Hi mate.

I did the V8 drive in Feb and it was great. I also recommend doing 8 instead of 5 coz after 3 or so laps you get the hang of it and then it's really really fun.

They are awesome to drive. Not really that quick but man... slicks, suspension and good brakes! They stop and handle so damn well.

Enjoy it!

one of my mates bought an FPV GTP and also got a free ford track day at Calder Park so he brought his FPV there and let one of the V8 supercar drivers test his car while my mate was in passenger seat and he says it was such a thrill. So ye u r gonna enjoy that

I got to drive a BA GT falcon b4 they were released. Thanks to Ford Aust for the loan!

After 20mins of driving my right leg ached for 1hr just from the accelerator workout!

Plenty of power across the board and loads of fun to drive, but heaps of grip.

she has read these forums before... so i think photos are a no no! :D but i do think i will do the 8 laps. the more the merrier. I just checked the site adn yeah they seem to be slightly modded V8s rather than full blown V8 supercars. Will be fun tho. and i'll try to get pics on the day posted up.

My customer Monaro Performance builds these cars for the calder days. They are not a V8 supercar, rather a SS commodore with exhaust, cage, race seats, harnesses, Motec logger, all the vinyls etc etc etc.

Good ride nevertheless.

      Hey I get it. Definitely sounds exciting, but not for me, there is almost no V10 or 12 that I really like. I don't like big engines with high cylinder count. V8s would probably be where I draw the line of "which engine would you use". Specifically an LS7 is a favorite of mine, or the 5.2 Voodoo by Ford.

      But V12 Skyline. Like, I'm In!   Stay Tuned in the USA are jamming a V12 into a Foxbody at the moment... Just the sound of V10 or V12 is worth that adventure!

      To put it in perspective; there is just one tuner shop that sells a single turbo kit for the RB26, at least publicly in their shop. Maybe one or two others can offer you a setup if you inquire, but I am not sure. That turbo kit is 16k in parts alone (high quality ones, but still). By the time it's installed, tuned and legalized expect it to cost 25k+. And then you still didn't take into account for any special wishes. I can't imagine legalizing an LS swap for example to be any cheaper. And if you want to legally raise power output by more than 40% of the highest-powered OEM variant of any specific car you'd have to do stress testing on a race track for 2000km. Wildly out of perspective cost and effort wise, especially for just one vehicle. But if you got too much money, I guess you could do it.

      Yeah, I understand that TÜV is a bitch, but.... cost is not an issue when talking about putting a massive NA (or possibly large + turbo'd) V engine into a Skyline. We do it because it is fun. If mine was a project car and not a daily, I'd be finding some massive engine to put in it. Possibly one of the Toyota V12s that they make into monsters in New Zealand. Engineering is not cheap and easy here either (although definitely easier and cheaper than in Der Vaterland). But anything is possible, and 7L is better than ~2.5L, by about 200%.
