I'm probably gunna get bagged out for this, but my first car was a 1978 VB sl/e commodore with a worked 308, turbo 400 tranny and a nine inch. It ran 13 sec quaters and had a top speed of about 240km/h.

I've still got it and am planning to rebuild it (make it even faster), as soon as I finish saving up for an R32 GTR.

95 Hyundai Excel 3 Door Hatchback......Laugh all you like. Punished everyday of it's life, has driven over 310 thousand K's and still going strong. It has been the best investment I have made to date.

Mods: One big arse stereo (in it's day). Infinity Kappa splits, 6X9's and a 12 inch in the boot. Recall racing a "Devil Yellow Mini". Now those were the days. LOL

1979 Torana

- 202 stage 1 with a stage 2 cam (about 25/65), Genies, Holley, the usual stuff

- M20 & about 3 or 4 diffs (kept braking them).

- yellow with a black bonnet, hotwires (heheh) & no bumpers

- plenty of camber 225s on the front, 185s on the back for dodgy dorifto Oz Style

My first car:

GTR R32 T88-33d, Cams, etc etc etc....

400kw@ wheels

Lucky first car aye!!!

So your actually dead right & this is like the brother or relative telling people what your car was? FMD 400kw @ the wheels for a P plater is a tad extreme.... I hope Daddy didnt buy it.

:headspin: I'm amazed at the amount of PPl who can afford the $$$ to get something pretty flash as a first car!?!?

1. is it that either someone else fronted up with the money for you, or

2.you used other peoples cars for most of your early driving life, or

3. you lived at home riding the train / tram / getting a lift, not spending the money that you earnt??? :headspin:

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
