off topic.......but this clip made me go looking for clips of the gibson 32 gtr. why can't anyone do a 2.12 at bathurst 20yrs on? and even more off topic.....how hard is it to find an old 32 group A car from japan?

What are you talking about?

Lap records for the various racing classes are:

i mean in a 32 gtr. I'm pretty sure the time quoted for skaife is during the race, but one of the gtr's i think was in the 12's in qualifying.

Edit...it was Dick Johnson in the sierra that did a 2:12.898. that's flying.

Still...why can't anyone get their 32's to do 2:14's? (yes i know berry has done a 2:13 in the r34, but that's with modifications outside the rules of 1992....aero, suspension etc).

multi million dollar budget would be stopping most i would think.

people seem to think there is only a small difference between people building race cars in there back yard and cars that are profesionaly built. theres a huge difference. and if you have ever looked at any of the pics most or all of the suspension has been changed. that would factor for a fair bit.

If you were at SAU:NSW Christmas dinner last year with Alan Heaphy and Jim Richards, you'd understand why...

Was Mark (Berry) running full slicks or Semis? That could easily equate to a few seconds, but as has been said, would love to know what Heaphy and Jim had to say, would also love to hear Chubs recollection of the night, apart from the bit where he takes a bloke home...

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
