About this episode
If you know anything about time attack, chances are you have seen or heard the incredible R32 'Xtreme' GTR, but do you know the story behind it? Use ‘PODCAST75’ for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-in This RB power AWD R32 GTR Skyline reset the record in the GCG Open Class at the World Time Attack Challenge event under Tim Slade's capable jandals with a blistering 1:25 .92. Recent upgrades to the car helped make this happen, including some aero changes courtesy of Sydney Composites and a bigger Precision Turbo & Engines 8080 Gen2 to make the most of it. In a slightly different angle from the tech we generally dive into, this chat with owner Michele Guyer gives a little insight into some of the organisation and trust that goes into a long-term project like this GTR, which is now undoubtedly one of the world's fastest and best-presented time attack competitors. As always, a lot of people and companies are involved behind the scenes, including FE Motorsports, Platinum Racing Products, Racetech Performance, Plazaman, Nitto Performance Engineering, Bosch Motorsport, Amaando Seals, Nulon, Xtreme Clutches, DAS and more. ------------------------------------ TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - Michele Guyer 0:15 - Building The Team 3:02 - The Origins: BSM GTR 4:10 - Billet Before It Was Cool 4:53 - Pro Vs Owner Driver 6:19 - Engine, Transmission Etc 7:08 - Recent Upgrades 9:36 - Future Plans? 10:10 - Spoiler: They Won Their Class 11:18 - Thanks Michele! 11:35 - Tim Slade Jandal Down! 12:20 - Braaaaaaaap! 13:00 - 1:25 .92 13:13 - BUILD.TUNE.DRIVE
