Default The R34 GT-R N1 that competed in World Challenge

is now available on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=170321184210

The car and all the spares and the spare chassis are in Los Angeles.

By the end of the year '06, we had finally found the engine setup that works at the necessary hp output (about 650hp for the WC GT class), but alas, I ended up going off to Japan for '07 and '08, competing in NISMO 350Z in an endurance series and Formula Renault. Was in a Porsche GT3 RSR recently in GT300.

So my path has taken me away from the U.S. and the beloved GT-R, hence I see the reason to sell it.

In the United States, it would be most appropriate as a Time Attack car, or who knows - WC GT again? I bet SCCA would still love the car.

Wow! Too cool! The Speed World Challenge is great series with some close racing, so hopefully whoever buys the cars decides to keep campaigning it.

With help from a lot of sponsors - being the first GT-R to race in the United States, we really got a lot of collaboration and help - it was very cool.

My thanks go out to:

NISMO, RB Motoring (now RB Motorsports), Buddy Club, Rays Engineering, Brembo, StopTech, Tilton, K&W Autobody, Aero Duo, TC Spoilers, NOS Energy Drink as well as many individuals that helped us in our journey, especially Chip Van Vurst and Hiroshi Tamura.

With the move to Japan, I was able to drop the responsibility of team ownership and focus on work as a driver only.

My main sponsor in Japan for the last two years was "H.I.S." travel agency and this year it's Bomex - I am sure everyone knows Bomex here.
