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.

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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
