Check out the Nissan Micra Cup cars in Canada.

Nismo suspension, roll cage, seat, brakes and tyres etc, $20k Canadian.

I love this thing! I wonder how well it would make a daily... :D

Maybe this is similar to the cup that Duncan used to race in (Mirages, right?)

From the source article;

Motorsports in Action, a Quebec racing shop, preps the Micras for Cup duty. It adds a Nismo suspension kit, FIA-approved racing seat with a five-point harness, safety cage, upgraded brakes, modified exhaust, and Pirelli low-profile performance tires. The stock 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine – rated at 109 horsepower and paired to a five-speed manual gearbox – remains stock.

So Awesome.

What do you think? I reckon it'd be a blast! I wonder if you can buy one to use privately and not as part of the cup?

According to the quote I posted, the engine is actually double stock.

M7+1 it's just the stocker with a pod filter. Doesn't make it a race engine. :P

Production race car means race engine. No matter how lacklustre. If it died on the track due to being shit, would they cover it under warranty?

Yeah if they had a micra series here I'd be there with bells on. These is nothing like a big grid of same performance cars to make great racing. Only the panel repair bills become a problem because those with too much money don't care about the repair bills

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
