Gibson Motorsport Hr31 Skylines At Morgan Park Aug 3/4/5


Recommended Posts

2 of the original Gibson Motorsport HR31 skylines will be at Morgan Park for the historic racing on August 3rd, 4th, & 5th.

The cars are Rod Marklands #12 as driven by G.Fury, G.Seton, & M.Skaife,

and Terry Ashwood's #2 as driven by J.Richards in the 1990 ATCC

Both will be racing, practice Friday, qualifying and race 1 Saturday, race 2 & 3 Sunday.

These cars are the genuine article and must be heard to be believed!

Nothing screams like a full race RB20DET.

The pits are open, so you can come and stick your head under the bonnet, in the boot etc.

And say hello to the charming pit crew including yours truly.

Can you confirm the dates? HRCCQ has the dates listed as 11-12th, AHTCA has the event listed for QLD raceway for 4-5th but I know that the 4th is booked for other events... ;)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
