Already got the first pic but not the one from the rear. That one is xlent Thanks

SO that O'Brien is the same guy that later ran the VLs etc in Evalast colours?

Roy thats right. Bill O'Brien of Everlast Battery Service and later Everlast Automotive Service (entrant)

Born 30.9.42

First race at Bathurst 1977 then

Bathurst:

1979 Falcon GT with Ray Winter

1980 Falcon with Bob Morris

1981 Falcon with Gary Cooke

1982 Falcon with Gary Cooke

1983 Falcon with Brian Sampson

1984 Falcon with Gary Cooke

1986 Nissan Skyline with Murray Carter

1987 Commodore VL with Brian Sampson

1988 Commodore VL with Sampson

1989 Commodore VL with Sampson

1990 Commodore VL with Sampson

I'm not sure what his Bathurst history was after 1990. He didn't seem to race in the ATCC for those Bathurst years as far as I can see though I might be wrong. Gricey would have called him a once a year Bathurst road warrior ( or something less flattering) but O'Brien always performed very credibly

By the way what has happened to the Baigent/Bowkett DR30 from Bathurst 1986

those pics a are not actually of the car when they raced in ATCC though. they are new pics taken in an historic race meet in the last year or so. at eastern creek. :D

  • 4 weeks later...

Dont forget this weekend. To the best of my knowledge only 1 x R31 will be there, but there will be the Grp A Jag XJS, Tweedie in his Sierra and Vic's own Gavin Strongman making the first track return of the R32 GTR to the track!. There is the JPS M3 in there and John Bowes old Turbo Volvo 240...along with Commodores, Mustangs and the Group C crowd of Toranas :)

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
