Car Australia December 1989

Am keen to read this article as I would love to know if the car was tested in Aust or tested overseas. It looks like the corner may be the left turn onto the back straight at Sandown in which case the car would have been in Aust pre December 1989... If that is the case, is it then one of the JDM road cars given to Gibson Motorsport to develop as a Group A race car, or is it an ADM development mule prior to being developed?

Car Australia September 1990

Something random from Car Australia September 1990.
Some notable tidbits that, to the best of my knowledge, didn't quite eventuate:


1. I don't remember Sansui sponsorship on the cars after 1990, despite their "..major sponsorship deal with the team..." at the time of this article. Does anyone recall seeing Sansui on the cars in 1991 and beyond?
 

2. Despite the claim that Skaife and Richards "...will be joined by two other crack GTR driving combinations...", notwithstanding the T car, no other Group A BNR32 GT-R was seen at Bathurst during raceweek in 1990.

Car Australia April 1991
Something for the ADM fans. Car Australia's April 1991 issue in which it confirms that Nissan Motor Company will officially be bringing the BNR32 GT-R to Australia.

Awesome thread guys! 

Will try and contribute a little with some work resources haha, our Wheels and Motor archive has recently gone public almost all the way back to 1953, all that's available can be viewed online.

Here's November 1990 from Wheels, behind the pits with Skiafe at Bathurst

Unfortunately missing the original July 89' piece where the "Godzilla" moniker was born...
