* 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:

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
