The top pic is with the Whiteline adjustable rear swaybar on it's stiffest setting and Azenis RT-615's. The bottom one was purely stock on performance all season tires. The sway bar made a huge difference. Next step will be either stiffer springs/struts or a set of coilovers which should help.
That's incredible that his Starlet is so quick. I just read about the improved production program, sounds like a very fun racing series.
I like the Starlet, but am particularly jealous of your friend's Skyline GT-R. It is possible to get one here, but it takes a lot of work and it costs a lot of money to get it fully legally licensed for the street.

no joke, you can pick up an 1990 r32 gts-t (2L turbo) modded tastefully and in decent condition for about $9000 AUD
