We have just got in from Perth having been guests of JPC and Northside Nissan at one of their GTR Experience Track Days. Even though the weather was a bit grumpy there were over a dozen new R35s out there getting on the challenging Barbagallo blacktop for the first time. Both myself and Keir want to thank Nathan and Danny for letting us drive their superbly modified GTR on what would have to be one of the most technical tracks in the country. It certainly was a blast!

In mutual admiration I want to thank Martin and Keir from Willall for coming to Perth and sharing the love and teaching us a thing or two about making the GTR go harder for longer. Danny needed the help with the harder for longer that is for sure. Danny also reclaimed his rib eating title in my absence and brought and a few young girls to the point of chundering in a drift car.

A great couple of days - thanks boys

here are some more pics from a recent GTR Owners Track Day run by Northside Nissan here in Perth. It is a credit to the Dealer principal here who has the passion and the understanding to know his product and his market.

You will notice that the wheels sit out a bit wider and fill the guards a bit better on the JPC GTR as we spaced it out a bit for the track day to try something different. It also looks a bit lower with the Mines Eibach Springs.

You will notice that there are cars lined up for drags and LCT testing. Much fun was had by all.

Loving the car.

Thanks to Willall Racing the JPC GTR has just had a few more upgrades.

We have changed out the standard Transmission Fluid for the Willall Racing fluid. Also installed the Willall Racing High Volume Sump. Now takes close on 8 litres of oil. My past experience with GTR's suggests that this will be one of the best improvements that I will make to the car.

I have attached a pic of the Cobb accessport that we will start playing with. Hopefully we will use it to lean out the safe tune that is in the Mines Type X ECU in the car now.

Loving the car

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
