Put this in your diary.

Oran Park June 1/2/3. Historic racing.

Rod Markland and Terry Ashwood will be racing their ex Gibson Motorsport HR31 Skylines in the Group A/C category.

These cars are still in their original Nissan colours, just as they raced in 1988/89/90

The big news is that The Grant/Grant Sizzler car (GMS chassis #4) should be making a comeback.

The car was found in New Zealand and is in excellent condition, in its original Sizzler colours.

It should be arriving back in Australia around the end of this month, and the new owner is keen to have it at Oran Park.

Should be huge, 3 HR31's howling around the circuit.

Be there and cheer on the Nissans!

Rod Markland had his R31 at Wakefield Park yesterday and it was awesome.

These cars did not have any of the level of development that the Gibson R32 GTR’s had (e.g. it was running a plenum that was very similar to a GTS-T’s with a single throttle body) yet it was amazingly quick down the straights compared to the Ford and Holdens that it was running against.

To see three R31’s on the track at once will be great.

Do you know who's going to be racing the Sizzler car?

I was there at Wakefield on the weekend as well...the R31 was awsome...even the starts(Terry and Rod could take some leasons)....nothing beats cubic inch's aye...except for a 2lt turbo NISSAN....V8's are dinosaurs....talking about dinosaurs....Did anyone hear the announcer on the Saturday...he sounded a bit limp wristed....great job Mark....lol

Chris was awsome with the drifting!!!!

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
