See 3 Gibson Motorsport Skylines On The Track At Once - First Time Since 1989!


Recommended Posts

Well this is really 31Gun's place to post up - but he's at work and I just got off the phone from talking to him. And as always, he's giggling like a little schoolgirl, at the thought of and sheer excitement that this weekend, at the 2007 AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR MASTERS, there will be 3 Gibson Motorsport HR31 Coupes out on the Track. Rod Markland and Tony LaRosa (spelling??) have only gotten their cars back together on Wednesday to be at this event. Rod Markland even blew a BRAND NEW turbo in the dyno. Anyway all is fixed. Also, Rod Markland will be out there in his trusty old 31.

This will be a sight to remember - Hooksy informs me it will be the first time since 1989 that the 3 coupes will be out on the track together. For any guys in Sydney, get out there and have a look!!!

I'll be there sometime on Saturday. my number is 0402 287 773. Hooksy (31Gun) will be there ALL weekend. his # is 0405 279 725.

THE 31s WILL BE AT GARAGE # 36

Also, FRED GIBSON will be there on Sunday. I've said it before and I'll say it again, do not miss the opportunity to have a chat with this guy. He is more than happy to have a chat about the old days of Gibson Motorsport racing. The bluebird, the exa, the 31s, the gtr, you name it. He really does enjoy talking about it. If you need a conversation starter, ask him "is it true about Mark Skaife driving around an Australia R31 Sedan with a turbo whacked onto the side of the donk, that he later crashed??". This should see you get about 30 mins conversation out of him :)

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again
