Can you help?  The car picture here is the Nova Engineering "From-A" Nissan R91CK (chassis HU 07) that raced at the 1992 Daytona 24.  Note this car was incorrectly indicated as a R91CP on the '92 Daytona entry list (a mistake apparently perpetuated by the team).  While the R91CP was a highly developed variation of the Nissan-Lola Group C chassis designed by NISMO and Yoshi Suzuka (car #23, a Nissan R91CP, went on to win at Daytona in 1992), the R91CK was simply a mildly modified R90CK.  The From-A Nissan R91CK went on to finish 8th overall while fraught with a myriad of problems.  Charlie Agg currently races this exact chassis in HSR (though in a later bodywork specification) but I am primarily interested in it as it raced at Daytona '92.
 

I'm attempting to find out as much information about this chassis as possible as it is a personal favorite of mine.  For starters, if anyone has built the 1/24 scale Studio 27 kit of this car please contact me.  I'm interested in drawings of the car and I believe those contained within the Studio 27 kit would be of use as I convert my 1/24 scale Tamiya Nissan R89C to "From-A" Nissan R91CK.  Secondly, if you have any photographs taken of this car from the 1992 Daytona 24 please send them to me.  I'm not interested in the car in its current HSR configuration so please don't send me those images.  Also, I've done the Google search and grabbed what I could from there so don't send me those either!

Thanks very much for your help.

Mike
