Steve has done some homework for us (much appreciated it is Steve for making the phone calls)

So 1stly, does anyone have a copy of the GTR going around Bathurst at all?

To possibly show at MAS with the car ?

2ndly, - this is steves bit and im just relaying the words

Channel 7 have said that it is not upto them if we display it.

It is upto the distributor of the DVD itself.

So, if anyone has footage of the race.

Please put your hand in the air :wavey: and let us know.

Then one of us will contact the distributor to find out if we can show it or not.

It would be great to have footage of the car i think.

I have a VHS of the 1992 race where Richards called the crowd "a pack of assholes". Maybe capture it if that's the best we can find. DVD would obviously be much better.

HEHE I remember watching that live.

We gotta have richards calling the holden and ford supports assholes on repeat.

um, where u get your hands on the gibson car.. got a link where i can read more about this years mas?

probably one of the 15 threads that have been in this section in the past 2 weks would be a good idea :)

If they aint on page one, they will be on page two/three.

dont tell me ya missed ALL the threads?

anyhow, Shan, we just need top contact the distributor of the DVD.

why convert it to DIVX though?

just run the DVD as it is, provided we get approval

i'm cool wid dat... I assumed it was a channel 7 thing coz its their footage...

any luck contacting channel 7 askin em for footage or is it all tied up in distribution rights?

Its got all highlights tho... including Skaife calling the crowd a bunch of arseholes :)

Do you ever read the ORIGIANL POST? :slap:

it's got nothing to do with Channel 7. It's all to do with the distributors now.

Read my post. Steve called Channel 7 etc

i dont think the distributor will worry but we do need to contact them to be sure, i mean its gonna be on show at autosalon with the actual car, why wouldn't they want it showed? but we do need to obtain premission.

ok so does someone have a copy of the dvd or de we need to buy it?  

ash i think he was saying convert it to divx as preview so we can be sure its the right one etc, is that right??

As shan posted... he has got it.

I've got the DVD containing highlights of bathurst races from 1989 to 1992. Has clips of the GTR and the R31 GTS-R etc.

So he has it... in DVD

NFI where the DivX comes into it. More work for himself :)

Just call the distributor. Get thier approval, and we use it :)

nice and easy i think.

it's got nothing to do with Channel 7. It's all to do with the distributors now.

Read my post. Steve called Channel 7 etc

Errr u c0cksmoker.... What I asked was, have you approached channel 7 about aquiring the footage directly from them, or have they sold the distribution rights to a specific company, therefore they cannot release it direct to the public?

And yes I do have the DVD. Will bring it next meeting and you can all review it.

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
