One car we really wanted to do a full feature on last season but didn’t quite get to is this one, Connor’s Nardo Grey HZ One Tonner which regularly raced throughout the 2020/21 Outlaw Radial Season at the Perth Motorplex.

If you’ve been watching the channel for a while this ute is probably familiar to you as you would have seen it in action before, but what’s now under the hood is different to what you are used to seeing! The LSA Blower combo has been stepped up some – Now you will find a pair of Precision Journal Bearing Turbo’s in it’s place, courtesy of Lundy Race Fabrication. The rear end has also had a birthday with Black Magic literally working thier magic on a whole bunch of trick custom upgrades to make sure this car can get all that power down and some!

Power Management is taken care of by the Holley EFI Master – Jeff Johnson, going through the motions and slowly creeping up on the power each time after checking over the data.

We’ll make sure to jump in this at the first available opporutnity as soon as it hits the track, we suspect it’s going to be a little more spicy than the last time we watched it run laps.

In the meantime we hope you enjoy the sights and sounds of the Tonner on the WA Racing Developments Mainline Pro Hub Dyno as it slowly gets turned up!

Everytime we have seen this car come out it never fails to deliver in the excitement department, it’s an epic combo and those huge wheelstands make for awesome video and stills!

We would have been more than happy to leave with an awesome video of another massive wheelstand and a clean A-B Pass , instead things very quickly went south with the car getting out of the groove and rapidly coming back around – what happened next you will have to watch and see, but it’s never a great thing to see anyone come unstuck during the pass!

Can’t wait to see the car back again, Black Magic Racecars have been putting in the hours to get the car to become a little more controlled and get down quicker than ever – It definitely looks like it has more in it so we hope to be able to see just how much again very soon!

At the June race meet held at Wanneroo Raceway a couple of weeks ago, we grabbed as many spare cameras as we had and loaded Nick’s car up!

Nick at only 21, started out in karting at just 7 years of age! He transitioned over to cars at the age of 14 and already has racked up an impressive racing career comprising of 2 Years Excel 2015 State Champ, 2 Years Formula Ford and 4 years ago moved into racing the BMW in which he has already taken out the IPC Outright State Champion back in in 2019.

He is awesome to watch in his office, and he is looked up to by many other younger racers which he coaches and mentors.

For only 3.2L of Straight Six BMW Naturally Aspirated M Power up front, this car moves out!

The onboard Motec tuned by Mike (WA Racing Developments) handles the engine vitals and datalogging and gives Nick the information in real time he needs to get the most out of the car.

The genuine M3 is definitely is strong competition for the other bigger and more powerful cars out on the track, with Nick able to outbrake and outcorner his competitors on more than one occasion.

Turn the volume up and listen to this symphony of the BMW powerplant coupled with the unreal sounds of the Samsonas 6 Speed Dog Box!

Build Specs:

Car Year/Model – 1996 E36 M3
Engine – S54 3.2 Litre, All Stock
Fuel – E85
Gearbox/Driveline – 6 Speed Samsonas Dog box
Diff – Kaaz
ECU – Motec M130 PDM 15
Wheels and Tires – Koya Racing Wheels with AO 50 Tyres

Suspension – BC Coilovers
Power – 322HP (E85)
Tuned by – Mike (WA Racing Developments)
Personal Best Track Time – 1.01.5
