It was riced up for a couple of years with the 2L cars (Lancers, WRX etc.) appearing trying to get something. nobody went though, so they got rid of them. nothing can beat the 5L V8's at the mount on race day. the atmosphere is intence

Excellent post Graeme. I'm sure we all appreciate the anount of time and effort it must have taken to complete it.

Cheers.

I've started working on the years 1984-1990 for the other Skylines; DR30 and GTS-R. They did some interesting things back then.

Cheers,

Now all you need is Nissan's racing history from KPGC10 GT-R to Le Mans to JGTC, LOL! It's great to see someone so dedicated to preserving history.

People who write books on the Grp A era are going to thank their lucky stars when they find that info posted above!

Cheers to you GraemeWi!

Thanks for posting it user :)

That's going straight to the poolroom! :D

Reading it really brought back the memories of how varied the racing was under the Grp A rules. So much more interesting than watching the Falcodore dinosaurs...;)

If you dont like the good old Falcon's... then DONT WATCH IT!

I also miss the Ford Cosworth Turbo Sierra's that gave a challange to the GTR's in those days! Also an interesting fact is:

Sierra Cosworth Turbo - 680HP

V8 Supercars now - 640HP

its interesting that a turbocharged 4 cylinder was producing more HP than the current V8 race cars!

The Sierra's had plenty of power but they didn't have that much in race trim. They may have been able to pull that using 3 bar in qualifying trim on the special fuels during 1987-1989 before CAMS moved to pump fuel.

From memory the Sierras ran around 530-550 hp.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
