grahamc Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 This weekend, the GTR club is taking part in the ASDA Charity day at Bruntingthorpe. Much like the the Nissan Experience day I posted about a little while ago. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88060-nissan-experience-at-donnington/ Seems like it should be a good day:- http://www.on-your-marks.info/ Will be heading up on Friday morning for a club dinner and then the day on Saturday. Will report back with pictures and videos of the day Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Need to sort out the videos, but it was a great day out! GTROC stand was the busiest throughout the entire day and raised nearly £3k from passenger rides! 167mph down the back straight was quite cool Edited August 11, 2014 by grahamc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Seems a bit low for a GTR at Brunters. Did they have the whole straight? Looks like a great day, and the money raised is a great result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a great day, and the money raised is a great result That was just the last 6-8 cars that were on the track when the track closed, for the day we had in the region 15-18 cars. Fantastic day, great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sorry, I meant the speeds! 167mph is very low for a GT-R on that straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sorry, I meant the speeds! 167mph is very low for a GT-R on that straight. hahaa, my misunderstanding.... makes complete sense re-reading your post! They had cones up towards the end and there were lorries at the end, so you didnt want to mess it up. 99% of the time entry to the straight was comprised by slower cars, so starting speed was a lot lower. My GTR is only stage 4, 165mph was about the average, there was one nutter with engine and turbos done that claimed 200mph, but not sure.

Floydbax Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 At V-max 200 the SVM blue GTR was pulling 220's regularly and peaked at 227 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Ah I guess if you had lorries at the end, that would make a bit more sense. I did 176 in mine, which is why the 167 of the GT-Rs sounded a bit low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 At V-max 200 the SVM blue GTR was pulling 220's regularly and peaked at 227 Thats a 1200bhp GTR Ah I guess if you had lorries at the end, that would make a bit more sense. I did 176 in mine, which is why the 167 of the GT-Rs sounded a bit low. Will be posting up some videos a little later, just need to string them together and upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbax Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 And it was running on race fuel and they trailored it there, not in the real V-max style which I think is more drive there, run, drive it home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car was at the Donnington event I went to... link to thread is in the first post. The maniac owner drives one handed (its been modified for him - up and down shifts are on a single paddle on the one side - all done by SVM and topnotch work) must have scared the hell out of some of the passengers he took out Edited August 12, 2014 by grahamc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 My other half had a lap in a R33 GTR, driven by a nutter who shall just be called "Paul" not the best video, but makes me laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
