Just got back from this.. one of the best motoring events you could ever go to. I've been to the GP in Melb and things, and for sheer coolness and variety this event would have to top it. Not only do get to see pretty much every classic car you could imagine, for once you actually get to see them race on a nice tight street circuit right up close. And you can just move around to one of the many awesome vantage points throughout the day. Best of all, only $25 for the whole day.

It's mostly oldies and classics, and they had pretty much most of the classic Bathurst winners, and most of Brocky's old racers -- and they had a bit of a tribute to him which was an emotional event for the rev heads. Ironically (curiously?) the famous A9X Torana broke down during parade lap, and had to be towed around! Even a Pagani fanging it around there, and people just having a heap of fun.

Anyhow, this is still skyline related.. as there are a few shots of the Gibson HR31 and Winfield Bathurst GTR. Was great to see them up in person, and even see under the hood of the infamous GTR, which didn't look all that out there to be honest in terms of GTR.

It's only an hour or so from the Goldcoast, so don't miss out next year if you're a fan of some of the classics.

Yup...its the endurance setup i think...with backup pumps and all. Nothing wrong with a mechanical fuel pump, if anything its reliable seeing no electrics with it, well except whats in the boot. Lovely setup for something thats 14-15 years old. From what SK was saying i think they were around the 600bhp mark originally until they were forced tune it down and add weight - unfortunately thats the disadvantage of being too quick :thumbsup:

Yeh the cylinders one feeds fuel and the other equalises the tank pressure so you can get fuel in as quick as possible, time is everything.

    • 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
