit up.

It would be very sad to see such a piece of history and a car that has served the guys well to be consigned to the scrap heap. I hope they cosmetically straighten her out and put the car on display somewhere. It is worthy and deserves it.

rear left looks to have let go after watching it closely. Ive done the same but fortunately it did it off the line. Ive also raced with the lsd broken on that side and its very hard to keep off the walls with 1/3 less power on radials let alone with that amount of power on slicks. Mark has always shown incredible car control and i say that another driver behind the wheel with less skill would have seen the car go nose in.

SafT · 24th August 2010, 09:37 AM

Yeah, saw the vid of that pass with the stripped diff spline

Yeah I was thinking that, as soon as I saw the vid it reminded me of when GTSts let go of half shafts - here's a mate of mine's RB30DET GTSt reacting to a snapped half shaft in 3rd at Taupo but obviously far less power/violence:

Maybe Mark or Red R will be able to let us know if they found any broken axles, does seem strange that it headed left though, usually with wheelspin only they tend to head right.

Spinning the front wheels, I have headed left hard. He nearly caught it. He did a hell of a job getting the correction in.

that'll bring Johnny out of his winter hibernation

Lith · 25th March 2011, 03:52 AM

First runs will be in a few hours - good luck Reece and crew

Andy - if you are talking about Bradshaw then HT beating his time moves him to #3 in the Skyline charts, or still nowhere in the GTR runnings haha

"Best run, 7.93 @ 176mph with a slipping clutch from mid track, first run of the day we broke a rear axle out of the hole. We did a total of two runs, tomorrow morning we need to change the clutch so its an early start for the team"
