G'day,

Can someone tell me what racing history the GTRs have? I know they dominated 'Group A' and JGTC but what years, what races and what freakin year model etc were winners? What year model and what type of GTR was Dirk Schoymans lap time winners R33 and R34? As much info about this stuff will put my mind at rest,

Ta, KG

I believe there was a production car championship in about 1990 or 91 in Japan, an R32 GTR won all 29 races in that series.

The GTR was built to win races, it was designed to be better than anything available at the time, which is why it did so well. Today they have a bit more competition, which I guess is why they don't seem so dominant anymore.

it comes down to the level of development that has gone into that 34 GTR

On one side, the v8 supercars are limited by their class

(eg limited to 5 litres, RWD, Live Axle)

but on the other side, it would take a hell of a R34 GTR to beat one of the quicker Supercars around a circuit.

in the end, the two cars are not in the same class so the question is irrelevant

Thanks for that fellas. As far as the R34 goes does anyone know what year and model Dirk did that lap time at Nurbergring? Has that Blue R34 from the Calsonic team won any championship series? I've seen it all over the place but haven't seen too many wins? Its good to know who won what as I'm sure the competition would like people to forget how dominating the GTR has been. GTR - The killer of Group A!

I think a few years back a JGTC supra was in OZ lapping phillip island and was doing times about 8 seconds faster the V8 supercars. I know there big differents between V8 supercars and JGTC car but just though it in food for thought.

Although, the Supra would probably have been running a 3UZ V8 in it :D as opposed to the 2JZ-TT & thats where the similarity ends. You'll find the most significant differences & advantages of the Super GT cars over the Super V8s is their Formula 1 like suspension setups & tires.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
