The Grant/Grant Sizzler car from 1990/91/91 has been found alive and well in New Zealand.

It has been bought and should be arriving back in Australia around the end of this month.

The new owner is keen to have it racing at the Oran Park historics on June 1/2/3 where it will join Rod Markland, and Terry Ashwood's Gibson Motorsport HR31's.

It was originally Marks Skaifes 1990 car (chassis #4) but went to Alf Grant racing for the 1990 Bathurst in Sizzler colours.

It was raced on and off over the next 2 years including Bathurst 1991 were it finished 5th outright, with its final outing being Bathurst 1992 were it finished 12th outright.

Another classic Nissan racer back from the grave.

and here it is

thanks to dave31gtsr for the image

3 gibbo coupe's racing @ once!!!!!

boys if you come out to oran park make sure you go up and say hello to rod or terry. it is gonna be awesome.

31GUN or mark will give you the grand tour of the car

he's not hard to miss

100_1302.jpg

hope to see you guys out there

cheers, MARK

couldn't agree more troy

i must say the gibson hr31s dominate their particular race

not sure what hooksy's view is, but Peter Brock's departure last year was a disappointment, in the fact that he had got back into the Historics with a Torana.

he was pushing Terry and Rod to their limits.

but anyway, 4 would be fantastic.

to a 31 loser like me, it's god's cum.

anyway see how we go

troy i will be coming down for any victorian rounds

would be great to catch up for a beer mate

cheers, MARK

yup

poofters

tell ya what, and you're a sierra fan roy, there used to be a sierra racing at the historics at a coupole of eastern creek rounds

poor old nissans struggled to keep up

we need that guy back to keep rod and terry on their toes!

Is that the B&H car? Yeh an ANZ car landed back in the country last year with the intention of also running. There is also the PJ Sierra down here in Vic, but there is no intention to run that car.

Rewind 12 years, if i could pick up a chassis for the same money they were going for back when 2L died and you could get your hand on the M3s, Ellery's converted Sierra etc real cheap. Or hell all those VLs! But they are all big money now, and it looks like the HRT VL will be keeping the Nissan guys honest.

Be interesting if Jim lands a drive that he is chasing...

Grapevine says PJ Sierra is coming back out to play later this year.

Grapevine also says that Vic R31 IS ready, and has been for some time.

Driver got cold feet? Small testicles? Handbag?

:thumbsup:

Which PJ car? There are two to the best of my knowledge. I have met one of the owners as his brother has a very quick R33 GTR that you see around the traps at trackdays. They also did the 2005 Vic Dutton together in the GTR. The other was for sale last i heard.

LOL..as for the Vic R31, its not cold feet, nothing to do with testicle size or women's accessories :) When the owner and car are ready im sure it will be out there. He builds some beautiful cars, its beyond me how he can turn around and go race them ;)

Hehe, the GIO car was at PI on the weekend. My R32 GTSt was quicker the week before :) Its such a great looking car. I understand 100% why the owner may not want to push the thing. Either way it looked great out there and hats off to Gavin for putting it on the track.

    • 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
