off topic.......but this clip made me go looking for clips of the gibson 32 gtr. why can't anyone do a 2.12 at bathurst 20yrs on? and even more off topic.....how hard is it to find an old 32 group A car from japan?

What are you talking about?

Lap records for the various racing classes are:

i mean in a 32 gtr. I'm pretty sure the time quoted for skaife is during the race, but one of the gtr's i think was in the 12's in qualifying.

Edit...it was Dick Johnson in the sierra that did a 2:12.898. that's flying.

Still...why can't anyone get their 32's to do 2:14's? (yes i know berry has done a 2:13 in the r34, but that's with modifications outside the rules of 1992....aero, suspension etc).

multi million dollar budget would be stopping most i would think.

people seem to think there is only a small difference between people building race cars in there back yard and cars that are profesionaly built. theres a huge difference. and if you have ever looked at any of the pics most or all of the suspension has been changed. that would factor for a fair bit.

If you were at SAU:NSW Christmas dinner last year with Alan Heaphy and Jim Richards, you'd understand why...

Was Mark (Berry) running full slicks or Semis? That could easily equate to a few seconds, but as has been said, would love to know what Heaphy and Jim had to say, would also love to hear Chubs recollection of the night, apart from the bit where he takes a bloke home...

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
