Hi,

Hi Guys,

[BNCR32]

Sorry about the stutter guys,got a very helpful offspring who thinks pushing buttons on the keyboard is fun.I was trying to say I have a stack of the old GTR posters from the Gibson/Winfield days.If anyone is keen I think they can be copied & mounted fairly cheaply these days.Must warn you though,they are reponsible for creating an obsession with these cars.Can email pics if req.Thanks.

Thankyou USER for posting this and thankyou GraemeWi for taking the time to write the history of such a great but also mysterious car to Australians, That post has set a lot of records straight for me because i have spent a lot of time telling a lot of W@NKERS how great the GTR was and still is !!! Now i can just show them.

Thraso.

I've got "the great race - the turbolent years" on DVD if anyone wants to borrow it... i might rip the 1991-1993 section onto divx if someone can give me a place to host it.

hmmm Graeme have you considered publishing this? Like in a glossy book with pictures n stuff? (its too short for any other medium)

I work in the book industry - I couldn't really afford to do it in print properly. Changing the page size to A5 would make it around 60 pages with no pictures, so padding it out with extra stuff would make it a slim paperback.

I'm still working on the early years 1984-1989 so the page count will go up a fair bit once I finish that section.

I'm a fan of PDF distribution for it, that way people can read it on either paper or screen in a consistant format.

Cheers,

G

There is a place in Hurstville in sydney called The GP shop. They have a heap of old touring car posters including a few of the skylines.

THere is a tid bit of info on the R31 Gibson cars in the Zoom article in issue 39 (Maroon Subzero R33 on the cover).

Other articles on Gibson Nissans:

Issue 49- Gibson R32 GTR

Issue 55- Gibson Bluebird

Also the N12 Exa is in one of them.

Anyone know anywhere good?

[funkymonkey]

The best I could find was a DVD from Channel 7 called Bathurst 1989-1991 the turbolent years. But even that is a highlights package, not the entire race.

[LastTemptation]

were there any r32' gtrs sold officially in austrlia, like locally? we are having an argument trying to figure out with a couple of friends! Anyone know?
