Ok, im new here and still searching thru the mountains of information in the forum. But i thought id start a thread to get advice from you the ones with the knowledge. Ok quick history, brought up with car racing, my dad raced sportscars and i spent most of my young life going to race meetings. I did build up a 260Z for marque sports around 2002,i ran some track days and later sold the car when i found i couldnt afford to run it in the state series, which is now winning events and championships in Malaysia, I moved interstate and got into other things. Anyway im back in Melb, making a little more money (not heaps, but getting better) and am looking at building up a track car, for sprints, track days hill climb etc My top contenders are a S13 Silvia, a 180sx or a R32 or R33 as my base. Any thoughts? I intend on buying something that cannot be registered and have some contacts for getting a car out at a very reasonable price as a track only car. I intend on stripping out all that is not needed (int, seats, heater etc etc) and doing the safety stuff, ie race seat, fire ex, bat cut off etc etc and throwing some decent pads and tyres and getting out and running some laps. What in you opinion offers best out of the box value. I will throw better suspension down the line and then up horsepower with basic things, but its not getting the royal treatment to begin with. Anyway this is already far too long a post. I look forward to all your opinions and thoughts. cheers

amazing footage and hard to watch at times. So happy they for the most part have gotten the fire thing out of the equation in F1 accidents.
