on the bathurst old track, before hulme died, the gtrs ran sub 2:15s, as low as 2:13's which was extremely quick.

The (Winfield) GTR crashed in 92, and as many others had crashed, the race was red flagged, giving the gtr the win.

Awesome stuff, I also want to get hold of the video, so if anyone has an idea as to where to get it, please tell

I think you are getting a bit mixed up. The track was changed in 87 - subsequent to Mike Burgmann's death on Conrod Sraight - not Denny Hulme's. Mike Burgmann was killed when he hit the base of what was then the Dunlop bridge in his VK Commodore. Denny Hulme on the other hand died of a massive heart attack while driving one of the B&H BMW M3's.

The GT-R's, in terms of lap speed, are a long way off the current V8's. Put that down to extra weight, boost restrictions and tyre technology.

One of the guys on SDU put the 90, 91, 92 complete races onto DVD a couple of years back. I have a copy of them but I'm in NZ, Im sure a couple of guys from here bought them. It was 2 discs per race which was digitalised from VCR, which was recorded from the live television coverage over here.

i would love to get a copy off you. happy to cover your costs, postage, time?

Please pm me if you can help out.

I have 'Bathurst - The Turbolent Years 1986-1992' on DVD. Has all the highlights from Bathurst between those years.

The good ol' days of the DR30s, Corollas, 7M Supras, Jaguars, RX7s, Walkinshaws, Sierras and the mighty Godzillas.....

Good viewing, brings back lots of memories....

I think Mark Skaife was only 19 at the '92 Bathurst race....

I've got the DVD's from Canman on SDU as well (I got his last set). 2 DVD's per race 1990, 1991 & 1992 including all of the pre-race coverage.

I've had some PM's about making copies of these for others. I am more than happy to do this but I am having trouble copying som of the discs. I have tried Nero, DVD Shrink and UltraISO, but they all seem to get stuck part way through.

Any of you guys have a DVD copy program that will copy all bits and/or ignore read errors? The discs are not encrypted, I think there are just some bad sectors.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
