Have to let you all in on a secret :)

I am heading out to ORAN PARK today to watch MARK SKAIFE test his old GROUP A R32 GTR (the Winfield car) that is now owned by Terry Ashwood. He is testing this car on the GP at full flight.

It is a two car test. The other car is the new R35 GTR, and will be a story in an upcoming WHEELS magazine.

They are doing full data today.......lap times, corner speeds etc etc

Have a good day :)

LOL

Well obviously they did not want everbody to know about it. I had to keep my mouth shut for weeks!!!

Was a great day. The R35 was Nissans with the rego plate NEWGTR from VIC.

They had the old HR31 out for a play as well!!

Will be a feature story in WHEELS in MAY.

I did not get a chance to see the data. Skaifey was in and out of oran park like a flash!!!

I think he did as little as he needed.

No pics, sorry. I work for WHEELS as well, so you will have to wait for the mag to come out.

The boys were saying Skaifey was doing 18's/19's in the R35. I thought it would do a 17/18....well he is retired haha

As I said, I did not get a chance to see the data so I do not know the exact lap times, corner speeds etc

I am not sure if Skaifey had a big go in Terrys Winfield car as it is his pride and joy as you would expect. I was having a good chat to Terry and he was upset that the car had to do so many laps for the photographer LOL

Was a great site though :(

I say BAN BOZMMAN. Sif work for wheels should be a deterrent.

If it were the uk the club may well have recieved an invite to such an event,

its a pity Nissan are so embarrased by their years of neglect toward the Australian skyline community they hide their shame by shit canning us.

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      High pedals r32

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
