Actually you are incorrect on that one.Factory HRT in VN Group A was making 560 hp revving to 8500 rpm.in the end it was allowed to race at1200- 1250 however people were struggling to get it that light.The top sierras were making lots more than 500 hp..I believe Dick johnsons was making 580 hp at 1200kg...however those weights did vary as each year CAMS penalised and helped certain maufacturers

ok so 560hp not too bad.. but struggling to make it light?? dude.. a vn weighed like 1250 from factory...

and say that the race version did indeed weigh 1250.. then u make my arguement even better.. the race GTR was weighin MORE while racing than what the street version did because of the extra ballast it had to carry.. so the 200kg disadvantage becomes 300... so heavier still.. and still owned everything. point is the GTR killed everything back then, even when it was heavily penalised *weight added and power reduction* it still won in bathurst aswell as around the world against tougher opposition.. like in europe.. against porsches and the like :cheers:

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
