Well this is really 31Gun's place to post up - but he's at work and I just got off the phone from talking to him. And as always, he's giggling like a little schoolgirl, at the thought of and sheer excitement that this weekend, at the 2007 AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR MASTERS, there will be 3 Gibson Motorsport HR31 Coupes out on the Track. Rod Markland and Tony LaRosa (spelling??) have only gotten their cars back together on Wednesday to be at this event. Rod Markland even blew a BRAND NEW turbo in the dyno. Anyway all is fixed. Also, Rod Markland will be out there in his trusty old 31.

This will be a sight to remember - Hooksy informs me it will be the first time since 1989 that the 3 coupes will be out on the track together. For any guys in Sydney, get out there and have a look!!!

I'll be there sometime on Saturday. my number is 0402 287 773. Hooksy (31Gun) will be there ALL weekend. his # is 0405 279 725.

THE 31s WILL BE AT GARAGE # 36

Also, FRED GIBSON will be there on Sunday. I've said it before and I'll say it again, do not miss the opportunity to have a chat with this guy. He is more than happy to have a chat about the old days of Gibson Motorsport racing. The bluebird, the exa, the 31s, the gtr, you name it. He really does enjoy talking about it. If you need a conversation starter, ask him "is it true about Mark Skaife driving around an Australia R31 Sedan with a turbo whacked onto the side of the donk, that he later crashed??". This should see you get about 30 mins conversation out of him :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
