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.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
