on the bathurst old track, before hulme died, the gtrs ran sub 2:15s, as low as 2:13's which was extremely quick.

The (Winfield) GTR crashed in 92, and as many others had crashed, the race was red flagged, giving the gtr the win.

Awesome stuff, I also want to get hold of the video, so if anyone has an idea as to where to get it, please tell

I think you are getting a bit mixed up. The track was changed in 87 - subsequent to Mike Burgmann's death on Conrod Sraight - not Denny Hulme's. Mike Burgmann was killed when he hit the base of what was then the Dunlop bridge in his VK Commodore. Denny Hulme on the other hand died of a massive heart attack while driving one of the B&H BMW M3's.

The GT-R's, in terms of lap speed, are a long way off the current V8's. Put that down to extra weight, boost restrictions and tyre technology.

One of the guys on SDU put the 90, 91, 92 complete races onto DVD a couple of years back. I have a copy of them but I'm in NZ, Im sure a couple of guys from here bought them. It was 2 discs per race which was digitalised from VCR, which was recorded from the live television coverage over here.

Please pm me if you can help out.

I have 'Bathurst - The Turbolent Years 1986-1992' on DVD. Has all the highlights from Bathurst between those years.

The good ol' days of the DR30s, Corollas, 7M Supras, Jaguars, RX7s, Walkinshaws, Sierras and the mighty Godzillas.....

Good viewing, brings back lots of memories....

I think Mark Skaife was only 19 at the '92 Bathurst race....

I've got the DVD's from Canman on SDU as well (I got his last set). 2 DVD's per race 1990, 1991 & 1992 including all of the pre-race coverage.

I've had some PM's about making copies of these for others. I am more than happy to do this but I am having trouble copying som of the discs. I have tried Nero, DVD Shrink and UltraISO, but they all seem to get stuck part way through.

Any of you guys have a DVD copy program that will copy all bits and/or ignore read errors? The discs are not encrypted, I think there are just some bad sectors.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
