Sizzler Hr31 Returns To Oz.

[31GUN]

The Grant/Grant Sizzler car from 1990/91/91 has been found alive and well in New Zealand.

It has been bought and should be arriving back in Australia around the end of this month.

The new owner is keen to have it racing at the Oran Park historics on June 1/2/3 where it will join Rod Markland, and Terry Ashwood's Gibson Motorsport HR31's.

It was originally Marks Skaifes 1990 car (chassis #4) but went to Alf Grant racing for the 1990 Bathurst in Sizzler colours.

It was raced on and off over the next 2 years including Bathurst 1991 were it finished 5th outright, with its final outing being Bathurst 1992 were it finished 12th outright.

Another classic Nissan racer back from the grave.

That's good to hear. I never thought all that much of the 31's until I went to the PI Historics. Amazing cars, absolutley love them now!

So, are they still lunching gearboxes like there is no tomorrow, or has someone found a fix for that?

[31GUN]

Gearboxxes are made of unobtainium and are unburstable.

It will be great when the Vic car is out as well. That will be 4 to keep the GMH badges from the podium.

The Vic car is very close....and looks a million dollars

couldn't agree more troy

i must say the gibson hr31s dominate their particular race

not sure what hooksy's view is, but Peter Brock's departure last year was a disappointment, in the fact that he had got back into the Historics with a Torana.

he was pushing Terry and Rod to their limits.

but anyway, 4 would be fantastic.

to a 31 loser like me, it's god's cum.

anyway see how we go

troy i will be coming down for any victorian rounds

would be great to catch up for a beer mate

cheers, MARK

ken oath

[Roy]

Then they sold out and went bigger then 2L and went AWD

[88silhouette]

yup

poofters

tell ya what, and you're a sierra fan roy, there used to be a sierra racing at the historics at a coupole of eastern creek rounds

poor old nissans struggled to keep up

we need that guy back to keep rod and terry on their toes!

[Roy]

Is that the B&H car? Yeh an ANZ car landed back in the country last year with the intention of also running. There is also the PJ Sierra down here in Vic, but there is no intention to run that car.

Rewind 12 years, if i could pick up a chassis for the same money they were going for back when 2L died and you could get your hand on the M3s, Ellery's converted Sierra etc real cheap. Or hell all those VLs! But they are all big money now, and it looks like the HRT VL will be keeping the Nissan guys honest.

Be interesting if Jim lands a drive that he is chasing...

[88silhouette]

yeah I'm well aware of Jim's intentions

I hope he gets in. the more competition the better!!!

Grapevine says PJ Sierra is coming back out to play later this year.

Grapevine also says that Vic R31 IS ready, and has been for some time.

Driver got cold feet? Small testicles? Handbag?

Which PJ car? There are two to the best of my knowledge. I have met one of the owners as his brother has a very quick R33 GTR that you see around the traps at trackdays. They also did the 2005 Vic Dutton together in the GTR. The other was for sale last i heard.

LOL..as for the Vic R31, its not cold feet, nothing to do with testicle size or women's accessories When the owner and car are ready im sure it will be out there. He builds some beautiful cars, its beyond me how he can turn around and go race them

Hehe, the GIO car was at PI on the weekend. My R32 GTSt was quicker the week before Its such a great looking car. I understand 100% why the owner may not want to push the thing. Either way it looked great out there and hats off to Gavin for putting it on the track.
