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

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
