Hello ,yea that was in the good ol days of road racing ,I think they were powered by heavily modified L20 or KA's,there only competition was the RX7!! I think iirc nissan won a couple championships in GTU back to back. PS now thats a real aero package. PEACE

KwKouki · 12-24-2006, 03:45 AM

Waiting for the vicefucks to come in and bitch about how their wheels arent flush enough/not tucking front wheel/lips arent 8 inches wide

zugoi · 12-24-2006, 06:08 AM

coooooooooooool

corey240 · 12-24-2006, 06:20 AM

they still dominate the road racing tracks today....page 28 december modified 06...if you cant read it just save it,open it, and magnify it...

kuramaya · 12-24-2006, 08:25 AM

Dope Pics!

Steve Millen. l Remember when I got the 'Stillen" lip on my Sentra. That shit was dope.

wootwoot · 12-24-2006, 09:05 AM

I want those classes back so bad. We have no good stock body car races in American currently. IMSA needs to open up the rules to allow JGTC cars to compete in LeMans!!

slideways2004 · 12-24-2006, 10:43 AM

what motors did they have in those?

CKAMC · 12-24-2006, 10:44 AM

no coupe love

TurbLu · 12-24-2006, 10:54 AM

Thats because fastbacks are faster...

nevaland9 · 12-24-2006, 10:59 AM

very nice ! i want one

sideview_180sx · 12-24-2006, 04:45 PM

depends on who built them some of the gt3 s14 body 240sx have run motors built by mgre, comptech, robello(those were KAs). Others that are using the s14 look have ran lz24s with mikuni carbs, I see tons of them running L-series. most of those cars ran hewland, saenz, or jericho trannies with quick-change rear ends and full tube frame bodies. Hardly still a 240sx but a marvel of what they did with the motors. So far most of the info I have found about the built KAs have pretty much all stated they were running sohcs.
