My father took these pics in Rundle Mall during the 1993 AGP in Adelaide.

I guess GIO wanted some exposure for the advertising dollars even if the car hadn't raced for nearly 12 months.

Can't really see enough to tell whether it's a show car or the real thing ( I guess not many show cars get fitted with air jacks), but I'll take one anyway

Some of you may remember a certain young fellow called Mark Skaife wrote off a Gibson GTR at the AGP in 1990.

It looked like this when he had finished.

One of my work mates gave me these photos today.

Check out the scrape marks on whats left of the roof. Ouch!

Sweet. You have no idea how long I have been looking for some photos/footage of that smash. :blink:

This is a great thread.. ive also been downloading footage of the gtr's racing in the australian touring car championships from about 1990 to 92.... great to watch them punish the big POS commo's and coons

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.

hah i was only watching the dvd of that the other day, omfg do ya feel like punching the bogans :blink:

This is an excellent thread. I've thoroughly enjoyed the pictures and scans from old magazines. Seeing the first Group A magazine scan as well as the Auto Action cover was a treat. If you have any more Auto Action scans of any of the ATCC rounds, please post them up. You will have a receptive audience - that's for sure!

Thanks also for the pics of the GIO car in Rundle Mall - that looks the real deal and no show car.

Thank you too for the pictures of Skaife's write-off from the 1990 Australian GP. Those two pics are the only ones I have ever seen of it. I have not found any video footage or other visual record of that crash, so seeing that was a real treat. Many many thanks!

In some really sad news, Anders Olofsson has died. He was only 55.

Amongst his many achievements he was a winner of the Spa 24 hours race (in a GT-R), an Swedish F3 champion & won the Japanese Touring Car championship 3 times. He also ran at Bathurst on four occassions for Fred Gibson.

I was incredibly saddened to hear of Anders Oloffson's passing. At such a young age too.

Jetwreck, thanks for the amazing pictures! I don't suppose you have any of the start of the Great Race from 1990, 1991 and 1992 do you?

Also, I am looking for good clear pictures of the interior of the Gibson R32 GT-Rs from when they raced (1990, 1991 and 1992) - and also of Channel 7's Racecam camera. I'd like to see how it was mounted, where precisely it was mounted, the size of the camera, where any cabling went to etc. It's an odd question I know, but this is one detail of the cars that no-one ever mentions and that I don't have any pictures of (unless I took a screen grab from the race coverage...)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
