Full on FIA GT rules with 3 classes of power to weight.

GTA min of 2.7Kg/Hp

GTB min of 3.7Kg/Hp

GTC min of 4.7Kg/Hp

40 minute mini enduro races with mandarory pits stop of driver change or refuel.

Performance box data recorder for checking power out put.

open to all but GT1 cars, but sportsedans i have arrange to slip under the radar and can be used LOL

ohh i ample BB, have you been peeking in the showers again !

I have options i suppose.

Sad old R32 wide body Skyline RB26/30 running the GPC class.

S1 Lotus exige with K20 Honda conversion in GPB class. Being built as we speak.

S1 Lotus exige with turbo honda conversion in GPA class.

Or Sportsedan with F3$% off V8 engine, clunky old 4 speed gearbox and a quickchange diff

Just for interest we are going to develop this body kit a bit more so its sits lower to the surface and flat bottom the old car. Also ordered or going to as soon as i work out what the difference in oil picks up are, a RIPS RB26/30 bottom end and a stocko too.

Seems the garage these days is knocking out body kits for lots of different cars you should see the EVO currently under development. Might be able to find a link to show you

Support race i dont think that would be a possiblity. But they are talking about getting our cars down there before the F1 to give the circuit a pounding to see if there are any issues before the F1 race Snowy.

At this point there is talk of hold some of our race meeting there but thats yet to be confirmed.

Sad sad day!

Seems that the skyline will be commited to trackdays from here on it. I just cant see a way i could get it to compete with what is on the way for our next race season. The heat here just kills the FI cars. Dont think i could bring myself to sell it but will cross that bridge if and when. Will put it online and see if some one is keen enough to campain it again.

Not sure if i will be allowed back on the site but my business partner and i have ( tomorrow ) purchased a GT3 viper to race in the GTA class and the Lotus exige ( with K20 honda conversion ) for the endurance racing and GTB class if we feel like doing 45 minutes each.

very sorry to hear that, you've probably done more races in a skyline than anyone on here. but in the end racing's about competing, there is no reason to run around on your own at the back :D

the viper and exige will be a real step up, more reliable, and probably cheaper over time

Hey Duncan,

Had a change of heart we are rebuilding the engine for the old girl as i got her apart last weekend on a 2 day trip backto dubai from Joburg.....was only 47 degrees and pulling a rb26 out of a GTR i need medical help i reckon.

Anyway i am going to finish what i started and get engine back together, needs crank rods etc etc. Then fit the wide body kit and then let the engine tuner run it in the GTC class, which seems we can get the old girl down to that power to weight. Had some thoughts on a new look for the oldgirl. Yes the viper will be on a different plant but i think the skyline will always be a favorite, and not just me i have lots of people telling me i have to run it again LOL quite clearly thesepeople dont know what it takes to keep a GTR running

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
