campaigning a Skyline GT-R? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Are there any privateers currently campaigning an R32, R33, or R34 in circuit GT racing?

Interestingly, there's a British team, Team Modena, that's campaigning a BMW in the Korean series.

What to do with a Skyline, once you've tuned it up? There's drag of course, and time attacks, but I've always wanted to run in a GT race. There are a couple race series where I could afford to run in (so long as I run the sponsor's Hankook Ventus tires), etc. Prepping the car would be the same as for a dedicated time attack car, and all I'd need on top of that is a heap of spare body parts...and cruising Yahoo Auctions Japan, bumper and fenders for the R32 are easily had for amazingly cheap - I was looking for N1 vents, which would run 27,000 yen a pair - or a complete bumper including the N1 vents sell used for 30,000yen!

Only people i can think of is Ron Kiddel and Darren Bly. They are both running R32's (both cars in the 600-700 range running slicks) in the Dunlop Saloon Car series. Unfortunatly Darren had a fairly big off at the weekend but i'm sure between them they can feed you the info you need, both good and bad.
