* Many Thanks to JLM for completing a "special order" for this VS2 N1

* Many Thanks go to Skylines Australia; for without this club, I wouldn't have the cars I have now, to play around in.

Have thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to see this car at many events and on cruises.

And the owner is not too shabby either ;)

Fantastic car and awesome article!

Just finished reading it. Great article. Its such a beautiful car Terry. I love it.

The shots around Mt Panorama are awesome!

You did the car proud mate. The words and photos did both of you proud.

Thank you fellahs for your appreciation and nice comments.

There's always a 'black sheep' pic that doesn't make it into an article and in this case, it was this one.

I obviously hadn't taken the right line and was approaching the apex late.

It really is a great track and I'd encourage any SAU guys to take a photographer with you when you take your car up for a Bathurst run.

Yes, I took Tash and Matt to spot ahead for me too, for obvious reasons.

Latest News:- SpeedHunters has just announced that this article has in the first 24 hours, been "shared" over 80x, and has had over 2100 "likes" - both records.

That's awesome to know you've broken 2 records! all that e-fame, they should feature your posts in the finding nismo thread, they'd have a heart attack! :rofl2:

I think the R32 is a car that can be appreciated by anyone, their articles about drag racing in the US and bosozoku culture and other niches are fantastic, and are always enjoyable to read.. But a clean and rare edition of an R32 GTR hits home with everyone.

Congratulations again :)

Congrats Terry! So what happened when Speedhunters first rocked up to interview you? Did you tell them they'd never heard of their pokey little motoring blog lol?

Hahaaa I'm so naive that I would believe it if you told me you'd never heard of Bathurst before either.

I personally did an 11th hour search of SpeedHunters before the interview.

Much appreciated you guys.

Just to join some dots, since SpeedHunters is followed devotedly (apparently) by many in the US; because auction prices in Japan have escalated appreciably concerning 1989-90 GTRs; and whilst many good BNR32s have come to Australia, the prospects of BNR32 values appear to remain healthy for well cared for models with service history (preferably from Japan as well as in Oz) intact. My 2c.

It's kinda weird, the moment I saw the lead-in picture on SH the other day my first thought was "I bet it's an SAU member" and my second thought was "I bet it's that Terry bloke", even though I didn't actually know what GTRs you had. Top quality example, well done. :beer:

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
