Group A, by the end wasnt Group A any more. If I remember correctly technically the VN never did run under a pure Group A formula - it was always modified. The R32 happened to be one of the last of the Group A cars homologated and was always therefore likely to be the best.
It was a different age anyway. The Wanneroo round had 16 entries in 1992. Mallalalalala may well have been even less than that. The Sandown 500 had to run production cars to get a half decent grid.
Basically the Nissan had to be nobbled for the survival of the sport. A completely different circumstance to now when changes to the Mustang look to be damaging the integrity of the sport.
Anyway I would happily add any of the homologated Group A cars to my collection of one, which is an R32 GTR.
