Ari at his best. 

 

Pretty sure those are Irish roads, drove a few of those, but not at those speeds. Some great scenery when it's not raining.

Awesome sounds, but whats the go with the tourist coaches ?

 

Tis the Nismo Festival mate - the coaches are filled with paying spectators who want to be on the track with the cars.

It's an interesting concept...

Bus Ride. 2:15 in, you'll spot a Nissan Fairlady 240ZR.

interesting indeed and would not be allowed in Aus

 

I was involved in an event a few years back that included road cars, race cars, drift cars & racing trucks.

Whenever the trucks came out, all cars had to be off the track.

 

Was a fun day, managed to get some hot laps in drift cars (AE86) and a Kenworth (W900) race truck. The trucks are amazing

V8 swap in it isn't my thing, but interesting video none-the-less in terms of the driving force behind classic Japanese cars. It seems with a limited number of cars and strong demand, prices are going to remain high for a while.

PHASE 3 for 500k, when it gets to 470 it waites for internet bets so goes on about nother waiting, then 1 more knock out bid of 500k. Remember the 240z was dearer to buy new and faster.

Wasn't the GTHO the fastest production car in the world at the time? Seem to remember one of the GT Falcons of that era was anyway

Fastest 4 door car in production, they are not really fast in today's terms or in sports cars of the time.

 

142mph 0-60mph 8.4

1/4 mile 14.4

Bathurst lap 2.36.5

Faster than the quoted numbers for a z then, although not much in it
