Croydon Wholesalers Nissan Skyline GT-R 8.55 Pass Willowbank

The Croydon Wholesalers Racing Nissan Skyline GT-R- and the world-record setting ET set at the 2003 Jamboree, Willowbank Raceway, Brisbane. This was an 8.55-second ET on street (M/T Street) tyres eclipsing the previous world record for a GT-R. This late-Saturday evening pass was to be our best for the weekend, as part of the Kiwi Challenge 2003 team together with Ronnie Lim's front-wheel-drive Integra. Shaky camera work from me- but you get to feel what it was like to be "down on the line".. Enjoy!

I was standing 3/4 track on this pass and to this day it is the sweetest RB I've ever heard. Period.

Yep, with the exception of the exhaust, still street legal in NZ. Had indicators, lights, wiper, handbrake, etc etc. Wow- what a day this was!

This Skyline was never repainted- you're mistaking it for Glen Sucklings later build GT-R, the Red Baron. The Croydon Skyline still exists, exactly in the condition seen in this video.
