Question is how strong were the JTCC M3s and Sierras? I doubt they were near the class of the ATCC/ETCC cars

Oh, no doubt. I'm not arguing with you. It would make an interesting comparison anyway. Oftentimes Japanese race cars, just like Japanese drivers, get amazing reputations for what amounts to being big fish in a small pool.

We need to see these RS500 hand granades out racing again!!!!!......f**k I miss the Group A days......How do we get rid of the V8 Shitbox series?.....isn't 15years enough?....who gives a shit if a Holden beats a Ford or visa versa?.....put some f**king variety into it!!!!!....If the Aussie shitbox's cannot keep up to the rest of the world then so be it.....every car has strengths and weakness', that's what Group A was about!!!!!

P.S. Or are the V8 shitbox's still sore that a Nissan(Datson) kicked the shit out of them???lol :P

just watching an old nissan motorsport clip i've got

Referring to Fred Gibson Motorsport, "Currently the team is exporting the Nissan Hollinger 6 speed gearbox, and other driveline components to Nismo for the Japanese Group A Team"

If anyone watched the race from Winton on the weekend you would have seen the brief highlights from the '85 ATCC race. It was nice to actually see the drivers in the cars. Damn cars nowadays you can't see anything because the poor schmuck behind the wheel is sitting on the floor somewhere behind te B pillar.

What the fark is going on? The only Gibson car that got sold off OS is i hear on a boat back to OZ!!! So the 1991 Bathurst winning car is planned to be making a return. I wonder if the GIO car and 91 car start to run whether Terry will get the 1992 Bathurst car out? I hope not. I would rather see a few more Sierras etc make a return and run with the R31a, i would hate to see the GTRs do to a class of racing what they did in the early 90s :(

Also the Listerine Sierra is im told been purcahsed by an Australian owner

Shit that's scary.....that r32 is a pretty fast car isn't it??? It's one of the first ones so I don't think it has the same weight and turbo restrictions as Terry's and the GIO car.

And your right on the Sierra....I spoke to the guy other night i think....Didn't Daimon Hill dive that car?

P.S. I had better nail the starts and make the car VERY wide for Muscle Car....lol

What i really want to know is does anyone have the history of the Win Percy/Allan Grice R31 that was run in the UK in 88? I have looked everywhere and spoken to lots of people. Short of an acquaintance that speaks with percy from time to time regarding some histpric tarmac stuff....i have no idea on where to start to track down the car. All i know is its a Nismo car out of Japan as opposed to the Gibson cars that always were quickly developed using local gear and know how (LOL, so probably slower)

    • 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  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
