3 Gibson Motorsport HR31s will be racing at Sandown Raceway November 9/10/11.

These cars are the real deal;

Jim Richards 1990 ATCC winning car in full Nissan warpaint (chassis #5)

Alf and Tim Grant's 'Sizzler' car (Chassis #3,Ex Mark Skaife)

Chassis #1 in original Nissan colours (Ex George Fury, Glenn Seton, Mark Skaife)

All 3 cars are as raced.

If you haven't heard the howl of a full race RB20, now is the time to educate yourselves!

And say hello to the charming and glamorous pit crew (1 of which is me)

And race 2&3 on Sunday.

As for actual times, who knows.

Depends on whether we are the feature race or not.

Either early morning (9am) and early arvo (12;30-1;30)

Or late (10:30/11 and 3-4)

this is the historics yes? They regularly run these in the historics along with a few other group A cars from that period. The Gibson R32 is also there but doesn't get raced, I have seen it being driven around though. You can usually go right up to it and poke the engine bay etc :).

Yeh, this is the weekend of the Sydney trip. This really sucks. The owner of the Vic GTS-R has finished his other liitle project which has been a big demand on his time. I suspect he will be racing his new toy rather then the R31...but will ask him next Wednesday when i see him

Would you have any idea closer to the date when these cars might be out on the track?

Seems only 1 X R31 is making the journey...but thats cool. There is still the Grp A Jag XJS, Tweedie in his Sierra and Vic's own Gavin Strongman making the first track return of the R32 GTR to the track!. There is the JPS M3 in there and John Bowes old Turbo Volvo 240...along with Commodores, Mustangs and the Group C crowd of Toranas :D

Plus, a friend is debuting his Group NC car this weekend, so should be big!

But, i fear unless the Nissan boys have a real go that the Mike Roddys' Jag is going to eat the field alive :) My poor RB20 :D

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
