Southo Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 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. 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/2784-windfield-godzilla-on-the-track-again-in-sydney-sunday-8902/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southo Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/2784-windfield-godzilla-on-the-track-again-in-sydney-sunday-8902/#findComment-49638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 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...

Southo Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 Duncan - Yeah - I noticed you got you butt kicked by the MX-5 though...

Duncan Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 *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.

Roy Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 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.

Duncan Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/2784-windfield-godzilla-on-the-track-again-in-sydney-sunday-8902/#findComment-52637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 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!

Roy Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/2784-windfield-godzilla-on-the-track-again-in-sydney-sunday-8902/#findComment-52856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
