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.

I was lucky enough to help Gavin when he first purchased the car and help get it up and running for it's first appearance since it's last ATCC Race.

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...

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
