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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
