History
Built originally as a fast road spec vehicle I prepared it for Tarmac Rallying in 2001 and ran in 5 Classic Adelaide’s and Marque Sportscar Sprint events in Victoria.
After 2 major component failures at speed in Classic Adelaide’s in 2003 and 2007 requiring a replacement chassis the first time and most body panels the second time, I retired the 6 from competition.
After a couple of years of guilt for crashing it and not being prepared to look at the damge I had done and was lucky to walk away from, I finally rebuilt the vehicle to fast road spec and enjoy it now for a spirited run through the hills on club runs and slow weekends.
Despite the fact that my 6 still carries a CAMS Log Book for Group N class, i do not ever plan on competing in it again - she is too special for that and i dont think i could face another re-build.
I was fortunate to be selected to take part in the TSOA - Vic, F1 Driver Parade and drew David Coulthard in his last race in F1 in Australia - he loved it and kept telling me to go faster all the way round the Albert Park track.
Modifications
Extensive head work with oversize valves and heavier springs, porting and polishing, custom made ceramic coated extractors, dual exhausts right the way through to the rear, fast road cam spec, uprated lucas metering unit, willwood drilled and ventilated front disks with dual pistons and oversize calipers (green stuff pads), uprated rear drums, close ratio gearbox (Dolomite Sprint clusters), Nissan rear half shafts, balanced tailshaft with oversize uni joints, entire body shell is seam-welded throughout, chassis is strengthened with extra brace-points at all of the traditional fail points, custom roll bar, Willans 4 point harnesses, external oil cooler and spin on filter, Panasport Magnesium Wheels.......and i cant remember the rest, but there was plenty to spend money on.
