He is a qualified builder by trade and in his spare time is an avid fisherman.

This gives him more time to spend with his recently welcomed son Connor.

1997 Nissan Silvia S14:
Gaz Whiter’s S14 Silvia was built in the shed at home. It is a new build from the team and is a very basic drift machine designed to do one-off events and demos, while keeping the cost of drifting to a minimum, yet still allowing Gaz to compete should the opportunity present itself.
It has an around 400-500hp V8 engine and runs a Nascar 4-speed gearbox. It has Tein suspension throughout, custom steering arms (for a big steering angle), GTR rear diff and axles, a Wilwood brake system, a 40 litre fuel cell running 100 octane gas, a Link computer, Origin Labo body kit, carbon doors and an Origin Labo bonnet.
