Why this chassis?
It’s just cool. S14s are dumb [laughs]. I’ve always liked the
Skyline. The Silvias obviously handle a lot better, and I liked
the way the S14 handled, but this car is quite cool, and it has
sentimental value — I sold it and bought it back because I didn’t
want the other guy to drive it, basically.And the running gear?
Reliability. I’ve been using the 2JZ for years, and it makes
big power.What are your intentions with
the car?
For me to get a bit of seat time before D1 Pro next year. We’re
building another car that’s going to be really, really hectic —
like real hectic, Carl Thompson sort of spec. We’ve got a good
team around us that’s allowing that to happen. I’m very lucky
with that.ENGINE: Toyota 2JZ-GTE, 2997cc, straight-six; CP forged pistons, Eagle rods, upgraded wrist pins,
