1980 SUPASHIRUETTORESU enthusiasm early on, as we reported previously. This was the center of the popular focus on three of the Legion of turbo turbo Nissan Silvia.

Nissan started the FIA Group 5 SUPASHIRUETTORESU pursuant to the war, 79 years. This is the first year of the war, who drives for turbo Violet Spring Yanagida (A10) has an entry in the table. Similarly the next 80 years, and a turbo Yanagida Violet's race cars have won the championship series beautifully.

1981, Nissan replaced the turbo Violet, Silvia Turbo GAZERUTABO and his two brothers and a single car entry. The car body, white and yellow lines, Hoshino Kazuyoshi the turbo Silvia. The silver-based car body color, Yanagida GAZERUTABO of spring. These units are basically the same machine can be considered at all. But often the picture on the right, in front GAZERUTABO is equipped with a large rear wing. Meanwhile, Sylvia's Hoshino Turbo rear wing is not. The vertical fin is attached to the front spoiler instead. Engineers at the time, Hiroshi Oka (Department's race technology), "It is aimed at improving the aero parts, in fact, each team was by trial and error based on their expertise," he said. In other words, the difference between the two units were the differences of each team. Such trial and error is fine, it was repeated in every game like it was one of this race is certainly attractive.

In fact, 81 years SUPASHIRUETTOKA specifications, PAIPUFUREMUSHASHI yet. The initial GT car as it was modified to increase the production car body. This year, Sylvia was in the hands of DEBYUUIN Hoshino. Then, Yanagida GAZERU of their two wins, was started by the legendary Super Silhouette aero body punch.

1982, Nissan will be SUPASHIRUETTOKA. In addition to the Turbo Silvia Hoshino, Yanagida BURUBADOTABO change, the addition of a new turbo Skyline Hasemi Masahiro. 3 The appearance of this corps of turbo Nissan cars SUPASHIRUETTOKARESU is popular, it's accelerating even more.

The greater the change machine was in full swing PAIPUFUREMUSHASHI. According to Oka, the "Super Silhouette, now the front is almost unthinkable

Inter had been fitted with a giant cooler. After all, there is no radiator in the yard, I have SAIDORAJIETA system. At that time, I SAIDORAJIETA machine, not even the world, if you want now, and I had built quite a sophisticated machine, "recalled. However, the low stiffness of PAIPUFUREMUSHASHI, each team will be plagued by understeer.

1983, Nissan is the same team last year in the face of car racing. Mid-season this year, the car Silvia S12-S110 from the type of FURUMODERUCHENJI. As a result, the Turbo Silvia Hoshino, four corners of the eyes from light-S110, S12 RITORAKUTABURURAITO BODIKAURU has changed the image of the type. And with this year, Fuji GC SUPASHIRUETTOKARESU series ended.

1984, Sugao, West, SUPASHIRUETTOKARESU held by each of the Tsukuba race circuit, which drives entry Hoshino and Sylvia were last year.

Silvia turbo, the car was involved in most long SUPASHIRUETTORESU Nissan Turbo Legion, 81 years from 84 years in the four years of active racing driver, and that color did not change. White lightning yellow stripes on the body, the image of the Hoshino Kazuyoshi drivers as people植E付KETA a spectacular impression. And Hoshino from this era, was the man who ran the fastest way to Japan.
