Hugh Keir's Skyline looks pretty impressive (3 litre now with bigger turbos than Keith Cowie) but less revs & in a heavy R34 Vs a R32.

My turbos are bigger than Hugh's turbos

The problem with the gtt is they're just too light to get any power down. The handfull of 5's out there that are running 12's have all been using full slicks apart from 1 (that I know of) that was running cut slicks and an LSD and he pulled a 12.8 at Santa pod a couple of weeks ago at the rtoc national day. The quickest that I know of on full road tyres (not road legal slicks) is 13.2.

However, keep your eyes peeled for next year as it looks like there might (at long last) be a few gtt's representing
