Hi All,

Small intro.

My name is Craig Markland. My father own's the Group A GIO GTR and I drive for Caz who own's the Group A DR30 + I may be able to get access to a couple of other Group A's....be it R31, BMW's or Sierra's!

We were recently going through how to keep these cars on the track as they require a considerable amount of work and money(like most race car's) and to do so and one of the idea's was to do a track day with passenger ride's. So what I was thinking was to hire out EC for the day(rape!!) with a car club(preferably SAU) to share some of the track hire, insurance and ambulance costs.

The thought behind it was to have passenger rides in the Group A's + a bit of a track practice and setup for some other car's and driver training as well if wanted.

Like I said this is only in thought atm but if it get's enough interest it may be worthwhile doing. The ride would be for about 4 lap's per person(1 laps warm - 2 at speed - 1 cool down) and I cannot commit to a price yet.

Anyway just putting it out there guy's to help keep the Nissan Australia Heritage alive and maybe feeling what these things can actually do and why we think(know) they were so great in there time!

P.S. Sorry Admin if I have posted this in the wrong area....feel free to move it if wanted!

cheers

Craig

I'd be more than happy to take you for a few laps in any one of the classic Nissans Craig.

Let me know a date and time that suits.

LOL!....I'm sure you would!.....and judging by what I have seen of your driving (from about 2" away) I'm sure your more than capable....but................!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
