Anybody want to discuss the article itself?

I don't know why they used a cheap fibreglass N1 bumper copy on the Aussie Group A GT-R... also those mirrors look like they belong to a Caterham Super 7. It's interesting to note the smug content Gibson Motorsport had with the Group A GT-R, they *knew* they were going to win even in pre-season (well I suppose blowing away the Sierra Cosworth times would do that), it was just a matter of warding off DNF's/reliability issues.

Someone host the PDF instead of having poor old Mark send it to so many email addresses :)

Ok, here it is: http://www.ksgarage.jp/groupagtr.pdf for a short time only...

Right click and save as!!!

I'd love to know more about what's what in the engine bay. I've rarely seen a race engine - what's the aluminium box in the top right of the pic?

And is the strut brace setup better than a bar or just different?

Rezz: I'm assuming that you spotted the bumper as a copy as it's a one-piece?? and thanks for the hosting

edit: found another mention for the Aust GT-R. Not terribly informative, but the 1990 price tag is interesting.

I was at the Clipsal 500, and they had the Winfield GTR there, good thing was the 90% of the people were one eye V8 bogans, so i got a good look at it.

could i have the PDF to [email protected] please?

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
