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.

i would love to get a copy off you. happy to cover your costs, postage, time?

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've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
