it was my 2nd fastest time of day too!

converted,
the paint job is inspired by the American BRE 1600's and Z cars that were raced in SCCA in the 70's. there are a number of differences here and there, but that's obviously what I copied and adapted to my 1200. So, as I copied it anyway I can't really object to you doing the same, can I! I only recently learnt there was a BRE 1200 coupe too, when it's current owner posted a couple of pics in the club Album - have a bit of a dig around for them...

I just had the paperwork done for an IPRA logbook on my coupe on the weekend, but the chances of us being on the track together are pretty slim I guess as you're in Victoria (I think?) Maybe the odd nationals event, if either of us ever enter them.
Apart from Steve, I was the first to get the flares etc, obviously alot of people will end up with them, but the paintjob is the thing that I think really sets my car apart... Personally, I'd prefer if you didn't copy it directly as I like the individuality, and the car has built up a bit of a reputation locally for this kind of thing, with mentions in Sports Car and Racer magazine, some of the weekly motorsport papers, and whatever. But like I said, I copied it anyway...

BRE also had an 'alternate' colour scheme. They ran 2 car teams, one like this and one which was blue top with red side stripes. I actually prefer that scheme (especially on the Z cars!), but my car was already red...

You should be able to find some more pics of real BRE cars on the 'net too for more ideas, or what they 'should' look like. Try some of the american 1600 sites for starters.

This site has several examples. On the lower left side is Desktop Photos. There is a picture of the #46 red top and #85 blue top 510's.

Always thought about doing my 1600 in the "blue #85" scheme...

The real #85 doing laps with the #46 car...

Hey, that's the FJ510 that sold for $20K to Adam Carolla. The previous owner paid Les at Classic Datsun Motorsports to do all the work.

BTW, #85 was recently restored for ~$100K.

B110,

Everytime I see pictures of your car the thing is sideways! Does it have a wheel alignment problem are you just showing off!

The car looks awesome man.... One of the best presented cars on the track.

Great shot!
All looks pretty much under control too....
