Car Australia December 1989

Am keen to read this article as I would love to know if the car was tested in Aust or tested overseas. It looks like the corner may be the left turn onto the back straight at Sandown in which case the car would have been in Aust pre December 1989... If that is the case, is it then one of the JDM road cars given to Gibson Motorsport to develop as a Group A race car, or is it an ADM development mule prior to being developed?

Car Australia September 1990

Something random from Car Australia September 1990.
Some notable tidbits that, to the best of my knowledge, didn't quite eventuate:


1. I don't remember Sansui sponsorship on the cars after 1990, despite their "..major sponsorship deal with the team..." at the time of this article. Does anyone recall seeing Sansui on the cars in 1991 and beyond?
 

2. Despite the claim that Skaife and Richards "...will be joined by two other crack GTR driving combinations...", notwithstanding the T car, no other Group A BNR32 GT-R was seen at Bathurst during raceweek in 1990.

Car Australia April 1991
Something for the ADM fans. Car Australia's April 1991 issue in which it confirms that Nissan Motor Company will officially be bringing the BNR32 GT-R to Australia.

I was lucky enough to help Gavin when he first purchased the car and help get it up and running for it's first appearance since it's last ATCC Race.

Awesome thread guys! 

Will try and contribute a little with some work resources haha, our Wheels and Motor archive has recently gone public almost all the way back to 1953, all that's available can be viewed online.

Here's November 1990 from Wheels, behind the pits with Skiafe at Bathurst

Unfortunately missing the original July 89' piece where the "Godzilla" moniker was born...

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
