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.

try IsoBuster or UltraIso Dirk

when you are done add me to the list of people who want copies :)

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.

2min 12sec in 1992 -- from a 1600kg , boost restricted, little development time car

thats only 4sec/lap slower......in 13years!

From memory they were 1500kg. They had also had two and a half years of development put into them - basically with Winfield & Nissan money behind them money was not a object for GMS at the time. By way of comparison they were still appreciably faster than the four V8's entered that year. (Two for HRT, one for Brock, one for Glenn Seton)

The best bit was after spending the lead up to the race whingeing about how the cars would be unsafe at 1500kg Freddie Gibson had to do an about face & convince CAMS that his cars were safe to enter the race...

One of the guys over here wants to borrow mine to get a copy, so I'll see how he goes copying them and let you know. I don't know much about computers and that sort of thing, and I don't have a DVD burner so I can't try it myself

that would be awesome. I'm happy to pay what ever it takes!

I've seen the 'turbolent era' video and to be honest it's pretty average. I would much rather have this tape of the whole races :)

Glen Seton in a Commodore?

And going back to the 92 race, it was as a shame the race was stopped as the 2nd GTR with Crompton and Ollofsen (spelling) were in 3rd only 10-15 seconds behind Johnson and they were already on wets. Old Crompo would have won Bathurst if it didnt get flagged

Glenn Seton was driving a Falcon with Allan Jones, sponsored by Peter Jackson. He won the Touring Car championship the following year in it.

DVD decripter is the program you want.

I wouldn't mind a copy aswell. PM me if you get them copied.

I was lucky enought to hear one of the GT-R's at idle three or so years ago.  I went to the bathurst 24hr where they had one of the GT-R's out in the car park. 

They are a serious bit of kit and sound awesome.  So much harder than any GT-R I have ever heard.

9.4 to 1 compression ratio helps.

The recent track resurfacing and the current race tyre technology would see a good 6 second per lap improvement. Then there is the current minimum weight of 1355kgs, the V8SuperCars would get lapped 4 to 5 times in the 1,000k's.

And that my friends is why they don't let GTR's race with the Commondoors and Foulcans. The severe ass whipping would be very embarasing.

But fear not, you can see the R32GTR's whooping it up against the pushrod dinosaurs 6 times a year. Thanks to Duncan and the Man in Bulk (the current NSW Combined Touring State Champion).

:) cheers :)

The other Gibson car is owned by Terry Ashwood in the NSW club, he gets it out and about in it a fair bit which is great....group A historic races. He also has the skaife R31 and the Gibson Exa, the fury bluebird etc etc etc

drunken, any ideas what someone would pay for the fox or ashwood GTR? also I take it the GIO car isnt around anymore? and I think there might be 1 more? but Im not sure....

was the ashwood one in the condition it is in when bought? or did he bring it up to that show car standard?

ok the envy....

Absolutely no idea of the cost...the mind boggles....collectable race cars demand huge prices, but at the other end of the scale cars with no history or impact on racing are basically worthless....eg you can buy an late 90s supercar for under $30k.

Terry bought pretty much the whole Gibson collection, so maybe he got a small discount :O I'm pretty sure the EXA needed restoring as it arrived crumpled from the big crash it had, not sure about the others.

But Terry has been very accessible and willing to come along to club events, so ask him sometime :(

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
