Have to let you all in on a secret :)

I am heading out to ORAN PARK today to watch MARK SKAIFE test his old GROUP A R32 GTR (the Winfield car) that is now owned by Terry Ashwood. He is testing this car on the GP at full flight.

It is a two car test. The other car is the new R35 GTR, and will be a story in an upcoming WHEELS magazine.

They are doing full data today.......lap times, corner speeds etc etc

Have a good day :)

Well obviously they did not want everbody to know about it. I had to keep my mouth shut for weeks!!!

Was a great day. The R35 was Nissans with the rego plate NEWGTR from VIC.

They had the old HR31 out for a play as well!!

Will be a feature story in WHEELS in MAY.

I did not get a chance to see the data. Skaifey was in and out of oran park like a flash!!!

I think he did as little as he needed.

No pics, sorry. I work for WHEELS as well, so you will have to wait for the mag to come out.

The boys were saying Skaifey was doing 18's/19's in the R35. I thought it would do a 17/18....well he is retired haha

As I said, I did not get a chance to see the data so I do not know the exact lap times, corner speeds etc

I am not sure if Skaifey had a big go in Terrys Winfield car as it is his pride and joy as you would expect. I was having a good chat to Terry and he was upset that the car had to do so many laps for the photographer LOL

Was a great site though :(

I say BAN BOZMMAN. Sif work for wheels should be a deterrent.

If it were the uk the club may well have recieved an invite to such an event,

its a pity Nissan are so embarrased by their years of neglect toward the Australian skyline community they hide their shame by shit canning us.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
