Congrats. That's fantastic news. The only person happier than you would be your dad I'm guessing.

Are you guy's coming to SA for the Skyline Nationals?

If you don't mind me asking, who bought the 31?

Cheers

It's great to know the GIO car has been retained in good hands and will see some track action. I was due to fly down and go to the PI Historics but the arrival of a first born focusses priorities somewhat.... Nonetheless, it'll be great seeing the GIO car out on track again. Congrats on the purchase! :)

So he new owner of the 31 is the current owner of the Sizzler car....which are for sale ????

The owner of the Sizzler car(Chris Larrosa for now :P ) owns the last of the R31's as well. Our 31 has gone to a guy by the name of Cary Mc??????. Should have his first race at Lakeside.

FYI, Lakeside should be getting the Winfield and GIO R32, R31, DR30( :cool: ) and possibly the Bluebird this year.

I heard it reported that Terry thought AUD$2.5 million was what the #1 Winfield was worth to him due to the car's notoriety as well as success as a Bathurst winner. Doesn't matter how much it may or may nnot worth - the car is irreplaceable (as are all Bathurst winners) and I'd never have enough money to prise it out of his ownership anyway! The GIO car was on ebay before it was bought by Jetwreck. I hope he got the GIO 'transporter' as part of the price because from memory, the transporter was not going to be let go as part of the cost, but required extra.

Mate I don't own it.....sort of......Dad has the title atm....sort of......but if he met with a sudden accident :( ....lol......I just get to look after, work on and race the toy's with him.....sort of a father son thing(yes we are both absolute car nuts).

This year though it looks like I will be racing the DR30 for an investor....still pinching myself on that one.

The price of the GIO car was about half way to a 7 figure digit with a brand new crate motor and crate gearbox with transfer case plus a whole load of other spares. We set up the sale of his transporter and tow car to the new owner of our old R31(I am going to miss the R31 :( )so we didn't have to take that.

As for the price of the #5 GMS R32....I guess that comes down to if Terry Ashwood wanted to sell it....atm moment he doesn't so the price would be quite high.

I envy your position...your family is sooo lucky to own such a piece of history :(

1 of my mates who is a mechanic @ at bmw knows of a guy who owns a r32gtr, I think he said it was a pace car painted red and the guy lives in bowral, loves his piss and in his 60's (maybe this is you dad)?

He parks the thing under a carport as he has no space

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
