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

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
