Mmmm interesting points there, random facts but interesting nonetheless! Ill have a check in my manual to see if any of those figures are different - 3 months different in the build...unlikely i guess. I do notice the front heaviness quite often through fast corners, you really have to stomp it to send the tail wayward! Oh and judging by friends' cries for mercy when sitting in the rear of my car, i reckon the legroom could be identical! -
Yeah, the mazdas were on the tip of my toungue too! There arent any more that i can think of, either, but i think this picture was posted too long ago now for people to take notice of the question posed....ah well, cheers for your comment -
Great pic! -
Wow, great job, very smoothly done. -
Yeah its the same hey, apart from the emblem. -
Dunno, could have been one of the 4cyl models of gc10/110? -
Yeah its quite similar hey, on my wheel [ill send pics soon], ive got a sorta vynil grip over the wood. I thought its real though, seriously the grain looks quite convincing. I know the 240z wheel is def. faux wood, but this one appears to be authentic. In any case it is in fantastic condition underneath due to the cover. Perhaps yours was shipped with a plastic one? -
God! Can you get any quicker, Alan, fantastic! How was it on the track? -
Yup, with the hideos aero mods...ugh -
Jeez thats one hell of a grass cutter, how would you get over kurbs? Hydro-pneumatic suspension i imagine, citroen style?

Wow, a great depth of reply there from all, thats great! Personally, i had always thought that as the skyline had much more development behind it [raced for a longer period i thought], it would be the more honed track tool, however, in light of your fantastic comments alan, it would definetely be closer than i thought. To address your first point though, Alan, im aware that nissan produced the five s20 powered models that you mentioned, however, i mentioned only the two most refined in terms of racing ability, of both z and skyline derivatives [the kpgc110 was never raced obviously so as far as racing in works trim goes we'll never know]. Having read over what i said now, i worded it quite poorly but hey, now you know. I find the facts that you mentioned fascinating, though. Like eric i would like to know more about these LR24 motors that you mentioned - i know the kpgc10's were up against porsches in some instances, so as eric alluded, purpose built racecars would have been the next level up in the food chain for lr24 powered z432r's. What sort of power did these motors make, and how hard did they rev? In any case, once again thanks for your absoloute wealth of information! Tom

After posting an image earlier it got me thinking, and im not sure if this question has been asked before but... Of the two S20 powered models nissan released, which was the better track tool, the KPGC10 skyline, or the Z432R? Now i know the skyline was and still is more extensively raced [plainly due to a greater numberr produced], but the zed was always built as a 'sports car,' based on the average, unspecific definition. Whereas the GTR, was a hardcore refinement of a sports-saloon... I know which car id back in a race. (= Hope to hear peoples opinions on the matter, Tom

nice lineup of 60's/70's classics - notice the skyline has qualified ahead of the zed!...just to fire people up

Yeah, ive actually been scouring the net for a closeup! If you can find some decent pics id love to see some... -
Yeah, can anyone say 'wheelarch extensions!' -
Hey, that is interesting - i wonder why? I recall just from a glance that my build plate quoted the curb weight of my car as roughly 1100kgs, quite light by todays standards - does yours reflect that 10kg difference? I wonder if the sedan was the better handler of the two? neither were works raced, so the best is a mystery really...

Thanks Alan, Lachlan, a wealth of knowledge coming from everywhere! A neighbor of only a few streets away has one i think, and its not in an un-salvageable condition - it looks like one of those single-owner cars [that we all look out for], as the old man that drives it, im told, has been in it for years. The ancestor to the gemini!? What happened to the sinuous styling, id take the bellet any day... I was thinking about this situation, the other day, that australia is a damn lucky country. We were the only market in the world [as i believe - correct me..?] that recieved the s54 skyline, and one of the lucky ones that got the c110. It sounds like a similar case with the bellet, im interested to know if there are any others of significance? Cheers, Tom
