Look how god damn good that GTR looks... even 26 years later
Much nicer than the later chunkier beasts. I'd have a R32 over any newer model Skyline.
Timeless design!
its old and looks like an 80s car, but ghee whizz, they werent slow thru the esses
@@lagigtesketit4379 it is an 80s car 1989
30 years later
That in-car starting 3:26 was just glorious. Seeing the GTR catchup and then rip through the gears to pass with that RB26 screaming!
That shift at 3:47 tho
Could you hear that little motor
@@chrisczaj7947 that is the engine you hear
Godzilla screaming
*In Jeremy Clarkson's voice *
"That Skyline.......just f**ks off."
I wish I could’ve lived through this era of racing. When they were actually shifting, using some of the most iconic cars to date, and had badass liveries
It was hands down the best era of racing. Everything feels so neutered these days.
im proud to be owning a R32 gtr. A piece of history.
How much was it?
@@closetglobe.IRGUN.NW0 $23000 when i bought it in 2019 :)
watching the R32 GTRs dominate Mt. Panorama as a kid - unforgettable!
Dominated ???? this race was won by walkingshaw Allan Grice win Percy
@@livenloud6697 yeah so, the gtr won tne next two years, they dominated and thats why turbo cars were dropped the v8 couldn't handle it
@@hondasarefaster5914 the Ford Sierra one more championships than the GTR in the history books anyway..
@@livenloud6697 Ford was racing longer the the Gtr and it made all them wins up but one just shows Ford wasn’t shit
@@livenloud6697 I see you hating on every comment that talks about the GTR dominating, imagine being that butthurt
The boss of nismo at the time came from Japan to see the GTRs race, thats pretty cool. 3:05
Because he wouldnt let nissan australia use the the japanese touring cars so skaife and the australian teams had to build their own.
I hated this car for winning and beating Ford , i have owned 3 GTRs since ............
It didn't win Allan Grice Walkinshaw did. The Nissan was only leaving for a short time so what
live loud Think he’s talking about the ‘91/92 seasons, chief
@@livenloud6697 The GTR won 2 out of the 3 Bathursts it entered before the sookie V8 boys cried too much because they were never going to catch it, the added extra weight and made them turn down the turbo and it still won. So when was the last time Holden made a V8? Thats right Holden doesn't exist anymore because they DIDN'T MAKE A GODZILLA .lol
@@mikeobrien9829 it's only crossed the line once
@@livenloud6697 no crossed the control line first that's all it had to do. It took 5 years for the V8 to match the speed of the GTR. I bet your one of the ones that cried and begged CAMS to change the rules because nothing was going to beat the GTR for years to come
This is the beginning of the legendary R32 "Godzilla" GT-R.
Despite being a lover of the Sierras, what a beast of a car!!! The Godzilla tag is well deserved.
RB = Race Breed
were they Cosworth Sierras?
Watching the gtr's at bathurst as a kids I fell in love with the 32. I have 3 kids of my own and have owned 3 gtr's I'm still in love lol
I made that 7 overtakes on the first lap from that GTR.... WOW
R32 GTR and RS500 Cosworth, two of my dream cars in battle!
wait you could talk to thedrivers while racing back then?
Yep. They were real men back then, not a bunch of whiny, jumped up prima donna kids like now. They're far too important and much too busy to speak to a mere television commentator nowadays.
@@brendanfromnz oh please...
@@brendanfromnz that and also there were accidents because of this. Perhaps widen your viewpoint before rambling on about ThE gOoD ol' DaYs
@@adrianwelgemoed9562 Give me the good old days over this fucken shit they've got now. Watching slot cars would be more exciting. They didn't need wrapping in cotton wool to save them from themselves like now. Christ the world is full of woke pussies.
@@georgejakob1451 Excellent manners son.
How good was it to watch actual cars you could buy so to speak rather than a controlled cage with panels fixed to it? Motorsport was at its peak back then, been downhill eversince
Mainstream/A-Grade/Top tier motorsport at least; a lot of the lower leagues can still be a good watch, the Touring Car Legends for example
Back on the rocks back on the rocks, BABY! You gotta go and live forever!
Doriya!!!
3:44 best moment of my entire life, this gear banging is georgious ! This dude drive like there is no tomorrow, I love it !
Those were the days, great variety of cars, each with their unique characteristics, these were great fun races to watch!
Cams theory was to put a lot of weight on on the GTR - when really all the had to do was make it rear wheel drive.
The Sierras were crippled by an extra 80 kg & the Holdens were gifted some engine upgrades and lost 75 kg .
MAN!! I could of swore that in car cam was 1080P!!! hahaah it's so clear!!!
Even the stabilisation
The Virgin RS500 and The CHAD GT-R
Chad would go for a challenger not GTR LOL
@@Buddlebot Based and ChallengER-pilled.
Though the ChallengER would prolly be too heavy.
@@Buddlebot GTR AWD tho
@@user-tj8sl4lx3c the damn challenger was Challenge to drive - my dad
Lmao, the RS500 achieved more than the GTR, what drugs are you on? The sierra is an aging car by this point, of course the GTR would beat it easily. And if anything, the RS500 is the only thing giving the GTR a real threat.
Racing today just is not the same.
I love the turbo tweeting you hear every now and then
That car was awesome... as well as the Driver behind the wheel....
At 3:50 you can see how the Ford driver raised hands in awe and shock. Like "How is he passing me this easy!?"
Amazing piece of history.
This race is what switched me from ford V8's to Skylines
You are aware that Nissan were nowhere near the end towards the end of this race don't you
@@livenloud6697 where?
The Ford Sierra Cosworth 2L turbo? And they was absolutely mental in the BTCC before they changed the rules in 1991
@@Haviair9951 the vl commodore won in 90
Why not both 😂 love the rotary's too mate 🤣
Legendary car on a legendary track
These were the glory days of Aussie Touring car racing.
The R in GT - R stands for *INVINCIBLE*
There's not even a R in the word *INVINCIBLE*
yet, it made so much sense.
@@apophisstr6719 You didn't get the reference buddy, sorry.
Can you keep up with my R?!
"The legendary badge of invincibility"
I thought it stood for ranker
The way how Dick Johnson raise his hand when Jim Richards fly pass...
3:31 - 3:53 = Golden!
Brock the mountain master RIP ! Thanks for the memories fighting these awesome GTRs 🏴🙏🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏
listening to that r32 roar at 3:34 gives me goosebumps
jim richards! kiwi legend!
I wish we had more cars like this again.
Bring back Nissan R35 too RACE 2024 PLEASE
Great racing back then. An interesting variety of cars involved.
What a time to be alive 🤌
Is that Bruce McAvaney and James Hunt in the commentary box?! Amazing
3:45 How violent are these two upshifts? Damn
The inboard cameras at that time are quite nice
The Australians were the gold standard when it came to TV broadcasting
@4:55 awesome shot ❤ hi from New Zealand loved this as a 4 year old pretty much one of my first Bathurst I watched dad's mate had it on VCR he lost tape and somewhat thought I had it 😂😂😂
I loved the Nissan GTR's and the Ford Sierra, the squirrel sound of the Ford's was nice.
Now this was the days of proper racing
I remember watching this as a kid and now I own a r32gtr
Holy...32 second lead?
Are the Sierra Cosworth even in the same category?
and the GTR caught it up after being left in the slow pack behind. Thats the memory that lives on.
Its hard to imagine how the Seirra driver and the GTR driver were in a league above the slower competitors of this series such that they'd lap the last place drivers.
@Honda Fag The Sierras were carrying lead ballast at this point in time to try and handicap them and make the v8s competitive. It wasn't enough to stop them winning but it made them more dangerous to drive. I don't think the Nissan had ballast as the skylines had always been so-so competitors in previous versions so they got a pass. The 1990 GTR shocked a lot of people, especially those used to seeing the earlier models fight for a placing.
@@Anax100
LOL, it just went straight to the lead & opened the gap up by over 1/2 a minute within the first few laps.
No one had seen a car do this before in Australia.
It's mainly because of the GTR's advanced AWD system, the Australian racing teams managed to get it generating far more lateral G's than the rest of the world.
It had far superior control as a result.
The RB motors have a very broad power band with the twin turbo setup.
Even with all the penalties in 1992, it still generated 600hp due to some clever tuning.
Well earned 18th place - Well done GTR
i remember well the sierra boys worried by the obvious advantage the gtr had - and the handicaped it hard - but it still won alot of races
In Japan the R32 Skyline GTR competed in 29 races with 29 wins
I owned a VL commodore gts once, had a nice straight 6 nissan engine
Damn fine engine that 3litre straight 6 Nissan. Very strong. Pulled like a train. Unbelievable
Lolol looks so much more entertaining compared to now lol
i think we may be returning very slowly back to the golden era of supercar racing in aus with the introduction of Mercedes-Benz - AMG and Nissan back into the series. But to do it properly i think they need to return to using different engine configurations like turbo 6's and 4's
If this video hit the algorithm in the right spot it would blow up
Cosine heaven, and I don’t think this track gets the recognition it should.
My favourite Tintop race car at my favourite circuit. Heavenly 🙏
At least I’ve seen a few GTRs getting around, stuffed if I can think of a Sierra punting around town.
Great Fountain of knowledge
In the end I think it was a 110kg weight penalty 18psi Max hobbled it and it still won
And Rev limited...it was hobbled to the Max
I miss these days
Theat GTR was a rocket. No wonder it got hobbled after the 1990 season
The GTR R32 was developed to defeat the Ford Sierra RS500.
Dialing through to the driver is character modern races cannot get back.
Ahhh...the days before Australian touring car racing went weird and painted itself into a corner with dead and dying V8's that Australia doesn't even make anymore.
And then the rule makers got salty and slugged the GT-R's with stacks of weight.
By this time though, Group A was on its way out due to escalating costs and lack of manufacturer involvement; bogans were crying, upset that a 6 cylinder turbocharged Japanese rocket was beating their heroes (never mind that the Gibson GT-R's were developed to an inch of their lives and were the fastest of their kind on the planet), the Brits were moving to the Super Touring era and touring car racing was going into somewhat of a dark age.
I was a diehard Holden fan but I was always partial to the GT-R. It led me to the Japanese JGTC series which became Super GT. The racing there is awesome.
Nissan Skyline GTR32 aka Godzilla was still biting up to these days
2021 and im still guttered that cossies and Gtr's don't participate in these races
I didn’t know go pro was back in the 90s
GTR has some body differences. Wider guards for wider wheels, obviously different wings and bodykits, also has an aluminium bonnet and vent slots at the front.
Even utter dominance was great to see in those times
The cosworth tho 🤤
It was actually the Alan Grice/Win Percy Commodore that won, Larry came 3rd.
That's beautiful.
What great cars these were. I love all the black smoke at the start! You can't beat the sight and sound of the 4-cyl turbos pumping out nearly 600bhp!!!
6 cylinder
Twin turbo inline 6
This was the passing of the crown, from the sierras to the skylines.
haha Brocky in a FORD... HRT lovers are tasting bile.. :)
Yeah haha 😂, though it's a comfortable thought that Moffat turned a RX7 into a track monster. Such a blessing to see the old timers with the slick skills to handle those cars ☺️
All praise 2 the great one mr hioki
bruce mcavaney has commentated EVERYTHING even the birth of GOZIRA
probably commentated on the birth of Christ
Game over racing
Good ol' days. So awesome. xD
Gtr haters looking at this all wrong… the GTR didn’t kill the v8, it stopped the grid ending up being all sierras as everyone started jumping ship
Easy to see why it was eventually banned from racing events. The R32 GTR was fucking unbeatable
W. RetroWaves do you recall what position this unbeatable car finished in?
@@seanbyrne7919 jim richards still won the championship in this and the r31
Bathurst should return to a production car race to give it back some spark.
Dammit, I never got to see these cars in action...
Same they were the days
+Agape Paul Marundan oh cool how can I watch it and where are they racing ?? Thanks
+Agape Paul Marundan cool thanks
Muscle cars masters you do . Father's Day Eastern creek race way
it still feels wrong to see brocky in a ford
Majestical ford falcons
hate you so much GTR..............BUT YOU ARE A POWERHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holden man here but DAM respect
It Came...It Saw...It Dominated....THE END
I saw that exact skyline in a hanger at Essendon airport owned by Lindsay fox
I forgot about this period in Bathurst history. Sierra v Skyline. Where are the commodores. A mate of mine owns a Tommy Kiara GTR 32 inspired and personally engineered Monster. He won't let me try her at Willowbank
Only 31 ever made.
I feel like a Tooheys
Draught brew!
They used to do that all time, especially during the races lol
Bit of nostalgia
Wtf, are the narrators actually talking to the driver at 3:55?? :O
welcome to the 90s :p
That Skyline made many Australians mad because kept beating the Holdens
That GTR looks much wider and squat than the other car. Reminded me of Audi Imsa GT car.
Back when a pack of Winny red 25's could be advertised
And you could afford em too haha
People calling the r34 Godzilla when in reality it’s the r32.
Other cars:,bzzzz eeeeeeoooowwwww weiuuow
Gtr: ROARRRRRRR!!!!!!!
No Izep, the GTR was designed and built to compete in Group A,the sedan and coupe variants came after.
4s, 6s, 8s and trubos if only it was still this good....
6 Litre GTR....What a tune
