Just scanned this out of old car magazine, thought it may be of interest to fellow admirers of the Nissan/Gibson cars.

I have a few more I'll post up in the coming weeks.

Apologies for the crappy image joining.

Cheers

the R32 must have been a revelation when it was released in 1989.

it pisses me off when people compare the earlier GTR's to more modern performance cars without realising how revolutionary they must have been at the time of their release.

even when the R33 was released, it was as fast if not faster than the lower end porsches and ferraris of the day (infact there's an old top gear video doing the rounds which compares said cars).

Hi Muz,

Sure is....might be for sale at the moment as well!

Is the collection being broken up? Does Terry still have the cars on display? Haven't spoken to him for ages.

As far as i know the Formula Holden had been de-commissioned as a race car.

Don't know about him completely breaking the collection up, but his R31 the #5 car has been sold to Chris(who also owns the Sizzler Car). The Exa has also been sold and I think the Gazelle might go as soon as it's finished as well....the Gazelle would be a great buy for the 2Lt class...wish I had the money. As for the Formula Fordon I think your right about the de-commission...still alot of people who would like that car though...me for one....pity I'm not a short arse like Skaife though so I can fit in it(punt).

That's a fair bit of the Gibson stuff gone (or going) from Terry. Still has more than enough exotic road/race cars than most of us could imagine and a true gentleman to go with it.

Here's the front cover report from AA from Bathurst '92. Those were the days.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
