Touring Car Champion Rounds, Anyone?

Recommended Posts

Being the proud owner of an R32 GTR (purchased almost exclusively due to a teenage memory of the 1991 and 1992 victories of the same model at Bathurst) I was recently watching my VHS to digital video conversions of the Bathurst 1000 races, and had a yearning to watch the championship rounds for the same years.

Does anybody have access to (or could provide recommendations for how to get) this material?

Cheers!

Chevron.com.au appears to be be a big fail.

Contacted them but they don't have anything unless it has been provided to them via one of the big TV networks. In other words, they've got sweet bugger all.

Any other crazed GT-R fans out there with recordings of their own creation like myself?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hell, I'd even pay for good quality material!

Would dearly like to watch those championship rounds with the R32 kicking ass again! (>_<)

Are these the championship rounds (or, in other words, the races during the year) or just the Bathurst 1000 at the end?

I already have the entire set of Bathurst 'The Great Race' VHS videos (from 1960 to 1992). It's only the championship rounds (that occurred throughout the year) that I'm after.

Any crazed collectors got access to these?

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
