3 Genuine Gibson Motorsport Hr31 Skylines At Sandown Raceway


Recommended Posts

Big boy, Brisby and Patric

I'll be there at 9am tomorrow but just give me a yell when you get there and i'll come out with the tickets. My number 0423 856 410.

There are some mean machines this year, there is one that probably your fav Mr Brisby, a fully race pre Audi.

Apparently one of the R31s crashed?

Must happened at race 3 on Suday arvo then, i heard the 31 won the first race on Sat, i saw second race early sunday's arvo and the Ford Siera won, didnt' hang around to see the last race.

Yeah both the R31 and Sierra "disappeared" in the final race on Sunday. We couldn't see what happened to either from our vantage point - was down turn 1 way for both. But they were both just there one lap and not the next.

R31 Broke a diff or CV, Pulled off the track and was towed back, Sierra was bumped off the track by the RE car VC commodore that was in the top 3.

Gavin started to get a feel for the GT-R and ended coming 2nd by about 2 metre's to the commodore but it was a great race to watch.

In that shot of the DR30, the guy behind the wheel is Tony Scott.

He's the guy who put that very car on pole at Bathurst.

What year was that? 1986?

Hooks

Was he also the co-driver with Fury in 84 when Fury had that famous lap and stuck the bluebird on pole?

Gary Scott, to me it felt like I was surrounded by royality, jim richards, graeme "jackie" stuart and gary scott. Did anyone see fred gibson on the weekend was he flating around?

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
