Australian ECU specialists Haltech have achieved an impressive feat with their brand-new R35 development mule - a 11.124-second quarter mile time from a stock GT-R using nothing more than an aftermarket ECU. Their R35 GT-R is completely standard aside from Haltech’s piggy-back ECU, which squeezes every last drop of performance out of the GT-R’s VR38DETT via some changes to the ignition timing and fuel maps. The interior is still in place, the tyres are the same Bridgestone RE070Rs that come from the factory and even the exhaust - typically the first thing changed by many Japanese tuning houses - is the standard item.
The low 11-second ET was achieved while using the R35’s launch control feature, which proved a little problematic on later runs. Still, given that Haltech have brought Nissan’s new performance flagship within spitting distance of a 10-second quarter mile with such minimal modification, we’re sure we’ll be seeing the bar raised higher and higher and the ETs drop lower and lower as more tuners discover the true potential of Japan’s first real modern supercar.

the evo would of eaten it for breakfast
i agree
What’s been done to the Evo? There’s no way a near-stock Evo is running in the 10’s. Even with bolt-ons, it’ll struggle.
Does anyone know if the Haltech GT-R has had its GPS-based speed limiter defeated? The guy in Perth who owns an R35 ran a mid-11 in his completely-standard car, but tagged the speed cut before the trap.
I would assume that cleaning up the timing and A/F still wouldn’t be enough to pull 0.3-0.4s, but I was hoping the car would break into the 10’s with an unlimited speed and the engine management tweaked.
For those that were interested, the Evo posted a 13.745 during the GT-R’s 11.124 run.
yea the evo had its handbrake on
i dunno about u guys but being in a 10sec car is the ride of a lifetime, where do i sign?
