I was eyeing off a spare 6spd Hollinger with magnesium bell housing off Gibson car. Kept telling myself that it would be right at home behind my little RB20 :)

Does anyone have any idea how the lap times at EC and PI compare to the times the cars did back in 89-90?

The category webiste has a great picture of the Skaife car (not sure if Terry still owned it at the time) going sideways at what looks to be turn 2 at Wakefield. I have it saved on my work PC. Anyone got the pic im thinking of?

Also one from between turn 3 and 4 at EC (up over the hill) where the R31 is splitting flame and being chased by the HRT VL :)

Anybody have any other info on this historics weekend?

It's funny, I've never liked the look of the 31s because of the guys that run em around Newcastle, but after looking at these pics I realise that these boys are just turning a great car into an abomination :)

monkeykplunk, fair call mate

unfortunately plenty of deadshits buy the aussie model r31 sedans

because a) they are cheap and b)they are great value for money

but yeah, guys put shit rims on them, shit paintjobs etc etc

saying that, plenty of nice 31s out there too

even some nice coupes up there in newy

That Beaurepaires car is actually Rod Marklands car(chassis #1)

That was after GMS sold it to Chris Lamden (sic?).

Then Terry bought it and repainted it in Nissan colours.

Then he bought Richo's 1990 car (chassis #5) and sold chassis #1 to Rod.

As for historic racing, you can get anything and everything at these meetings.

I've seen Ferrari F1 cars (1.5L turbo), Honda F1 cars, Tyrell F1 cars.

Porsche 935's 962's 917's 908's.

Ford F40's (real ones) Lola's open wheel & sports.

Buick straight 8's, Corvette specials, cars with lever arm shocks and giant finned drum brakes.

Cars where the driver sits right next to the fuel tank, where the drive is via twin chains from a rear mounted diff...

I could go on for some time.

I was thinking more about where and what time and price etc when I asked for more info :yes:

But that all sounds pretty sweet anyway and has got me excited to see all this.....

Here are a few pics i stole of the the #9 ANZ Rouse/Moffat Sierra from 1987 that is back in NSW. It seems the owner is planning on restoring it

There was also a guy that was floating around on SAU for a week or two looking for information on the Murray Carter NetComm DR30 that he had just purchased. I seem to think he started restoring it around Nov 2005. I wish i had the cash to buy the DR30 that is for sale in Melbourne at the moment. The asking price seems reasonable

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
