CRD's reputation is built upon multiple world-class achievements including winning, multiple Autosalon “Final Battle Dyno” competitions, multiple Australian Production Car Championships, national endurance races along with a number of world record breaking drag racing titles.
Screwing together some of Australia's toughest Nissan RB26s, SR20s and Mitsubishi’s infamous 4G63 are only part of the service, with CRD being widely respected for its aftermarket ECU tuning prowess, including a rather impressive reputation for getting the most out of aftermarket ECU tuning by using the in-house AWD Dyno Dynamics dynamometer. As part of its current workshop, Croydon Racing Developments boasts a large showroom, carrying a massive range of products like Akrapovic, AMS, COBB Tuning, Haltech, Herrod SCT, HKS, Injector Dynamics, JUN, Motec, NisTune, Nitto, OS Giken, Tomei, VCM Suite, and more.
Backing up its reputation is a long list of racing achievements, with the legendary GTR700 R33 GT-R and ‘DEVLSH’ S14 Silvia drag cars leading the charge. Both cars are due to head back onto the strip very shortly to continue the assault on the Australian and world drag stage. As it stands, GTR700 was until recently the fastest Nissan GT-R outside of Japan, and the third-fastest GT-R in the world. DEVLSH is certainly no lightweight either, being the fastest 200SX in the world. CRD’s own FWD drag warrior, the ‘MRDMGE’ EG Civic, also looks set to make a long-awaited return to the track.
From humble beginnings, it’s safe to say Jim and the team at CRD are right up there as one of the most prominent workshops in the performance tuning industry, in the world outside of Japan. Be sure to keep an eye on the drag strip as well as the race track for more wild cars and engines from CRD.
