I am wondering if there is anyone who knows where I can find the specifications for the 1990 R32 Skyline GT-R that was raced by Calsonic / Team Impul in Group A? I've googled my ass off and I just can't find anything else than loads of japanese pages and english pages that sell 1:18 models and R/C cars.

Preferably I'd like to know the specs for the Calsonic GT-R, but if that isn't possible, maybe the specs of another R32 GT-R raced in Group A during 1990?

Or at worst, what the Group A regulations were for 1990 and what kind of horsepowers the cars developed, and how much their weight was.

Really, anything would help me a lot :(

If you are from Sweden you could try Anders Oloffson?

The problem with finding horsepower figures from the group A era is that, to put it bluntly, all the published figures on the GT-R's are bullshit. They were quoted low so as to not scare people. If you can find the 1990 edition of the Australian Motor racing Yearbook there is a good article on Gibson's first up efforts.

Most of what has been published in Australia was about the Gibson Motorsport GT-R's. You will find torrents more information on them than on any of the Japanese stuff. In any case they were better engineered & better built.

    • Interesting....can't say I've ever checked it, have always just changed it in the off season as practice
    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
