Safely Insured / Driftworks Nissan Skyline R32 updated and overhauled!
November 21, 2012 | George TroutFor the 2013 season, the Safely Insured / Driftworks Skyline R32 has undergone some major changes. The R32 has always been the ‘second car’ in the Driftworks stable and was always over shadowed by the ground breaking Nissan S15. With the S15 now sold, and a new project being built, the R32 has been given some love, and doesn’t it look the part!
Beauty isn’t just skin deep and the’32 now runs a replacement Toyota 1JZ and Syvecs ECU as well as a few tricky new suspension tweaks to make sure it’ll qualify for competitions next season.
The engine was mapped and produced good and safe power figures of 560BHP and 555ft/lbs torque at 1.6 bar of boost. The roll cage is a work of art and also boasts Nascar door bars between the roll cage and the seats for added safely and rigidity.

The Classic Car Show – Sky and the Lamborghini Owners Club
November 19, 2012 | George TroutWe headed to the annual Classic Car Show held at the Birmingham NEC on Friday 16th November with our tickets kindly being provided by our new friends at the Lamborghini Club.

The NEC is in a great central location which makes this annual show one of the, if not the best, classic car shows in the U.K. Read More
