Here are a few of the better vids from the weekend in Armidale.

This was my first outing in the new car so there were plenty of mistakes

but I had lots of fun. My best run of the day was third fastest on one of the tracks,

could have been quicker but was haveing too much fun getting sideways.

Hi Matt,

Did you get any videos of my Silvia running?

Was good to see some other imports out there having a run.

Cheers Brett

Sorry mate no footage of your car but i think my mate with the Z20 may have some.

Also might add the winner of the day was a Honda Prelude......With V tech.. :P

Yeah bit hard to beat front wheel drives, but I know who had the most fun on the day, and it definately wasn't him.

Got the results in the mail today and it turns out i got the best time in the last stage after being asked to town it down.

Funny, that was the most boring run of the day for me, no sideways action at all.

neat and tidy is always quicker than trying to wring its neck wheel spinning.

awesome result...faster than Brett eh?...lol

On that course he was faster than me, but it did suit the GTR, was the only course during the day that was wet, it rained just before the last course, and the silvia is not the best in the wet with 244rwkw and bald road tyres.

Was a great day though and good to see someone out there in a GTR having a go.

BTW I ended up finishing 5th outright and 1st in class. Not too bad considering the power and how much it was on the limiter sideways through out the day. Car was run basically the same as when run at Compak Attak in March, save for different rear tyres.

Now that ive had a taste of what this car has to offer im keen as to get it to a real track. I will be going to wsid next wednesday night and then hopefully to a track day, maybe wakefield park.

Will be good to see what it runs down the strip, what sort of power does it have? Keep us informed as to how you go at WSID.

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
