And once they clarified that, Alpha Logic continued to make history. “People still call it a GT-R record, but it`s actually an all-wheel drive record,” says Harper. “It`s the fastest and fastest all-wheel drive car in the world. We have now broken the record four times. TX2K is four days of road racing that gets the adrenaline pumping. It is a special event in the motorsport calendar that has been attracting transmissions from all over the world for 20 years. It takes place in Texas and the TX2K event is a mecca for streetcar fans, attracting around 30,000 spectators each year. It`s all about cars, speed and performance. There are drag races, roller races and a really cool auto show. Holding the record for the world`s fastest four-wheel drive vehicle would probably be enough for most teams, but Harper is already aiming for the next step. “Of course, the goal is always to be faster,” he says. “I think the next record we`d like to shoot on would be the IRS record. About five years ago, it was abandoned by a Corvette that drove 6.54 – a car that was more than a thousand pounds lighter than ours.
I think we are on the right track. There are crazy engine sets for these cars. Bolts that can turn these already fast road cars into truly impressive race cars. And one of those GT-Rs showed up at the TX2K event in Texas this year, and the boy turned a few heads. During the session, the team also managed to break the record for the fastest GT-R on the road with a quarter-mile time of 6.840 seconds at 209.20 mph. The Nissan GT-R is known in the flirting world as the basis for some of the fastest and most powerful cars on the Strip. We`ve seen several powerful fast GT-Rs and today`s example is no different. In fact, it`s – it`s faster than everyone else.
“We promised him that his car would be the car at the top of the all-wheel drive supremacy list,” Maatouks Racing said on Facebook. “That promise came true, but we didn`t just give him a recording as he requested, we took a bunch of files with us while we were searching. The first record we recorded was the fastest GT-R, which is any GT-R or Skyline ever produced. Secondly, of course, we set the record for the fastest R32 Skyline and the third fastest all-wheel drive, and then the rest fell: the fastest IRS import, the fastest import on Radial, the fastest and fastest automatic RB and also the fastest in Australia on a 275 Radial. In the video at the top of this page, you can discover a record set by Sydney-based Maatouks Racing. First brought to our attention by DragNews, the plate was made with the team`s Metro GTR, a heavily modified GT-R of the R32 generation. It`s not a legal machine for the road, but its quarter-mile time is absolutely incredible – 6,472 seconds at 219.94 miles per hour, recorded on the Sydney Dragway. Last year, the competition to build the fastest Nissan GT-R of the R35 generation reached epic proportions, with the AMS Performance and Extreme Turbo Systems (ETS) tuners replacing the shots when quarter-mile records were broken. Probably the most famous GT-R on the drag racing scene is the AMS “Alpha Omega”, a project car that was the first GT-R to break into 9-second, 8-second and 7-second clubs. “It`s a 2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition that started as a road car,” says Harper. “The owner, Mohammed Al-Baker, had the car for some time, and AMS had already built the car at about 2,000 horsepower when I started. At that time, it was 8.0.
Although this GT-R was already a very fast machine, Harper had bigger plans for it. “We changed the configuration,” he says. “We opted for a front-mounted turbo kit and a T1 Race Development engine.” For its second race, the GT-R takes its place on the line. The team looks nervously from the pits. When the driver shifts into first gear, you immediately notice that something is wrong. The car begins to shake and the car crunches like a broken machine gun. On the camera in the car, you can see that the driver is not receiving any energy while desperately trying to accelerate. The gear changes seem clumsy and the engine makes a very loud crackle. There is certainly a problem. Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked with * Gran Turismo Racing (GT-R) is undoubtedly a fast car. Standard series line cars can reach 60 mph in less than 3 seconds, and they can reach high-end speeds close to 200 mph.
Not bad for a sporty Grand Tourer. The Precision team took him out of the park, finished the car and sorted it for the track. You have to ask yourself where the power race will end or if it will end. Three thousand is a large number, but there is no doubt that we will apply more to these Nissans in the future. And we`ll see more records broken if these great racing teams continue to break through barriers. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Rob has divided his time between the U.S. and the Middle East while leading Alpha Logic and helping with projects in the U.S. “I never know exactly what time it will be,” he says with a smile. Originally an autocrosser, Harper gritted his teeth by building 350Zs and other Japanese performance machines before turning to Corvettes and street course tuning. “Eventually, I ended up in a company called Top Speed Motorsports, which did a lot of GT-R tuning for road circuits,” he explains.
“Shortly after I arrived, we started racing dragsters.” When he returns to the pits after the disastrous race, one of the mechanics runs to see what happens. “It doesn`t work, it doesn`t work, I got nothing, nothing,” says the driver. Frustration is really increasing. It turns out that this is an error on the GT-R on-board computer. “We chose the three-eight because it`s so reliable that we never have any real problems with it,” Terry said. Unfortunately, however, they had some problems last night. After the car made its first pass on the drag track, it overheated strongly on the track. The alternator failed and the gauge valve broke, sending oil throughout the engine. The team had to remove the front and work on the car all night. They found burnt wires from a small shallow fire that needed to be replaced, and it took a while for everything to be cleaned.
“We worked on the car all night, unfortunately there was a small fire that burned the wiring, so we had to replace the land,” he said. This CBA model didn`t last long because Lance installed downspouts, solid exhaust gases, and cold air intakes. The addition of a Cobb access port and standard melody sounded like about 380wkw, which was fun at the time with times of 11 seconds 1/4 mile and lots of fun on the track in the corners. Even at these BDRC events, the track time is short. “It`s a four-day event and the maximum number of races you get each day is two,” Harper says. “And in most cases, we only get one because the event is very busy.” Rob Charles is a freelance writer with a passion for cars. Don`t miss this Japanese monster in action tearing the tape during TX2K. Palo says the diamond snails have proven to be up to the task. “This is the first engine we have made with these custom pistons that Diamond has built for us. We told them what we had to work with and what kind of power we wanted to create, and they created it for us.
