(etc) some of the parts used on this GTR could be considered "stone-age" and it was a record held for a long time.. oh well, comparisons are fun, and yeah. food for thought lol i really wish HKS fixed the car up and try sum other sh*t, ohwell hks retired the car cause they think it is to dangers and the heat treatment car has also been retired (building 350z) and it only beat the hks car buy like .1 of a second and the heat treatment car is full of hks goodys hks are not really into drag at this point of time circuit seems to be the thing but they held the record for a number of years i wish they brang the car back or built a new one and set a new bench mark! and can i ask what is stone age on the hks r33 when people are calling the sammuts car old school that being refured to the mechanical injection the car didnt even have a comp and have we forgot that hks hold the rb record 7.1 in there 180sx not bad for stone age tec Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mmmm love that 180..... gotta love tubs lol

Test I don't really follow many of these threads but I did come across this one accidentally. I thank all those that have made positive comments about my 300ZX. It seems like a lifetime ago that we raced this vehicle and my only regret is that we didn't see its full potential. We only utilised half the ideas we had designed into the vehicle, which, as many have correctly identified, was mechanically fuel injected. Some have said it had nitrous, which it did not as two forms of supercharging were not permitted in our class of racing at that time. Peter S Peter S.

Man I watched you from the grand stand for 3 consecrative winternationals. You were awesome, and second to none for what you did way back then. I saw records fall, Brett Stevens took out fastest Harley in the world one year, you blew Victor Bray away the same day. Just awesome. Done very well..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I know this thread is old but i think it needs to come back alive since ive seen pictures of Rajab's 300zx Wheres the owners and driveline of sammut broz these days???

Just a quick question; is Laurie Sammut one of the Sammut Brothers but any chance? The only reason i ask is because i sent Laurie Sammut my First Year App. Resume to him at Werribee Nissan.

There's some pics of the Sammut car in the '12 Best Turbo Race Cars' feature coming up in the next issue of Zoom. There's also a cover car feature you guys might be interested. It's subtle but see if you can spot it on the cover... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

was the car consistant or did it just do 1 x 7 sec pass?? ive never seen a vid of this car but heard a fair bit about it.. looks pretty tough

i think peter has been very forward with info given out..

Aug 13 2004 Former super stock champions, Peter and John Sammut, have a new Nissan 300 zx being buily by chassis guru Murray Anderson. The Melbournians, who ran many a 7 second pass in DD/Gas, now known as DD/SK, will no doubt be hot on the pace of their designated class. The only three other DD/SK cars in the country are those of Mark Ashford, Bill Mouser and Daniel Camilleri. The Sammut's previous 300 zx (pictured above) took the brothers to multiple Nationals victories, before a horrific crash at Willowbank destroyed the car a few years back.

ill try dig the video up.

would love to see video of this thing if it can be dug up from anywhere. sammut bros were before my time but they are amazing.

I dug this information up from my old website. It was a record of how many events we won at the time and a little about some of the stuff we pioneered in Australia etc etc. Just for some info, nothing more, since some people have asked. Peter 'While Sammut Racing Products has been involved with numerous race teams in all forms of motorsport, it has owned, developed and raced Championship Drag Racing vehicles of its own since inception. Each vehicle has delivered numerous Championship wins and set a range of records. The list of wins are too numerous to list individually, but are summarised below, as are a range of other achievements. Many of the current trends in Australian Championship Drag Racing were pioneered or heavily influenced by the Sammut Racing team, such as the proliferation of on-board data acquisition, speed sensing from fifth wheels, driver to crew radio communication systems, stand-alone digital exhaust temperature indicators, successful use of turbocharged Japanese high-tech engines and the use of Weather Stations for computing air density changes and the subsequent fuel changes required. Another first, that is happening now, is the Australian and world trend to monitor the dynamic output of high powered magneto ignition systems with the Sammut Racing Products Magneto Output Sensor. Under development now is the drag racing combustion pressure analyser. Summary of major achievements by the Sammut Racing Team in Australian National Championship Drag Racing: � Winners of 34 National Open Championship events � Runners Up at 12 National Open Championship events � Winners of 14 Australian Drag Racing Series rounds � 5 Gold �Christmas Trees� � 83% rate of being in Finals for Championship events � 74% win rate when in Finals � 4 times winners of Best Engineered Car � 6 times winners of Best Presented Car and Crew � Holders of 12 Track Records � Holders of 9 National Records � Have been Australian Driver Team of the Year, Victorian Champions numerous times and Australian Champions � First 7 second time in Australia for DD/G � Set National ET and Speed record for DD/G in 1999 and still hold it today'

WOW that pretty much sums it up! i was reading on an american site that a car crash at willowbank ended the 300 ?

Yes that is true. 2001 Winternationals at Willowbank. A racing accident. I was very lucky. Thankfully the car and safety equipment all worked very well in the accident.

can i ask why u havn't gone into building engines etc for the vl's skylines etc building rb30's rb25/30's rb26/30 's etc as u guys clearly have the knowledge for a long time! did u ever see how far u could push the standard internals of the rb30?
