Would be if I was still in Auckland. If you have 8-16 yr old kids it's a fantastic day out, especially if you bring a long a few of their friends too. Cheap trip to a proper motorsport experience with drifting too

I used to own a car with a factory RB30, went real well, but it wasn't a Nissan.

Holden? Yep, VL Calais. In some ways I wish I still had it. Non turbo, but then the turbo only added about 35 kw, but a really sweet, slky smooth engine. Good for a lot more power. Is was a big step up from the old 3.3 and hard to believe it's 220 kw less than my current car.

I remember taking my A6600 to a track day or maybe a 2K Cup race and using the burst function for the first time in anger. So, so many images to sort through

Think we all wish we had kept our old cars ;) My first car was a Datsun 1200 coupe. All original etc, would've been a neat project car.... but I wasn't into cars back then so didn't think much about it :)

Pretty sure if I still had it now, it may have changed engine and wheels ;)

Nice pics!

Is that white R32 GT-R N1 stock? I'm guessing it would be worth a bit if it is!

Were there many R34's? There's a few on TradeMe asking serious money at the moment

Yeah I looked through the pictures and didn't notice any R34s. They were a bit of ugly duckling. I'm not sure why so few came to NZ compared to the 32/33. Maybe there were fewer R34 variations to begin with?

Was actually very few R34's, was like that a couple years ago too. Was primarily R32/R35's with a few 33's thrown in.

The 34's that were there though, were very nice.
