Hey Marko!

Photos of mine here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/343044-1995-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr-vspec/page__p__5532512#entry5532512

I think the R34's had a "proper red"... the only reason I like mine is the uniqueness; I have not seen many R33 GTR's in the wine red colour.

Pardon my ignorance but did Nissan (not Nismo or a special edition) actually ever make a red GTR - not the maroon the 32's come in either. Proper red.

AH3 = Red Pearl Metallic (although it may look like a deep wine red, it is referred to as red)

more on that red group A version, were any of those sold to the public?

I too had never seen that R32. I figured all Group As were race versions. I have a set of group A turbos for sale however, suit rebuild :whistling:

same goes with the r32gtr's - sfa in red.

i like your response in your for sale thread haha very good "Lots of views but no interest... so this GTR is destined to be my future project. Thanks for looking."

Mines not factory red but Nissan should have made more bright red GTR like the Group A version.

Whao!

Never seen / heard of Group A Version R32 GTR.

Must be limited, very limited.

1 of my mates who used to work for an aftermarket bmw specialist had a customer who had exactly that red group a gtr...his explanation of the car was that it was a promo car when the winfield gtr hit the scenes & it was the same colour with single wheel lock nuts etc - about 6yrs ago he wanted 60k for it

the funny thing is that he used to park it under a carport as well in his front yard (lived in bowral on acreage), he was more of a bmw enthusiast...well, once he took this gtr to a drive day @ wakefield with his mates who all drive bmw's & they all sledged him "rear wheel is a real race car" blah blah - anyway, this is how my mate met this guy as he built a race spec bmw m3 from the ground up!

Maybe some would know more info on this or correct me if i am wrong but there was 560 NISMO Group A Evolution build maybe some where red?, and only 228 N1 cars built. This is all can find on them but built my car to look a bit like the Group A version. Can anyone translate the writing in the Group A pic from above?

The Skyline GT-R 'Nismo', introduced on February 22, 1990, has a total production of 560 units as required for the "Evolution" models regulation (over 500). Its purpose is to homologate a number of aerodynamic changes used in Group A racing. Changes include additional ducts in the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler, a bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay, and an additional boot lip spoiler to provide more downforce.

The Skyline GT-R 'N1' model, introduced on July 19, 1991, was designed for home-market N1 racing with a total of 228 units produced. The most notable change was in the engine, which was upgraded to the R32-N1 specification. The car was also lightened by the removal of the ABS, air conditioning, sound system, rear wiper, trunk carpet, and the use of light-weight headlights. No color options were available and all 'N1' cars were delivered with a thin layer of Crystal White paint. The result was a 30 kg weight savings for a curb weight of 1,400 kg.

Production figures

  • Standard Cars = 40,390
  • NISMO Group A Evolution = 560
  • V-Spec = 1,453
  • V-Spec II = 1,303
  • N1 Race Version = 228
  • Total = 43,934

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
