GTRBlog was down at the Mackenzie’s Motor Trimming Compak Attak out at Western Sydney International Dragway (WSID) at Eastern Creek today to see the Haltech Nissan R35 GT-R run. In their first run of the morning at 9.30am on a cold track into a headwind they ran an 11.1 @ 124mph using the GT-R’s launch control system. Their second run saw the launch control system disarm itself prior to the start but they still ran an 11.5 @ 125.9mph. Their third and final run saw similar issues and they managed an 11.8 @ 126mph. It must be said that this is Halltech’s first run down the strip in the new GT-R so the launch control routine is still not 100% familiar to all their drivers.
GTRBlog spoke with Haltech on their development progress with the new GT-R and after not much more than a week in the workshop they had already cracked the ECU and prototyped their own full computer for engine management. Right now the Haltech Platinum ECU is running ignition, timing and fuel maps for the GT-R while the standard ECU is still in place for ABS, ATTESSA, accessories and so forth.
While developing and tuning the ECU on the dyno Haltech had tried replacing various sections of the exhaust including the center muffler section including the secondary cats as well as the rear muffler section but saw very little in the way of worthwhile gains. They have since put the exhaust back to standard.

I wonder if there is a problem with the launch control or if the driver was unfamiliar with it like they said. I thought I remember the One Lap car had a similar problem.

 

that aint to bad......

 

I figured this thing would be faster after cracking into the ecm. The mph is still pretty low. I'm not too impressed.

But this car was made for the twisties not a straight line I guess

That thing looks pretty freaking fast between the 60 foot and 1/8 mile.

 

Damn quick, impressive.

 

Damn, nice...

 

Then it kinda dies out. 124 mph is not fast for an 11.1....

 

awd fastness....

 

Quick...

 

Maybe so, but 11.1 is still a damn quick time. Not too many other "non supercars" that seem to be putting down times like that.

 

Yes, 11.1 is fast no matter what kind of car it is...but I really expected more from this car considering all the surrounding hype, and all the talk about how much faster it is then evertything else. I mean guys have pulled faster times in a stock Z with factory tires...but like I said before, it was meant for the twisties.

 

The time is great, but the trap speed is much less impressive, especially for a chipped GT-R. Looks like it won't be very fast from a roll, even tuned.

 

is this car insanely fast or what.... i cant wait to get 1
