Just scanned this out of old car magazine, thought it may be of interest to fellow admirers of the Nissan/Gibson cars.

I have a few more I'll post up in the coming weeks.

Apologies for the crappy image joining.

Cheers

the R32 must have been a revelation when it was released in 1989.

it pisses me off when people compare the earlier GTR's to more modern performance cars without realising how revolutionary they must have been at the time of their release.

even when the R33 was released, it was as fast if not faster than the lower end porsches and ferraris of the day (infact there's an old top gear video doing the rounds which compares said cars).

Hi Muz,

Sure is....might be for sale at the moment as well!

Is the collection being broken up? Does Terry still have the cars on display? Haven't spoken to him for ages.

As far as i know the Formula Holden had been de-commissioned as a race car.

Don't know about him completely breaking the collection up, but his R31 the #5 car has been sold to Chris(who also owns the Sizzler Car). The Exa has also been sold and I think the Gazelle might go as soon as it's finished as well....the Gazelle would be a great buy for the 2Lt class...wish I had the money. As for the Formula Fordon I think your right about the de-commission...still alot of people who would like that car though...me for one....pity I'm not a short arse like Skaife though so I can fit in it(punt).

That's a fair bit of the Gibson stuff gone (or going) from Terry. Still has more than enough exotic road/race cars than most of us could imagine and a true gentleman to go with it.

Here's the front cover report from AA from Bathurst '92. Those were the days.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
