Jim, I'd forgotten how good the Nissan HR31s sounded until I saw a couple of them racing at the Muscle Car Masters about 5 years ago. Brought back a lot of memories. Like you say, the earlier 4-cylinder Skylines just didn't compare.

So what happened to that spare Longhurst RS500? Did he ever race it?

And what happened to Murray Carters RS500? he drove that car for a few years.

Longhursts spare was raced by him the following year, I think Alan Jones? might have piloted the old car at Bathurst in 89

Dont know what happened to Carter's Sierra, but do I have a couple of pics of his road going Sierra


Here is a pic I took of Larry Perkins immaculate VL at Oran Park in 88, this car was eventually converted to TWR spec and was the seconf Perkins car at Sandown and the not raced spare at Bathurst that year. It was to be raced in 87 at Bathurst but Larry was so pleased with the VK he ran that instead, until Chrighton punted him into the wall



The rather spartan cockpit of Larry's VL, only the bare bones necessities with Larry
