It was riced up for a couple of years with the 2L cars (Lancers, WRX etc.) appearing trying to get something. nobody went though, so they got rid of them. nothing can beat the 5L V8's at the mount on race day. the atmosphere is intence

I want to go to the 24hr race, just to hear the Lambo going flat-strap down the straights and across Sulman, Reid and McPhillarmy Park

I've just grabbed my self a Bathurst Gibson Motorsport R32 GTR car Model, i'm now trying to track down a poster or two without success.

The Model cost me $160.

Ah the good old days of racing. The year of the arseholes, senna and prost were banging wheels, Mansel was king..... *sheads tear* When racing was racing, not money is racing.

I miss the Group B Rally cars....mmmmmm!

I've started working on the years 1984-1990 for the other Skylines; DR30 and GTS-R. They did some interesting things back then.

mmm GTS-R... that's ME

I can wait as long as one has to for something this valuable

[Sonic]

Now all you need is Nissan's racing history from KPGC10 GT-R to Le Mans to JGTC, LOL! It's great to see someone so dedicated to preserving history.

People who write books on the Grp A era are going to thank their lucky stars when they find that info posted above!

Cheers to you GraemeWi!

That's going straight to the poolroom!

Reading it really brought back the memories of how varied the racing was under the Grp A rules. So much more interesting than watching the Falcodore dinosaurs...

If you dont like the good old Falcon's... then DONT WATCH IT!

I also miss the Ford Cosworth Turbo Sierra's that gave a challange to the GTR's in those days! Also an interesting fact is:

Sierra Cosworth Turbo - 680HP

V8 Supercars now - 640HP

its interesting that a turbocharged 4 cylinder was producing more HP than the current V8 race cars!

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

loved the read but was dissappointed with Holden & Fords attitudes towards things there. would have been interesting to see how it would have panned out if the GTR an Sierra were still in there. V8's would need to do something a bit better

The Sierra's had plenty of power but they didn't have that much in race trim. They may have been able to pull that using 3 bar in qualifying trim on the special fuels during 1987-1989 before CAMS moved to pump fuel.

From memory the Sierras ran around 530-550 hp.
