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...)

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
