Surprise to most of us (that it was N.C.), but you're...

Absolutely Correct! :) > and he even had a podium finish!

Why is it a surprise to anyone? If you think about the 92 race the "winner" had three wheels left on it & the third placed car (Crompton & his sadly departed co driver - go look it up) were closing down the # 17 Sierra hand over fist.

Basically had the race not been red flagged he would have won. Coulda woulda shoulda...........

The R32 GTR’s 0-60mph time was only 6.2 seconds. However a couple of simple modifications would boost the power and speed to a blistering 4.6 seconds.

Umm, wtf? From factory the car can do 0-100km/h in sub 5 seconds with the factory boost restrictor in place... My previous gts-t could do 0-100 in 6.5 completly stock and you are saying the GTR could only go 0.3secs faster???

Nissan produced 100 Australian models of the R32.

No they didn't, they imported them, they did NOT 'produce' them.

The R32 GTR is the lightest of all the GTR models.

Lighter than the 1969 PGC-10.... I don't think so!

What Colour was exclusive to the Nissan Skyline R-32 GTR V-Spec I?

Did you know that there were:

~Standard Cars = 40,390

~NISMO Group A Evolution = 560

~V-Spec = 1,453

~V-Spec II = 1,303

~N1 Race Version = 228

~43,930 in total produced of the 32 gtr

~Originally only 510 were suppose to be made to be within the rules of Japans Group A racing but demade was so stong that they released the model for unlimited production. Hence the 560 for the Nismo Group A total.

~The N1 doesn't have abs, air conditioning, sound system, rear wiper, trunk carpet, and the use of light-weight headlights and were only produced with a crystal white paint.

~The V-spec models have brembo brakes, a retuned attesa system to the N1 and nismo options and they weigh 50kg more than the standard gtrs. The V-spec II also had 17" rims

~Production of the Gtr started out in May 22, 1989

~The first Gtr was produced in February 4, 1969 know as PGC10.

This is an awesome thread and should be sticky'd as well. Also the first link doesn't work OHY34H

Aus delivered R32GTR's had some things and different stuff, such as:

260KM dash

no speed limiter?

small rubber aerial on the roof near the rear windscreen

tail light wiring setup was different and indicators at the back were orange lens

20mm wider front seats

transfercase oil cooler and electric pump

number plate bracket wider and rear bar number plate recess wider to fit aus plates

side intrusion bars.

Thats all I can remember, there is probably more.

Also from around 1992 for JDM models headlights were a little different to earlier ones (parker light diffuser removed), side intrusion bars became standard and thats part of the reason why later GTR's were heavier than the 1989-1991 GTR's.

Does anyone know the answer to this??

I think he maybe talking about the N1 model instead of the V-spec as they were produced only in a Crystal White paint job which was exclusive to the N1.

I could be wrong but lol

Didn't count pre-R32 models.

Here's another:

"Did you know that the R32 GTR sits the lowest" (again only comparing R33, R34, R35).

I've got 2 to add.....

did you know Kerry Packer ordered 2 GTRs in wine red, and had them both modified by Fred Gibson before taking delivery (I hate to think what that cost).

also....

Nissan Australia sold just over 100 cars....but imported 200. The rest were sent back to japan in 1994 because they could not be sold here at any price. No wonder it took until 2009 for Nissan to sell another GTR

I suppose they could've run up 90'000 odd k's on them and sold em for roughly 20 grand LOL.

      Returning after a long time!

      By Shizu · Posted

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
