*****
After a brief history lesson immediately below [from www.worldlingo.com] to get a perspective on our little gtir cars' rally motorsports efforts, please find a huge series of 152 jpg images of the factory manual "GTIR NME RNN14 Group-N Manual.pdf" Enjoy. I hope it is useful to some. If the pdf is available, it's way better, please post if you find it.

Following below is a brief bit of history lesson courtesy of http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/Nissan_Pulsar_GTI-R#Models ; it hopefully gives a bit of perspective on the racing effort involved.

""___N I S S A N___P U L S A R___W R C___H I S T O R Y___

...After producing the required 5,000 examples (500 of them being homologation (RB) models), Nissan entered the GTI-R under Group A rules in the FIA WRC as a factory team (NME) in 1991 & 1992.

NME only competed in selected rallies during both years (ones they thought had the highest potential for good results), but the expected initial success did not materialise, and they never won a WRC Group A rally in the GTI-R. The campaign was abandoned in 1992, NME was shut down, and funding was redirected to Le Mans and the development of the R390). Much has been written about the reason for the NME failure. The most notable being the Dunlop tyres, the inefficiency of the top-mounted intercooler when engine power was increased to Group A standards (especially in hot weather), and the political and cultural issues between Nissan Japan and the newly created NME (Nissan Motorsport Europe).

1991 Results

* Round 4 - 39th Martini Safari Rally Kenya
o Stig Blomqvist - 5th
o Mike Kirkland - 7th
o David Llewellin - DNF (Accident)
* Round 6 - 38th Acropolis Rally
o David Llewellin - 9th
o Stig Blomqvist - DNF (Differential)
* Round 9 - 41st 1000 Lakes Rally
o Stig Blomqvist - 8th
o David Llewellin - 10th
* Round 14 - 47th Lombard RAC Rally
o Stig Blomqvist - DNF (Suspension)
o David Llewellin - DNF (Electrical)

1992 Results

* Round 1 - 60th Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo
o François Chatriot - 7th
o Tommi Mäkinen - 9th
* Round 2 - 41st International Swedish Rally
o Stig Blomqvist - 3rd (BEST RESULT)
* Round 3 - 25th Rallye de Portugal
o François Chatriot - 6th
o Tommi Mäkinen - DNF (Accident)
* Round 9 - 42nd 1000 Lakes Rally
o Stig Blomqvist - DNF (Engine)
o Tommi Mäkinen - DNF (Gearbox)
* Round 14 - 48th Lombard RAC Rally
o Tommi Mäkinen - 8th
o Stig Blomqvist - DNF (Accident)

Group N

NME did not enter Group N (Production) cars in the WRC, but other factory-backed Nissan teams did. Most notable was the Nissan Belgium Rally Team with lead driver Grégoire De Mévius, and a Japanese entry (Team unknown) driven by Hiroshi Nishiyama.

De Mévius won 2 WRC Group N rallies: Acropolis (Greece) in 1991 & 1992, and won the Group N Championship in 1992 (FIA Cup for Drivers of Production Cars) with 37 points.

Nishiyama won 1 rally: the Rallye Côte d'Ivoire Bandama (a non-manufacturer round) in 1992, and finished 2nd in the Group N Championship in 1992 with 30 points.

These results clearly show that the GTI-R has the specifications and ability to be a successful rallying car at Production Class level.""

OK, Now onto the manual. Hopefully the history gives some insight.
ENJOY!

Thanks! that's great, i couldn't find it anywhere anymore online as a pdf.
?
Would it be possible for the canadagtir server to host that pdf in the articles section?
Perhaps along with the pdf's [or links] for the two workshop manual volumes?
LINK TO VOLUMES: http://www.gtirworkshopmanual.com/
that one works for now^^^^^^

The pdf for the n14 NME rally manual unfortunately isn't text searchable, but, it jumps to chapter sections and is a way better resolution.

Noticed anything "funny" with the exchange rates and parts prices lately:
