So sad !!!! :)

I've had the pleasure of parking my butt in the drivers seat of that DR and it gave me goosebumps !! The car is in "as is" condition, fresh from it's last race 15 odd years ago and it still has all the race car appeal that it did when I saw it race around the mountian so many years ago........ Oh how I wish I had the money....... :D

As for the EXA........... Well that car's just plain SCARY !!! Can you say "touque steer" ??? No wonder Fred gave it to Christine to drive :)

I wonder if this is the one thats at the Laporchetta Trackside resturaunt in Gosford. The owner has a DR gibson skyline, Longhurst's old seirra and heaps of skyline posters/photos/signed stuff etc

go book a table and have a look :)

Of course the GTR doesn't get out too often, I don't think its much good as a daily driver. He did bring it along to the first show n shine and to a track day a while back, but the R31 gets out much more often.

If that dr is $150000 what would the GTR be worth???

It had a ground up refurbishment after it's last race ( and has never been raced since ) so at a guess, considering it's condition ( unf***in believable ) and racing heritage ( just say "GODZILLA" ), I would suggest you would be pushing some big 6 figure $'s to get your hands on it ( if Terry would ever part with it ) :) If he did I know I'd be in morning for a long time :(

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
