I have the two Group A touring car support races from the 1992 Australian Grand Prix meeting in full and good quality. Good ol' Jimmy Richards won both of them. I'm literally about to head out the door right now but tomorrow [pending an extreme hangover] I'll have a lash at uploading them somewhere and post the link here for youse. Have a good one!

Good man :rolleyes: Id be keen to see them...

Skyliners, I'm uploading these 1992 Australian Grand Prix Group A races in segments [and in order]. Segments are around 100MB each [approx. 10mins], and there will be 5 all up. It'll probably be into tonight before all of them have been uploaded but it will be worth the wait, I promise. I will eventually whack these on YouTube but for now, feel free to just download the original files here and then you'll have them to enjoy anytime you want. If you don't have broadband or bandwidth to burn, PM me and I'll try to sort something out for you. I do have these races floating around on a DVD somewhere so if anyone is interested I'll try to track it down.

Commentary from Mark Skaife and big Darrell Eastlake. It's gonna be HUUUUUUUUGE!

Hey thanks targethonda.

These clips are awesome

Did u notice in race 1 part 1, that when Skaiffe is talking to Eastlake he didn't actually say that he was looking forward to racing a holden next year?!

All he said was that he was sad to see the Nissans go! :D

no worries bigslick, glad you like em. The final part should be up sometime soon.

Yeah, interesting point on the commentary! Also in race number 2, Darrell refers to the Nissan as a "GTS" throughout the entire thing. I don't know why cuz he said "GTR" all through race 1 without a problem! Oh he's a quality kid that Mr Eastlake.

oki doki, here's the final piece of the puzzle - race 2, part 2

I hope youse all enjoyed this footage. I reckon the R32 is still the meanest mofo of a GTR in terms of looks and sounds, but that's just me.

Cheers,

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
