When do we see the Bathurst '91 & '92 winners, the GIO car and the Lindsay Fox Gibson car together?

Put me down for tickets whenever that day occurs. Love to see it.

That makes for a few Bathurst poles/wins & championship wins right there.

Hopefully someone could bring all the other factory Nissan racers as well. The superb sounding 31's, R30, Bluebird, etc.

Living in SA ensures that I see bugger all Historic Group A/C racing and I can't begin to tell you how much that sucks.

Not too many Muscle Car Masters or Phillip Island Classics going on around here.

Looking for a decent turn out for the Skyline Nationals coming up, factory racers at the Mallala track day should keep me happy for a while.

Pretty sure the GIO car, Winfield GTR, HR31, DR30 and EXA will be at the national's this year.

P.S. Correct me if i'm wrong Caz!

Jetwreck, Hope this is correct. I know you that most of the historic guys are busy at EC this weekend but it would be great to see all of those cars at Mallala as well.

I guess it's been a while since the factory Nissan's have been around Mallala? I know I was there in '92.

Have they been there since?

Fingers crossed for a good turn out.

Winfield GTR or not....after my drive today of the GIO car(my first drive of the 32 at full steam I might add)........F#$k what a weapon!!!

Got about a million pix from the Saturday. Will try and post up tonight.

Was epic seeing terry in the Winfield car in the last race on Saturday make up a whole heap of positions. Looked stunning coming onto the straight, with the headlights on.

That little M3 though was amazing. I think it was seton driving , right?

Also loved the look of the ANZ Sierra's.

so what did it feel like?

im guessing very unrefined, extremely firm & a lot of power?

what power do they make anyway?

only got to do the Handy cap race in the GTR(dad wanting it back for the races...bastard :D) but had a good dice with Seton in the Ford Credit Supercar! Car feel's awesome....so much grip......and surprisingly very easy to go quick in straight away!

P.S. Ben, I was in shock when Dad offered me the drive.....was shitting myself when I was told I had to try to come first(no pressure :P )......there was a 45 second handy cap from the first car leaving....got second :)....Seton third. Got down to a 1:46.4 through traffic on my 5th lap...not bad for a P plater ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
