Re: Nissan 300ZX Turbo GTP
Miguel - was that all scratch built or was it a resin kit?? I saw one of these built a while ago on eBay finished for sale - John
I remember seeing Geof Brabham racing it - here in GTP USA - John |

This is a 1/24th scale Studio 27 kit. The body has been modified at the lower rocker and the wheels were replaced with ones that have been made via SLA and then had resin copies made. This car is ment to depict the second ever win by the Electromotive/Nissan team and the first win with John Morton behind the wheel. It was also the only time the car ever ran with the number 3. The event was the IMSA Road Atlanta 500K in October 1988. |

Thanks for the history lesson icon - but the name on the kit doesn't look like John Morton - even if he did drive the number 3 car at Road Atlanta in October of 1988 - crimy some sticklers - we all know of John morton since the BRE datsun days and yes he drove some for the Electromotive team but I believe the winningest driver of the car (300ZX GTP) was Geoff Brabham at the time - didn't he win a championship????? - mmmmmmm - John |

Re: Nissan 300ZX Turbo GTP
The name(s) on this car read "Brabham Morton" on both sides above the side windows.

Re: Nissan 300ZX Turbo GTP
Great job on one of the most dominant cars in IMSA during the GTP era. These things were incredibly fast. Nice job on the wheels, I forgot that they ran those the first couple of seasons before switching to BBS.

Nice looking car.
I don't think I've actually seen this one built before. |
