Genuine Gibson Motorsport Grpa Skylines Go Oran Park June 1/2/3.


Recommended Posts

Put this in your diary.

Oran Park June 1/2/3. Historic racing.

Rod Markland and Terry Ashwood will be racing their ex Gibson Motorsport HR31 Skylines in the Group A/C category.

These cars are still in their original Nissan colours, just as they raced in 1988/89/90

The big news is that The Grant/Grant Sizzler car (GMS chassis #4) should be making a comeback.

The car was found in New Zealand and is in excellent condition, in its original Sizzler colours.

It should be arriving back in Australia around the end of this month, and the new owner is keen to have it at Oran Park.

Should be huge, 3 HR31's howling around the circuit.

Be there and cheer on the Nissans!

Rod Markland had his R31 at Wakefield Park yesterday and it was awesome.

These cars did not have any of the level of development that the Gibson R32 GTR’s had (e.g. it was running a plenum that was very similar to a GTS-T’s with a single throttle body) yet it was amazingly quick down the straights compared to the Ford and Holdens that it was running against.

To see three R31’s on the track at once will be great.

Do you know who's going to be racing the Sizzler car?

I was there at Wakefield on the weekend as well...the R31 was awsome...even the starts(Terry and Rod could take some leasons)....nothing beats cubic inch's aye...except for a 2lt turbo NISSAN....V8's are dinosaurs....talking about dinosaurs....Did anyone hear the announcer on the Saturday...he sounded a bit limp wristed....great job Mark....lol

Chris was awsome with the drifting!!!!

    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu? 
    • Yeah thats the plan now. 🤞
    • Have a chat with the tuner, you'd want to drive the car straight there.
