Aucklander Reece McGregor has
set a world quarter-mile
(400m) sprint record for
all-wheel-drive cars. McGregor
launched his r32 Nissan
Skyline off the line at
Queensland's Willowbank
Raceway and was clocked at
7.57 seconds and 190mph
(307km/h). Earlier he had
recorded 7.59 seconds over the
distance. McGregor's best time
in New Zealand is 7.81 seconds
and 177mph (287km/h). The 1992
Skyline is powered by a
turbocharged straight-six
engine .fastest awd car in the
world,hks is slower by .5 sec
Reece has spent about $250 000
on this beast.so they say.

*it currently produces
1600-1700hp at 38psi.
*it uses a heavily modded
gt45r turbo(secret specs)
*its a very heavily modified
rb26 but is using a very
loosely based
hks 2.8 stroker setup with
some top secret f1 technology
to keep the
head stuck down.they would not
tell me what it was.
*it used methanol fuel
*carbon fibre rear
driveshafts/stock front ones
*dry ice coler
*it can be free revved and
make 40psi of boost so lag is
not an issue Surprised
*it makes its full 38psi at
6000rpm......
*in the space of 5000-6000rpm
the engine produces an extra
1250hp!!!!!!!

*it currently uses a redline
of 9800rpm to run its hi
190mph runs,on
its 7.59 run last week it was
on the 9300rpm limiter for 50m
or
more.so they turned it up for
more mph.


this block made 1560hp for 3
years and had nothin wrong
with it
internally ,had 4 thou of
gudgeon pin distortion and was
other wise
brand new.new gudgeons and it
was new again.

also makes 1700 with its
current block and has done for
a year now
with no internal wear at all.

they certainly know how to
build a motor.
it could make over 2000hp but
they cant use the power at
all, so its
not worth continuing
development with more
power,1700 is still too
hard to get down currently as
it is they reckon.....as most
would have
seen the 400m of black lines
on its 7.57 run.
