The Owners Club

[Fuggles]

The GTR Owners Club
Is a car club for all Skylines, owners and enthusiasts alike. To date we have members whose cars are as diverse as KPGC-10 to R32/33/34 and 350GTs, as broad as GTS. GTSt, GTV, GTR, GTT and GT. We do not differentiate between one car marque or model and another.

The GTROC is backed by the GTR Register which has the largest number of regular and irregular contributors of any Skyline forum in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition it boasts a very high standard of knowledgeable users and is regarded as a source of information on all matters car-related by people outside the Skyline community. The Register is completely free to join and supports the GTROC in many ways.

The GTROC is the only officially recognised owners club for the Nissan Skyline anywhere in the world. In Japan official recognition is something not yet achieved. Not only does this give us an insight into the future of the Skyline, the GTR and where Nissan is going but it also allows us unprecedented access to a whole part of the Skyline community not normally open to the general public.

Mr Hiroshi Tamura (“Mr. GTR”) is the GTROCs Honorary President - the only club to which he has agreed to take on this prestigious role. In addition we also boast membership from the chairman of Do-Luck and “Smokey” of Top Secret but most importantly to anyone who wants to join – whether they own a Skyline or not – whether it’s a GTR or not.

If you're into track action then remember we are three times Team and Individual Champions of Ten of The Best, and the top cars to date in the Time Attack Club Challenge. Track days are a regular thing, right across the UK and overseas to places like Spa Francorchamps and the Nurburgring, all at discounted rates. But if track days aren’t your thing then remember the Duke drag car, the Nur spec R34 and a whole host of other famous drag cars – all from the GTROC stable.

If you want a social side rather than track action then the GTROC offers everything from pub and social meets, barbecues, driving days, shoot-outs and events such as Japfest, JAE and many more, or the End of year dinner and awards. Not only do we organise or attend these events but we also manage to get discounts to many of them, specially for our members. In addition you can get shirts, baseball caps, coats, umbrellas, race suits, stickers and a whole host of other GTROC goodies besides.

The Official Owners Club also has an unrivalled database of useful information, performance statistics and a huge data vault of all the information you could need – whether an enthusiast, potential owner, new owner or a long time Skyline owner. On top of that we have our very own Library which is packed full of magazines and books on every subject you can think of. Just send an email and the information you want will be posted to you the next day.

Over the years we have built up considerable support from tuning companies and suppliers. So if you want discounted insurance, parts and other services (including air fares to Japan!) and even reduced prices on track days and entrance to shows! Or access to group buys and discounts then the club has all this to offer.

On top of all this our quarterly magazine Sky Lines which is posted out to you free of charge. It boasts 56 pages packed full of information and write ups. Whether you want to know about regulations and changes to the law, tuning and modifying guides, technical information, event write ups, featured cars or what is going on generally. Our magazine Sky Lines tells you everything you need to know, and is free every quarter.

The GTROC costs £45 to join if you’re an owner living in the UK. If you are not in the UK and are an enthusiast then it is less than that – for all the same benefits.

Officially worth it.

Any rough ideas when it'll be possible to make an electronic payment John?

Also, as a previous member, will the same membership number be issued or will a new number be generated? - just thinking of the insurance thing.

Thanks.
