nzduck should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Gents I think you will find that this series also allowed cars to run under the previous Benson and Hedges Series rules which were something like Group 1+ but only allowing NZ assembled cars over 2000cc.

There was no Group E in NZ as this was an Australian Class. There were a few Group E type cars from the early 90's that ran here in later Nissan Mobil series that complied to the Australian Rules like Mal Rose's homologation special 6 cylinder Falcon that Australian members would know more about.

For most years the Nissan Mobil races had very open eligibility to encourage as many entries as possible for the promoter! Strict Group A eligibility only applied to those years where it was part of a championship. The same applied to the support races with large fields of anything particularly in later years to try and increase the number of entry fees! Everything from HQ Holdens to rallycars were welcome.
