Finally got round to ripping this to a video small enough to put on the net.
First video is standard looking et's racing
Second video has a few quick shots of the racing decal'd ET's rolling over.

about Gibson Motorsports' Exas they had. Due to a typo on the homologation papers they got to run a T03!!!! Running them at about 1.5bar from memory they made 330hp or something obscene.

OMFG.. how easy is it to roll an N12..!!!!!!!

i reckon my EXA sits flatter than most of those cars too.. be interested to see what they use as a rear suspension setup..

Yup, they seemed to roll over easy hey??

The info I found out from a work colleague, who used to work for Nissan, is that those ET's were dead stock standard, with a roll-cage, harness. Also, there may have been some avgas make its way in to a select few vehicles.

Sweet sweet AVGAS.

Apparently, the one-make race series was designed to win over peoples doubts about the reliability and toughness of 'imported' vehicles. If they only knew what people would be doing to them now! (Bjorn!)

That's great footage, thanks for that.

haha those are awesome!

Great videos, especially where they all go sliding syncronized into that first corner. The front corner was almost scraping the ground.

Good stuff dude! any more?

*wipes tears* that was friggen hilarious. Yes that would be stock suspension. Mind you i have king springs and whiteline swaybars and the body roll is still terrible (see my car racing on www.n12turbo.com)
