The Sierra's were serious competitors on par with the GTRs at Bathurst (only have the 1990 to 1992 greatest moments from bathurst videos to base that assumption on) if only the reliability was sorted out

Yes this is true they were only restricted in the years after they thrashed the assss of every one then still bet them and the other teams turned around and said ohhh come on guys let us play ....... or we will make it V8s only sadest day ever GOD live the GTR king of them all........You are most childs dream to own one .........

Actually there's many reasons that they went to the V8 format that they have now...One being the GTR but do you remember the racing format back then??? Timed races?? BORING!! They had dwindling spectator and competitor numbers and if you watch any bathurst from back in that time they had everything from GTR's and sierra's to suzuki swifts to make the field up! They had to do something to make it viable, so the V8 format was born....

If i remember rightly as well, the sierra was only running 8 inch wide rear tyres?? With over 500hp outta em and rear wheel drive on an 8 inch wide tyre i beleive that traction was a major issue...And if you watch any of those races from that era every slow speed corner the sierra is in wheelspin! Twas an awesome car though and ahead of its time as was the GTR!

I've got a DVD from 1991 of highlights of the races and i know exactly what your saying about the grip outta the hairpin's at Mallala!! OH MY GOD!! So awesome!! LOL!!

They invented the V8 supercars to keep the GTR out. Having your arses whipped and handed to you 3 years in a row does that to the Holden-Ford community. Throw a GTR in the ring today and it'll still whoop them. :(

generally as it hits 100deg C water temp, and probably 110 - 115 oil temp. Oil breaks down at 120deg C, and coolant will boil around 110 - 115deg C. As long as when you hit these temps, you get off the noise and cool it down for a few laps, you should be fine.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
