Well here I am in Sydney having been invited by Rod Markland and Terry Ashwood to attend this weekend for the last V8 Super car round, and of course the fabulous Group A and C Historics. To say I am having a ball is a complete understatement.

And the R35 is simply awesome. We have this car on loan from Nissan for the whole weekend.

Some more pics from today. Rod ran a fantatic race, starting from last because of a DNF yesterday, and gained to get a tenth from a grid of 35 cars. Adam in the bluebird had brake issues and as already advised the Exa was out for today, but Glen Seton managed a second behind Paul Stubber in the A9X for the last race of the day. It as really a huge day today, with Skaifies last supercar race, and the crowd was unreal. The R35 was a massive drawcard, and everyone loves Terry Ashwood's R32. The HR31's also drew a huge gathering, and everyone it seems has some sort of memory about these cars. I had a great weekend, looking forward to coming home, but something I will never forget. I have felt very priviledged to be involved with this event.

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
