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

I've just grabbed my self a Bathurst Gibson Motorsport R32 GTR car Model, i'm now trying to track down a poster or two without success. :)

The Model cost me $160.

I bought the same model :(:D:D... what number did u get?

I got a link that might hel u out a bit aye....

This is just one of the pictures

have a browse round.... heaps of pictuers on there as u will find out =)

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
