Yup that's it, attention to detail of every inch of that car is an understatement. Not to mention the 1.37 was done on a damp track with a busted front right CV.

Yes Sam builds and works on race cars for a living, and his car is always impressive and immaculate. We talk a lot on the phone, and it was great to catch up. He got my attention last year at Phillip Island. We shared a garage at this event and lots of people were coming to our garage to check out the two Nissans. I have been to his workshop, which is big immaculate shed 25 mins out of Albury on his property.

That Torry must have been the white Sports Sedan with massive gaurds and rubber.

The event was not promoted well and very late as it was approved late I heard.

Yea your right JP the xu1 was the sports sedan.

66 entrys is crap,,we get more to a state round,,,apparently it's on again next year in Vic land then the year after in QLD.

I have to echo everybodies comments on the GTR,,,bloody great looking,,,clean car. Those front brakes are bullshit. The only other GTR I have ever seen to that standard is Terry's ex-Gibson car.

I personally had a great weekend,,,9th on saturday and 5th on sunday with an overall of 7th and a 3rd in class all done in absolute disgusting weather and on shagged old tyres. Seems my suspension tweeks over night worked. A little icing on the cake was beating John on sunday and beating dennis (ex-owner)overall. Now if I had only done on saturday what i changed for sunday,,,.

Oh did I mention my body is bruised and battered from 2 days in a fibreglass seat.

John Harper is the owner of the torana sports sedan, Its got a big dollar FJ20 in a 3/4 space frame chassis, the engine is your passenger.

Its always out at the club sprints and usually one of the faster cars on the day.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
