I reckon this one is pretty darn original.

Interesting. In your opinion, is it worth that kind of dough? I've recently seen a Aust delivered example in mint original condition for $65k (ish) with around 100k klms on it.

Well it ultimately depends on what you want I guess. Is it a true collectable? I would probably say no. A V Spec, V Spec II or N1 would be a real collectable.

I guess like any car that dominated a large race event will make a mark in the history of motorsport, will always be considered as a special car and will end up being a collectors item.

V-Spec / V-Spec II, you could say are collectibles as only a limited production line of them where made and that was the whole reason calling it a V-Spec = Victory Specification, to celebrate the success of the GTR in both Group N and Group A racing.

But I would give it a few more years before seeing it as more of a collectors item.

But I see the N1 being more of a collectors item as only a very limited production was made of 228 units (Approx) due to it being so rare.

Ive got a stock, save for radio and floor mats, r32 gt-r vspec, standard right down to the stock exhaust, airbox, wheels, and ride height.

Bloody hard cars to find unmolestered.

Dude i agree i started looking for mine about a year ago and found one with genuine kms , there rare but still around , its great your still rolling around with a stock exhaust , its harder to stay stock than modify . :)

Also trying to illustrate that there is a rich history of Nissans being raced here in Australia and that they are worth a bit of coin because less than 100 were sold to the public. (R32 GTR)

Just like the fords and Holden during the earlier years, they too fetch a fair bit of coin, because they were legends in Australian Group A motorsport and only so many were produced and sold to the public

That’s my thoughts anyway.

Just a thought if you want to run in the historic class of Targa Tasmania, say 10 years from now, will the Jap imports qualify?

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
