Thank You David
Different series/model/year cars
Early series 1 had the smaller looking guard
Series 2 had the bigger looking they are still all 50mm extensions just mounted higher up

Wallets ready gentleman. The GIO GTR is for sale (About 3/4 of the way down):

http://www.powerplayimports.com/incl...hp?make=Nissan

POA

On Thursday 25th July 1991, the owner of the GIO Team handed over a cheque for an estimated $650,000 to Nissan Motorsports and took delivery of one of the most tecnically advanced Group A Touring cars in the world, the awesome NISSAN SKYLINE R32 GTR.

This is the only customer car Nissan Motorsports has ever built, and the GIO car remained at the Dandenong factory alongside Nissan Worls GTR's where it was maintained for it's entire racing career. The idea behind this was so the GIO team had the full resources and technical assistance of the Fred Gibson run Nissan Works. Team



There were a total of 5 Nissan Motorsport Group A GTR's built

Chaasis No 1 was written off at the Adelaide Grand Prix in 1990
Chassis No 2 is reportedly owned by a collector overseas
Chassis No 3 is in the Fox car collection
Chassis No 4 is the GIO car
Chassis Number 5 if the Number 1 Winfield car
During the year and a half the GIO car was campaigned it was driven by Mark Gibbs and Rohan Onslow and had numerous podium finishes including:

1st Drink Drive 500 at Sandown in 1991 where it won the race by 6 laps
2nd on Pole at the Bathurst 1000 in 1991
3rd Outright in the Bathurst 1000 in 1991
Dulux Best Presented Car in the Bathurst 1000 in 1991
1st Australian Endurance Championship in 1991
6th Outright in the Bathurst 1000 in 1992
The GIO R32 GTR has only raced once since it's final race in 1992 and is in its original "as raced" condition and has not been restored. It is currently in pristine condition.

So, does anyone want to buy my house, and I will probably have to sell the next door neighbors as well so I can buy the GTR. I dont know how I will live in it but I will try.

Why don't they just put the bloody price in the ad, i'm sure it would cut out a lot of time wasting enquiries from tyre kickers.

Highly amusing.......

By the way the guy in the coupe next to the Escort in the first pic must've had a job looking out of the side window, the central pillar's in the way!!

That's not a rather hacked about Alfa is it??!!
