* 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:

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
