The 1991 Bathurst winning Nissan GT-R made a stunning return to racing at the Muscle Car Masters, taking four wins from four starts in the hands of Carey McMahon.
The #1 Nissan was the class of the Group A & C field during all three five lap heats and the 25 minute feature race.
Another GT-R newcomer, Tony Alford, kept his rival honest in the final, briefly leading the way in the GIO entry after a mistake from McMahon at Turn 7 on lap four.
The order was restored on the front straight three laps later, before McMahon charged away to win by more than 10 seconds.
“We spent so long building the car, there was a lot of expectation on how it would go, both from us and from Gibsons,” McMahon, who spent eight previous years aboard a HR31, told Speedcafe.com.
“It was so reliable and quick straight out of the box, without any set-up tuning at all. I kept it on the black stuff and we managed to take four wins, which is pretty amazing.
“It's great to drive something that was built to be a race car from the ground up, which is the difference between this and what everyone else was in.
“I spent eight years in the HR31, so I'm a long way from mastering this car. There's plenty more in it, that's for sure.”
Anthony Compton's ex-Glenn Seton Racing Ford Sierra completed the podium in the feature race, despite a half-spin at Turn 2.
David Towe's immaculate JPS BMW M3 secured fourth ahead of Norman Mogg (Commdore VL) and Group C class winner Chris Bowden (Mazda RX-7).
Fellow Group C runners Ed Singleton (Commodore VC), George Nittis (Falcon XE), Chris Dubois (RX-7) and Phillip Verwoert (RX-7) completed the top 10.
Bowden had also taken out Saturday's standalone Group C race from Dubois and Singleton.
