Went to the Willowbank dragstrip " test and tune " last night . Just over 2 yrs since any motorsport , good to get out and have a bit of fun . It was the 1st time blue wagon had been on a dragstrip , but its bonnet and grill was on red wagon at the salt on 2006 . Pic of wagon as it ran last night .
Did a 15.2 @ 90mph............ QUICKER than the H.H.H. purpose built racecar( Hadfield Humber Hambster ) , hey wot ya reckon , some car these Nissans hehehe !!! :lol: .

Works for me Don,

I'm assuming 30 = 3L and 25 = 2.5L hence the head swap or is there something else different between the bottom ends??

Enquiring minds and all that.

Cheers,
Rob
