Potenza RE-71 225/50/16 were the sticky tyres that Bridgestone developed back then for the GT-R. RE-010 for the V-Spec.

Next Q. Do you know what the 1st prize will be for the "Best R32 GT-R" at the R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary event next month, besides getting an Award Certificate signed by Terry Ashwood? :P

This will have to be confirmed at 100%, but apparently the late R32 GTR's (>2/93) share the same engine as the R33 GTR's, including the crankshaft with wider oil pump drive and the pull type clutch setup.

absolutely correct....in fact I pulled apart a 94 R32 on the weekend and it has pull clutch and long oil pump drive. also had what I would normally call 33 gtst calipers instead of the similar but different external r32 gtr calipers. few other wierd things too.

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.

~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.

And what was the date of the NISMO Version release?

Did you know for the Aust. R32 GTR there was no reverse lights beside the rear number plates, replaced the indicators as reverse lights, and so the outer brakes lights made orange.

I googled them. Australian delivered R32 GTR tail lights are here: https://cars2.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-SKYLINE-R3...bayphotohosting

Mr Samo - the J-Spec GTR's actually produced less power than the Gibson Motorsport GTR's.

When Gibson order the GTR's, they cam race prepped with 500hp Nismo motors etc, and Gibson played with them and bumped them to 600hp.

Gibson Motorsport were invited to compete in Japan with their GTR's (against other tuner GTR's), however Nismo told them not to come as they would annihilate the competition.

^^^ The NISMO vid posted in this section shows the Gibson cars starting life as standard road cars then built. Not from NISMO.

Also NISMO's own cars were slower than the Gibson ones, that's why they weren't allowed to go :(

5 internets to anyone who can tell me when the last run of R32 GTR's was, what colour and how many?

5 more internets if you know what the luxury skyline model was called when first released, and who designed it (if you work this out, it should give you a hint to the first question)

A. The Infiniti G by Hiroshi Hasegawa

And what are "internets" anyway?

I would guess then Hiroshi Hasegawa did the r32 gtr too and the were white and about (from wikipedia) 2756 of them.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
