furyous

This will be my last posting on this site. I only got into this debate to set a few people straight, which still seems apparent these people just want to argue over something they know very little about. Ive forgotten more about these cars than most of you will ever know. From now on i will keep what i know to my self and ask others to do the same. To fury 30 you know of the history of the car and you dont have to prove nothing to these clowns. Let them drool all over the car when it is restored because thats all they will be able to do. Skylines Rule........

Id just like to say i think its great to see these cars returning to the race tracks. Their are still heaps of old touring cars yet to be found and restored. Some we may have lost forever due to accidents, but other cars that have been converted into sports sedans and the like can still be restored back to Group A spec. This car at the centre of this story is a classic example.

If you think $180,000 is cheap then its a bargain

To Ghostrider just thought i would give you a quick run down on the GMS DR 30 Skylines. Firstly the Nu.30 you are saying is for sale by Terry Ashwood is true but did you know that particular DR30 was the last of the 3 DR 30s Built by GMS. The first DR30 ever built and subsequently used for all other Homogilations was the George Fury car Nu. 30. The second car to be built by GMS was the Nu 15 car for Terry Sheil.These two DRs where the cars that were campained for the 1986 ATCC. GMS supplied local privateer Murray Carter with parts to construct his own DR 30 Touring Car. Furys car Nu. 30 Won 5 ATCC Rounds in 1986 and also won 3 Enduros. The same car won the Sandown 500 with Terry Sheil finishing 2nd in a heavily Damaged Nu. 15. This is were the 3rd of the three DRs constructed by GMS comes in to the story. This 3rd car (Terry Ashwoods Nu.30 thats for sale) was finished 3 days before the 1986 Bathurst 1000. GMS went to Bathurst with a brand new DR 30 which was numbered car 30 and Furys real Nu.30 which was the car that won Sandown was re Numbered 15. The new Nu. 30 was driven by Fury and Seton but failed to finish the 86 Bathurst due to seizing a axle bearing.Terry Sheils DR Nu.15(The original Nu.30) set pole and went on to finish 3rd. This car that you think you khow about is far from its original Group A specs that is true. The previous owner spent over $100,000 to restore the car back to how you seen it in the pitures posted by buzz. This car still has the original rollcage and under carriage. The new hubs you noticed were reconstructed as brand new items when the car was restored in 1997. This is when the motec was fitted and dash logger. The turbo is a GT3040 series with external wastegate and custom built log manifold. As stated by buzz the new owner is having some fun with this original George Fury Skyline before a ground up resto back to 1986 Bathurst Specs. There is another side of these group A that you will never khow about unless you speak to the people that were there eg, Fred Gibson, George Fury, Glen Seton etc,ect. Your knowledge on this subject sounds like it is limited to a few issues of zoom.
