That is awesome! These guys both worked at Nissan at the time and were pretty sure they were gone! I'll let one of the dudes know next time I see him! He's got heaps of private pics of the Bluebird and Exa but isn't willing to share them unfortunately.

Cool, good luck with it, theres an absolute crap load of work done to the exa, especially underneath. im involved with the Nissan Historic Race teams. Boss has the #30 DR30 skyline. I know the owner of the Exa and have plenty of pictures of it, infact i have put them up here once before.

yeah its pretty intense, as i said, not too sure how close im going to go with it in regards to exact specifications (brakes and suspension etc), but definately body work, wheels and running gear. i am also going to adapt a coilover to the rear end hopefully.

duuuuuuuude i got shit loads of pictures of it that i've taken myself. Underneath it, showing all the rose jointed sway bars, the rear coilovers, the engine/turbo/intake/interior/fuel tank etc etc.
