I finally got to a scanner. Here is the article of Paul Gover driving a Gibson Motorsport R31 Skyline from CAR Australia, August 1989 that I promised waaaaay back.

I have just come back from the PI historics. The Group A/C field was huge. The R31 and the Peter Jackson / Ex Seton Sierra were going hard, with the sierra ultimately winning out on sheer speed. The R32 GT-R GIO car was on track, great credit to the guy for putting what is probably a very collectable car at risk in a race environment. Was really just cruising around but good to see it running.

A massive event well worth the trip down to the island.

just noticed in the first vid that Neil Crompton only managed a 14.2 in the R32 GTR...ummm, can somebody please Email that Bozo and tell him how to drive....? This is a guy who used to race in Group A...and thats the best time he could manage....Pathetic...What did he come off the clutch with 900rpm or something ?

Did you see the Jag jump the start in Race 2?

Yeah, that was crazy. The start/finish flag marshall looked to have baulked on the flag drop and off a couple went. Was line ball but you are on a hair trigger for a mass start like that and anything is likely to set you off.

Could see all the officials in the timing towing reinacting the flag drop to justify their actions.

Not sure it any penalties were handed out.

No Penalties....lol.

There were some stern word's with the officials though....everyone was pretty pissed off that it was not a restart or people black flagged though. Pity the Sierra got the jump on us in that race....we might have been able to get him to grenade the motor(overheated due to running on high boost I think) in race 2 instead of race 3....would have given us the most points for the weekend then. Tell you what the BMW boy's had some bad luck all weekend.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      Blue slip

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
