As much as I love the BR86, I will always love the GTR even more, especially the R32

ps: that's a pretty good time for a 2litre 4 yeah ?

yeah its a great time around there! the track is setup for high powered cars, that get to make use of the long straight, the 86 really makes up ground on the back section where the cars chassis and suspension tuning really start to work.

Without the S/C times would up in the hi 1:50's i reckon.

I really don't know why so many people love the GTR, there is so many other cars I would rather have before it, Most of them slower too!

Maybe it's cause I live in the northern subs of Melbourne where Skylines are just as common as VN commo's with stockies on the rear.

Think Skaifeys Godzilla & what they did to the motor racing scene in this country

Fred Gibson brought into this country not only a giant killer but also variety with technology unseen in a racing car - I love that.

They divided a country!
Win should have gone to Johnson and Bowe :p

Pretty sure that was the last year I was interested in the 1000..

thread hijack but . . . .

The GTR was killing them all day & when it rained they romped further away like a rabbit. The race was black flagged well before the massive downpour & that subsequent stack out of forrest elbow which Jimmy eventually found.

Now I'm a big fan of tricky ****ie & Bowie but seriously why would you award 1st place to a car which never led the race whilst it was running ?

back to @HarropOz car . . . Andy can you not do a more palatable price on the lovely kit you guys sell ?

Yep Nissan was king in 91 + 92.

Essentially I don't really need the TVS & 8.8K is lot of moula for an always depreciating asset but if the $$ were right I may be swayed . . . yeah I would get you to do the lot, drive-in drive-out.

Blasphemy! everyone needs the TVS1320!!!



Please send me an email if your keen on an installation, there's a few questions i need to ask in regards to your car.

Also i would consider doing group rates if there were a few of you keen on installing the S/C kit.

I am so keen to get this.. But starting a new business at the moment, so it's either stock, or supercharger.. hopefully the business will do well and pay for the supercharger!
