Anybody want to discuss the article itself?

I don't know why they used a cheap fibreglass N1 bumper copy on the Aussie Group A GT-R... also those mirrors look like they belong to a Caterham Super 7. It's interesting to note the smug content Gibson Motorsport had with the Group A GT-R, they *knew* they were going to win even in pre-season (well I suppose blowing away the Sierra Cosworth times would do that), it was just a matter of warding off DNF's/reliability issues.

Someone host the PDF instead of having poor old Mark send it to so many email addresses :)

Ok, here it is: http://www.ksgarage.jp/groupagtr.pdf for a short time only...

Right click and save as!!!

I'd love to know more about what's what in the engine bay. I've rarely seen a race engine - what's the aluminium box in the top right of the pic?

And is the strut brace setup better than a bar or just different?

Rezz: I'm assuming that you spotted the bumper as a copy as it's a one-piece?? and thanks for the hosting

edit: found another mention for the Aust GT-R. Not terribly informative, but the 1990 price tag is interesting.

I was at the Clipsal 500, and they had the Winfield GTR there, good thing was the 90% of the people were one eye V8 bogans, so i got a good look at it.

could i have the PDF to [email protected] please?

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
