Anyone recognize this 80?

Ebag333 · 07-28-08, 10:36 AM

Friend of mine sent me these pics, was wondering if anyone recognized them.

Yeah, I know. Not the 'typical' 80 on here.

What's that grey, pavement looking material under his tires????

Interesting story behind that one I bet.

I thought maybe he was crossing it to get to the dirt on the other side.

I was quite suprised to see it. I thought my leg was being pulled when he told me he saw an 80 doing autocross.....

The post where he got the pics:

Corner-Carvers Forums - View Single Post - New Infiniti Skyline GTR

Hmm. Only 17 seconds off pace? Not bad.

Some people just make me wonder. To each his own, but isnt there a vehicle out there that weighs I dunno 3K lbs + less to start with? Hey at least its 4wd.

check out the plates, looks like a Queensland plate.

shots from oran park (west of sydney), could be any one of a million crazy aussies.

i'll keep an eay out for a white 80, there are so few of them here

(wait... there is one in my driveway

)

So who won the race? Do you know what time you can do the 1/4 mile in your 80?

NLXTACY · 07-28-08, 07:33 PM

Can't you see from the bottom pic, he gave them an 1/8 mile head start

Yeah, but how many crazy Aussie's are there that autocross an 80?

I thought the front bumper was interesting, with the cut outs for what looks like two additional coolers. Not very rock crawling (or even driving) friendly, but I suppose it'd help with some of the cooling issues folks have....

Seems just as perfectly sane as building up a Prelude to cross the 'Con
