There’s not too many automotive lifestyle events that can lay claim to a 22-year old lifespan, let alone feature world-class performance standards, industry innovation and a healthy undercurrent of still- emerging machinery from the garages of many. However each time Jamboree rolls around at Willowbank Raceway in September, a virtual snapshot is taken of how the hi-tech car culture is faring in today’s ever-changing entertainment appetite. And judging by the class of 2012, there’s still life left in the concept.

Scott Porter's rookie status changed at the Sydney Jamboree, with the Queenslander going from running high sixes to uncorking an unbelievable 6.48/216 pass, making his Factory Xtreme VQ35 dett-powered Nissan Infinity the quickest and fastest Nissan in the universe. This shot was heard right around the world in pretty quick time, and shows that now the Nissan V6 is more than a match for the Toyota 2JZ and the 20B triple rotors.
