GTB min of 3.7Kg/Hp

GTC min of 4.7Kg/Hp

40 minute mini enduro races with mandarory pits stop of driver change or refuel.

Performance box data recorder for checking power out put.

open to all but GT1 cars, but sportsedans i have arrange to slip under the radar and can be used LOL

ohh i ample BB, have you been peeking in the showers again !

I have options i suppose.

Sad old R32 wide body Skyline RB26/30 running the GPC class.

S1 Lotus exige with K20 Honda conversion in GPB class. Being built as we speak.

S1 Lotus exige with turbo honda conversion in GPA class.

Or Sportsedan with F3$% off V8 engine, clunky old 4 speed gearbox and a quickchange diff

Just for interest we are going to develop this body kit a bit more so its sits lower to the surface and flat bottom the old car. Also ordered or going to as soon as i work out what the difference in oil picks up are, a RIPS RB26/30 bottom end and a stocko too.

Seems the garage these days is knocking out body kits for lots of different cars you should see the EVO currently under development. Might be able to find a link to show you

Support race i dont think that would be a possiblity. But they are talking about getting our cars down there before the F1 to give the circuit a pounding to see if there are any issues before the F1 race Snowy.

At this point there is talk of hold some of our race meeting there but thats yet to be confirmed.

Sad sad day!

Seems that the skyline will be commited to trackdays from here on it. I just cant see a way i could get it to compete with what is on the way for our next race season. The heat here just kills the FI cars. Dont think i could bring myself to sell it but will cross that bridge if and when. Will put it online and see if some one is keen enough to campain it again.

Not sure if i will be allowed back on the site but my business partner and i have ( tomorrow ) purchased a GT3 viper to race in the GTA class and the Lotus exige ( with K20 honda conversion ) for the endurance racing and GTB class if we feel like doing 45 minutes each.

very sorry to hear that, you've probably done more races in a skyline than anyone on here. but in the end racing's about competing, there is no reason to run around on your own at the back :D

the viper and exige will be a real step up, more reliable, and probably cheaper over time

Hey Duncan,

Had a change of heart we are rebuilding the engine for the old girl as i got her apart last weekend on a 2 day trip backto dubai from Joburg.....was only 47 degrees and pulling a rb26 out of a GTR i need medical help i reckon.

Anyway i am going to finish what i started and get engine back together, needs crank rods etc etc. Then fit the wide body kit and then let the engine tuner run it in the GTC class, which seems we can get the old girl down to that power to weight. Had some thoughts on a new look for the oldgirl. Yes the viper will be on a different plant but i think the skyline will always be a favorite, and not just me i have lots of people telling me i have to run it again LOL quite clearly thesepeople dont know what it takes to keep a GTR running

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
