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...)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • 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
