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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
