From what I can ascertain Nissan had two works teams running the cars, the Z432-R and then the 240ZR. Does anybody have any more details on the Omori and Oppama factory race teams and what cars they ran.

So if you had the chance to ask Bob Sharp just one question what would it be?

Season finale for SCCA club racers is on now from Sonoma. An assortment of Nissans present, although it seems like a lighter representation than recent years. One 240 in EP, and Troy Ermish is on the pole in his other 510 for GTL, scheduled to stream at 10:40 today (Friday). https://www.scca.com/pages/runoffs-live-video?layout=iframe https://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.status/uidEvent/26481891-F942-BE1A-75C69D4C97450DCA https://www.scca.com/events/1990668-2018-scca-runoffs#comment_2443223

I was going through my HRP catalog and noticed a really wild looking GT2 280Z that I've never seen before. From the photo it looks like it could be a pretty competetive car. I did a google search and couldn't come up with anything. Does anyone else have info? EDIT: I also forgot to add, there's some really cool non-z cars here
