Sorry about the stutter guys,got a very helpful offspring who thinks pushing buttons on the keyboard is fun.I was trying to say I have a stack of the old GTR posters from the Gibson/Winfield days.If anyone is keen I think they can be copied & mounted fairly cheaply these days.Must warn you though,they are reponsible for creating an obsession with these cars.Can email pics if req.Thanks.

Thankyou USER for posting this and thankyou GraemeWi for taking the time to write the history of such a great but also mysterious car to Australians, That post has set a lot of records straight for me because i have spent a lot of time telling a lot of W@NKERS how great the GTR was and still is !!! Now i can just show them.

Thraso. :D

I've got "the great race - the turbolent years" on DVD if anyone wants to borrow it... i might rip the 1991-1993 section onto divx if someone can give me a place to host it.

hmmm Graeme have you considered publishing this? Like in a glossy book with pictures n stuff? (its too short for any other medium)

:) I work in the book industry - I couldn't really afford to do it in print properly. Changing the page size to A5 would make it around 60 pages with no pictures, so padding it out with extra stuff would make it a slim paperback.

I'm still working on the early years 1984-1989 so the page count will go up a fair bit once I finish that section.

I'm a fan of PDF distribution for it, that way people can read it on either paper or screen in a consistant format.

Cheers,

The best I could find was a DVD from Channel 7 called Bathurst 1989-1991 the turbolent years. But even that is a highlights package, not the entire race.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
