Not banned though. Group A class was binned worldwide due to spiralling costs and regions went their own way resulting in V8SC and the less successful Super Tourers here so no class to race a GTR.

"spiralling costs" that makes me laugh,seing how im pretty sure its like $150k just for an engine now and the cars cost like a 1mil each. correct me if im wrong. i think for the reason it is still only v8s in 2007 .not cost but its all about marketing the aussie product. which is fine but everytime i walk past a hsv shp or im in target or kmart e.t.c. the only motoracing merchandise they sell is v8 bloody supercars! and they are still running 5 litre donks??/ my old man used to take me to see the sierras ,skylines rx7s back when it was group a and it was a lot more entertaining than watching a v8 ford or a v8 holden boring.....my 2 cents

yeah, i remember watching the tapes of grp a.

so entertaining! loved every minute of it!

i can barely sit through a few minutes of a V8SC round before i get bored and go do something else. like sleep.

the 2 horse race thing is getting really, really old.

carl that's just the result of rule changes and a strong economy. It was initially relatively cheap.

I personally would love to see more makes, so that is why i watch speedweek and plan on getting to more rounds of different race series. Without investment and patronage the others stay small while V8s are still seen by the dumbarse general population as the only game in town.

the main reason the dumbasses follow the v's is because they think holden and falcon are australian (cough cough)

funny how they all use american design motor (chev) or canadian design motor (ford)

so much for being an aussie car lol

Could always pull this right off topic and discuss how they both have Ford diffs etc.....

No I'd like to see a return to using basically showroom (not "homologated") components for engine, gearbox and running gear with brakes, ecu and suspension relatively free but must use original mounting points.

im gunna be a bogan and echo some crap :unsure:

Yeah '92 was the last year of the GTRs, not because they were winning (lol) but because it was also the last year of the group As.

Bit of controversy over the win tho in '92. With a shagged car winning. And one thing i love to point out to holden fans... Skaify drove and won bathursts in a nissan lol

If your real keen there were some vids on here a while ago of the 91 and 92 bathursts with the gtrs. you could have a look and see if they are still up. or i could send them to you for a small fee to cover postage n shiz :huh:

iagree the days of the gtho and monaro and gtr torries were awesome

they even had volvo's racing back then

the old days of drive to the track ... race ... and then drive it home if it was still going

win on sunday sell on monday has no meaning with tthe way the v8's are run these days

Well the rear ends in the V8's are only very tenuously linked to the Ford 9" diff. There has been (Like every component in the cars) an awful lot of engineering put into them. If you take a look at the detail work of the diffs in the car you can see why Ron Harrop & the like earn their money.

There are plenty of showroom series out there. Unfortunately the history of showroom class racing is a litany of cheating when done at the top level.

Simple, every car can be sold after every race in a lottery of people who want the car for the RRP.

Do they have the full race though?

A single race should be the full length of the dvd.

I've got one where they have squeezed 3 on to one disk and basically it sucks. They have chopped out that much its not funny. I've got 3 full 1990-1992 vids BUT they are poorish quality (DivX 320x240 vhs copy), none the less they still look ok on a 68cm tv, computer screen they look horrid.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
