Bought a video of the 1992 Bathurst Race off ebay, and got it in the mail today. I Just finished watching it (2 Hours of highlights). What a race! The 2 Winfield GTR's and the GIO GTR hammered along the track along with the Sierras! Poor old Falcons and Commodores got well left behind. That race is truly the best I've seen yet, especially when you see the rain bucketing down and the GTR driving on through it unharmed while the rear wheel drive Commo's lose it in the wet. Probably the best part is the ending when the storm comes through. Jim Richards hits the wall in his No. 1 Winfield Gibson GTR, and ends up in a pile up with a Sierra, a Commo and a Corolla. You can even get a glimpse of an HR31 Skyline GTS-R hooning past! Skaife and Richards definitely deserved being awarded 1st after the race was called off prematurely because of the torrential rain. Shame the V8 fans didnt like it, but as Richards said, "You're a pack of arseholes"

cheers, MARK

DivX??? Hey Ronin, where'd u find that??? cos i'm pretty new to Skylines, and all the models, i didn't even realise that they had the GTR's running all those years back...

anyways, Ronin, if you would be so kind to point me in the direction where these DivX's are at, i would really appreciate it. I got cable, so it shouldn't be too bad.

4WD's, turbo's and Rotaries, all too competitve to the V8's so they are now banned from racing.

As much as I enjoy watching bathurst I think a two make racing series is a bit boring.... I'd like to see other manufacurers in the race, doesn't mean they have to allow turbos etc back they can still all run V8's but allow other body shells and manufacturers to enter...

There have been rumours of both Mitsubishi and Toyota looking at running is supercars, but I don't see them making the sort of investment you need to catch up with Holden. Would be interesting if Ford pulled out due to lack of results though.

The Future Tourer series run common v8s in pretty much any bodyshell - the v8 magna is doing well, there are also commodores and falcons running around. I think BMW were also considering this one.

this sort of thing really $HIT$ me. bl##dy stupid V8 fans and the like being put in there place by a jap car. so what do they do?? ban them from the race and stop them from competing. if they were allowed to compete imagine what would have happened. Batherst would have been dominated by the GTRs decimating the dunnydores and Falcons. Every one would see that V8s are dinosours and that forced induction is the future. people start buying these amazing totaly revolutionaty performence cars.

Suddenly nissan australia sees what everyone else has seen on this fourm, and its like they were born again! the CEO cancels all the shippments of pulsars and patrols and orders a million GTRs!!!

they all sell in the frist day of there relese, so he orders another million then another million until 8/10 cars in australia is a GTR.

aahhhh *cough* excuse me i started day dreaming again. back to the topic - V8s SUCK:D :P

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
