hi!

I´m interested to know if you guys have advanced technical know how about the Group a cars that was such a success in the 90 s. Its more and more popular to build a nice time attack car, and the "top secret" know how maybee not so top secret anymore??

I think it would be very nice to know more about hardcore technical solutions, data about suspension alighments, CG, RC, scrub, spring hardness, swaybars and so on, all this information would be alot help to people today trying to show the world about the GTRs splended performance.

i´m also interested in engine tech, such as the swing oil pickup in the wet sump and so on, all this Group a candy.. :P

I know there is a group a thread but its mostly just alot of talk about anything group a.

There was more than spring rates and swaybars mate.

There were underbody chassis mods and all sorts of business far as i am aware (as there certainly was with HR31's) :P

Not saying the Group A's weren't fast in their day, but given the technology and advancements of today, i cannot see why you couldn't realistically do a better job.

Tech has certainly moved on since then, and they of course were built to Group A rules, so I don't know why anyone would want to stiffle their build by replicating the specifications of them.

You could PM "Jetwreck" to request some specs and settings on the Group A GTR he is involved with.

while the cars were amazing in the day...things have come a long way in 20 years.

the group a cars had custom hubs and control arms for a start....very little was standard.

I have seen the alignment specs and they were not far from what most people would already choose. eg not a heap of camber or toe out. remember they were pretty heavy and tyres were not huge.

Be interested to see engine spec. From what i can find on the net about j- groupa was that they were limited to 500ps. And std displacment. Did they just run n1 turbos?

bit more HP than that(the GIO car dyno'd recently at 360AWKW's on 1.5bar).....they also chased torque more that HP with them.

How was the response like compared to say a set of -9's which are around the ballpark for that power?

You could say -5's but they are closer to 400 @ the tyres.

:P ....wtf are you talking about!.....lol

sorry man you lost me...elaborate please!

Garrett bolt on replacemt turbos (2860's), new tech stuff :)

Was wondering how they compared response wise. Obviously they would be better given 15 years of dev.

But just how much, and more importantly how do the torque curves differ

Even get the two cars onto the dyno same day just to see it all.

Would be an interesting comparison IMO, results could surprise everyone :)

oh....I get yah now....remember I'm only a "Spacer".

The turbo's on the motor came with the motor.....when we rebuild the ones on the current motor I'll let you know what's in em....oh and we wont be changing the spec....no need they do the job pretty effectively!

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing

      Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.

      All Jap Day is coming up again! 13th of July this year. Are you going? Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 6pm. Please let Quang know as well. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1163155775853542   I still get shit from my wife for this photo because it is the happiest she has ever seen me. And it's not with her, it's in someone else's car.   Quang's EVO is sick, but that rotary wagon flying past was absolutely bonkers.
