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................!

      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
