An Evening With Jim Richards And Fred Gibson - 18Th July


Recommended Posts

Proudly bought to you by Shanons insurance, QLD Raceway and SAU QLD

A once in a lifetime opportunity has been presented to the club to co host a banquet evening with guest speakers in the persons of Jim Richards and Fred Gibson. As most of you are aware Jim drove the all conquering gtr's to unparalelled success in the early 90's capturing drivers championships and Bathurst wins along the way.
These amazing race cars were prepared by none other than Fred Gibson and his team to a standard not found even in Japan at the time.

It is doubtful that there would be a skyline following to the extent we enjoy today without these guys lighting up Australian racetracks and the imagination of car enthusiasts like ourselves so come along and relive the part of Australian motor sport history that inspired a good many of us to follow the skyline marque.

WHAT...An evening with Jim and Fred including a banquet dinner and oratory by both Jim and Fred.

WHEN...thursday 18th July 7pm

WHERE....The function room at Lakeside Raceway.

COST.... Members $50.00 Non members $80.00

DRESS....Neat casual

130 seats are available so first in best dressed. Anyone is welcome so bring your friends and or family along for what will be a memorable evening.

As an added attraction Shanons have offerred a very special prize to one lucky winner. Anyone who gets an insurance quote from shanons on the night will go in to a draw to win...wait for it......HOT LAPS IN THE WINFIELD GTR WITH JIM DRIVING..... How good would that be.
Jim is in town courtesy of Shanons for the lakeside classic on that weekend 20th/21st July (2days after the banquet) the prize winner must be availalble at the time to claim the ride.

The club has been invited to be the feature club on the Sunday for the event. We have been asked to fill the apron in front of the function room with skylines so make them shine and come along, all skylines are welcome.
This will also be a great opportunity for the club to promote itself to the public. There will be a big crowd on hand if last years classic is anything to go by.

Remember first in best dressed.

Sincere Congrats re: stitching this up! You'll have a wonderful evening - and most memorable.

Our 2010 & 2011 ones were sellouts as yours I'm sure, will be :)

There must be more people interested in this than just a handful. This is the heart and soul of Nissan Motorsport in Australia we are talking about here guys and gals, it doesn't get much better than this!

Workshops will buy tables of 10 and the boss claims it on his tax.

(This is how Steve-0 and I sold 70 in 5 days)

Ideal time to market this idea with 3 weeks to go before June 30.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
