Recommended Posts

The Original GODZILLA is coming out to play again.

Make NO mistake, this IS the actual race car that won Bathurst in 1991 and 1992 - lovingly repaired and restored by Gibson Motorsport and now owned by one of the nicest blokes you would ever meet. He is committed to showcasing the Gibson Collection - so lets all show our appreciation and come and have a look.

When : SUNDAY 8th September 2002

Where : - ORAN PARK

Why : - Because the Owner wants all Nissan fans to be able to enjoy the car and see it (and hear it) in the flesh - And because he wants to go for another drive no doubt. :P

Be there or be a Skoda lover :)

** NOTE **

This is a privately organased Track day thru Unique Auto Sports at Castle hill, so contact them if you need futher information about times and costs etc (I think Spectators would be free)

If you have never heard this race car in action, or seen it in the flesh - HERE IS YOUR CHANCE

Mark,

If you get stuck, then I might be able to come to your rescue, (I live on the Northern Beaches) - if you can make it to Blacktown station, or one of the North Shore line stations I can pick you up there, - dropping you off at Livo shouldn't be a problem though, just getting up earlier in the morning probably will be :P

I'll be along at this one, I want to get the

"unmodified GTS skyline that was faster than all the other modified GTRs on the day"

prize again. http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au/unique_...ersprint_wa.htm

Might leave the Winfield GTR alone though. Don't want to embarrass them and have it off the track for 10 years again...

g'day jason

thanks for the offer mate, much appreciated. i should be getting there with Silver-Arrowz. thanks for the help fellas, being stuck without a licence is gonna be a real hassle!

cheers, MARK

*me hangs head in shame*

That Mx5 had a few nice mods on it too - I wouldn't mind one to thrash around. But that was Luffy driving, I think Paul was acting as ballast.

Duncan, is your R33 the one at Wakefield the weekend before last, running with the competition cars, only to have your Mrs turn around and punt it around with the A class street cars.

That cars a weapon, where did you get your Dunlops from, i know of a place in Blacktown but i dont know of anywhere else so as to compare quotes.

Sure was, I'm not sure what class those cars race in, but they weren't super quick. My best that day was a 1.12.

It was also a pretty short day - the brakes were dead by 11.30 and we couldn't get a spare set in Goulburn....

Also, if anyone has a skyline they don't want, can they give it to Kelly so I can drive mine again? Ever since the Oran Park training I'm having trouble getting the keys out of her hands:D

Tyres - the secret's all in the tyres, they were worth 4 sec+ at Wakefield. They're Dunlop Formula R 235 and 265, and best of all they're road legal so I can put em on at home before I head to the track = less stuffing around once we get there.

I got them from Gary's Motorsport Tyres, they are the NSW Dunlop racing tyre distributors. Got them fitted by Spinning Wheel tyres in East Syd.

Cost all up was $2000 for the 4 new tyres, fitting, balancing etc. Sounds expensive, but in reality is one of the cheapest mods to improve your times by this much!

For sure thats the next mod for my car for Eastern Creek. i cooked my brakes during the last session as well. Funny how i was able to drive home to Windsoe only using the brakes twice.

Got my new 330 x 32mm discs on the front, so with some boost, i/c and Dunlops i hope i can improve on my 1 min 15s @ Wakefield, & 2min 01s at Eastern Creek

If some kind person doesn't take a video camera and then post vids of it theres gonna be hell to pay from all those poor soals who don't live in NSW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beg, beg, grovel, grovel pleasssssssssssssssssssssssssssse take video footage. :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
