The race sheets on my car and Gavins car say that his was the 1986 car, and mine was the 1987 car. Gavins car was originally in the old Peter Jackson colours.

Exactly my point!

Have you got video footage of this car other than at Bathurst, because I have The Great Race Turbolent Era DVD & The Great Race 1987 video and I cant see this car in anything other than Oz delivered S2 tail lights.

And the promo brochure for the '87 #30 car shows it with a front strut brace.

Cheers, D

My car has never been fitted with a front strut brace, coz the roll cage extends into the engine bay and bolts up to the strut towers. My car has a completely different roll cage in it due to it being the only one that ran on radial tyres.

I have seen footage of my car with hotplates. The books on the car (handwrttien Gibson Books) have listed in early 87 when the bootlid was reinforced (the bootlid had the reinforcements cut out for the refuelling spots, and CAMS said it had to have reinforcement when it was scrutineered), and at the same time the lights were changed after a fairly major rhs tap at Amaroo.

Cazz,

I have the promo brochure, with the car in 87 livery & it has a picture of the motor including an strut brace. It may be the year befores picture along with engine specs, but why would FG do that. I don't know, you have seen the pics with your car with hot plate tail lights, but was it your car or Gavin's car, because it is Gavin's car that competed up to Sandown and then Bathurst, as I'm led to believe.

You have all the records, what does the log book say, when did your car compete prior to the Sandown 500 enduro that GF won.

The log book from my car lists the following events. My car only ran for 12 months.

4/10/86 Bathurst

28/2/87 Calder

1/3/87 Calder

7/3/87 Symmonds Plains

4/4/87 Lakeside

4/4/87 Body Thickness test by Scrutineers

26/4/87 Wannaroo

2/5/87 Adeleide International Raceway

16/5/87 Amaroo

17/5/87 Amaroo

30/5/87 Surfers

6/10/87 Sandown

20/6/87 Amaroo

4/7/87 Oran Park

Once apon a time they did

Now that the V8 taxis aren't coming to Perth shouldn't it be renamed the Two Thirds Australian Supercar series ? (by area)

or the 90.23425536623147% Australian Supertaxi Series (by Population) :cool:

Years ago, pre 1996, I saw this car and another heading North towards Gympie. There had been a press report of their sale.

I forgot to say they were on the back of a truck. I remember the Peter Jackson decor.

Doing what you could be doing around Wakefield and enjoying it???????

Must have been a dry day for the GT40 to come out, as it doesn't like the rain. You need a rain coat or umbrella to sit in it when it's raining to stay dry, coz it leaks like a sieve.

And haven't seen an 105E Anglia for years. I used to race against them with 289 V8's in them at Warwick Farm. Was this car V8 powered?

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
