Yup that's it, attention to detail of every inch of that car is an understatement. Not to mention the 1.37 was done on a damp track with a busted front right CV.

Yes Sam builds and works on race cars for a living, and his car is always impressive and immaculate. We talk a lot on the phone, and it was great to catch up. He got my attention last year at Phillip Island. We shared a garage at this event and lots of people were coming to our garage to check out the two Nissans. I have been to his workshop, which is big immaculate shed 25 mins out of Albury on his property.

That Torry must have been the white Sports Sedan with massive gaurds and rubber.

The event was not promoted well and very late as it was approved late I heard.

Yea your right JP the xu1 was the sports sedan.

66 entrys is crap,,we get more to a state round,,,apparently it's on again next year in Vic land then the year after in QLD.

I have to echo everybodies comments on the GTR,,,bloody great looking,,,clean car. Those front brakes are bullshit. The only other GTR I have ever seen to that standard is Terry's ex-Gibson car.

I personally had a great weekend,,,9th on saturday and 5th on sunday with an overall of 7th and a 3rd in class all done in absolute disgusting weather and on shagged old tyres. Seems my suspension tweeks over night worked. A little icing on the cake was beating John on sunday and beating dennis (ex-owner)overall. Now if I had only done on saturday what i changed for sunday,,,.

Oh did I mention my body is bruised and battered from 2 days in a fibreglass seat.

John Harper is the owner of the torana sports sedan, Its got a big dollar FJ20 in a 3/4 space frame chassis, the engine is your passenger.

Its always out at the club sprints and usually one of the faster cars on the day.

      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.
