Switzer P800 Nissan GT-R Breaks Quarter Mile Record – 10.193 ET
October 16th, 2009
Word is in that Russan, Switzer P800 tuned, Nissan GT-R owner Oleg, has broken the world record for quarter mile ET for a Nissan R35 GT-R when he ran 10.193 yesterday.
We’re told that, in addition to the Switzer P800 package, the car was running 19″ Dymag lightweight carbon fibre wheels fitted with 315/30R19 Hoosier R6 tires. The car was also running VP Racing MS109 race gas. Even with the super sticky Hoosiers the car constantly spun the tires a good way down the strip.
It’s early days yet but according to our source, a video is inbound soon.
Thanks to JURY from Dragtimes.info for the tip.

Hoosiers are a road race tire with a stiff sidewall. The R6 is for regular road racing. They should at least put the softer compound A6 on it. The A6 is an autocross compound and comes up to temp quicker.
If they want to break into the 9′s soon, they need to put some more sidewall height. The Mickey Thompsons in an 18 are much better for drag racing.

Easy there Greek, no need to bad mouth. These guys, in Russia, probably ran at a closed off public road or at some air field, due to lack of a drag strip. So if these guys managed that time at just any old road, imagine what the car would have done on a proper strip…?
Everyone bitches about these times not being on a track, what will happen when they do run on a track? This isnt even the R850 car, which is coming soon to the streets of Russia, an 850+hp GTR tuned by Switzer on race gas. They ran this grey GTR on MS109, what will happen when they turn up the boost with VP Import or Q16? If there is a trans in the world to hold up to this madness, and tires to put this power to the ground, records will shatter and jaws will drop.

Anyone got a “League Table” of fastest passes? Yeah ok, they will be faster on a strip and various factors such as track conditions and weather will all be different, but for curiosity’s sake, whats quickest and where?
