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!!!!

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
