Nissan Skyline GT-R Croydon Wholesalers In-Car Pukekohe

This is the Croydon Wholesalers Racing Nissan Skyline GT-R Godzilla running a hot lap at Pukekohe in 2002 with onboard camera as Nick wrestles the new Holinger 6-speed sequential and 1000hp around during a Track Day.

Glad you are enjoying the clip... to answer a couple of questions, the tyres were (a) Nittos for circuit, and (b) Mickey Thompson ET-Street grooved DOT-legal for drag. And yes, the driver in the circuit clips is Nick Jenkins, yes, he is the owner of the car- our pilot for Drag racing was Glenn Suckling, who went on to build his own Drag GT-R under the GDS Motorsport Red Baron logo, he ran a couple of seaons under Mag and Turbo colours and sponsorship. And yes, we still own the Skyline!

Not often you get to see a T88 GT-R climb the hill at puke - especially with a sequential! - Thanks for posting guys

[@kiwisupra]

Thanks for the comments, yes, this is our Drag GT-R prior to a chassis upgrade into a dedicated (but street-legal) 8.55-second 1/4 mile machine on ET Streets. These clips shot just after the install of the Holinger 6-spd sequential, Nick was getting to grips with it here. Wild rides to be had! I'll post up more clips here soon from the Croydon "archives"... Cheers!

And to clear up any confusion, this is our Croydon Wholesalers Drag GT-R from New Zealand, no relation to Croydon Racing Developments in Australia. Car was transformed from a Japanese Wangan racer into what you see here in our Henderson, Auckland workshop. Just after these clips were shot, we ran at Ohakea Airbase and recorded a top speed of 205mph at rev limit in 6th, reached it just over the mile mark from a standing start. Clip of this soon!

Very very nice I love the Turbo sucking in all this air to burn and convert to nice HP/KW's. I guess lots of effort and hours attention spend on this beautiful vehicle. I loved it thank you

[@swedotcom]

fuck man that´s a freaking nice sounding car! The acceleration must be brutal.

[@scottallpress3818]

Sounds a treat

[@falconmanf16]

I agree with you, but also notice how it's only jumping the rev limiter during those bumps. You can see the screen jump when it happens. There's not too much you can do about that.

i have a feeling they know what they are doing

[@swat2400]

[@Recabnomis]

Over-rev the engine did we? What would you do without a tachometer?
