It was Jimmy Richards: "...this is unbelievable, I just cant believe the reception. I thought Australian race fans had a lot more going than this. This is a bloody disgrace. I'll keep racing but I tell you, this is going to remain with me for a long time. You're a pack of arseholes."

Skaife said something like: "...we lead the race all day, I cant believe this. Nissan, Winfield, we've won the race, and thats just how it is..."

But yeah, good times...

Give it another 14 years and you will be LOLing at the stuff we are wearing now.

Think of the poor metrosexuals!

Jim Richards called the crowd a "pack of assholes" not sure what Skaife said...

Dick Johnson got his own back when Paul Radisich won the QLD 500 while sitting in the gravel trap. Took a while though.

yeah that's it! christ 14 years ago no wonder i can't remember. very comedy stuff though.

yeah metro's will look back and wonder what the hell they were thinking. he he..

then again i could look at what i was wearing yesterday and wonder what the hell i was thinking.. he he

Excellent promo.  

Check out the "mohawk" on the pommy guy being interviewed early on.

What's the deal with calling the GTR a 2.5 litre?? lol

Scott

Schenanigans no doubt, but the rb26 is actually only 2.568 l anyway... maybe they had some advantage in the regs by losing 0.013 of a litre ;)

Wouldn't it have been great to see a le mans spec r390 doing laps of Phillip Island :)

Does pride well up in the ****les of your heart???

Jim Richards looks so young - and even then he wasn't a young man.

It's strange looked back now that we're owners of 'French' cars (!!!) and motorsport is such a small part of Nissan worldwide and especially Nissan Australia.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
