I finally got to a scanner. Here is the article of Paul Gover driving a Gibson Motorsport R31 Skyline from CAR Australia, August 1989 that I promised waaaaay back.

Don't know where to post this so doing it here.

For those Victorians out there or those who like to travel. The Group A's will be racing at Phillip Island March the 8th and 9th. At the moment 1 R31, 1 R32, 1 Sierra, 1 BMW(maybe 2) a couple of VL's and the Group C's. 24 or 25 car's in total.

cheers

I have just come back from the PI historics. The Group A/C field was huge. The R31 and the Peter Jackson / Ex Seton Sierra were going hard, with the sierra ultimately winning out on sheer speed. The R32 GT-R GIO car was on track, great credit to the guy for putting what is probably a very collectable car at risk in a race environment. Was really just cruising around but good to see it running.

A massive event well worth the trip down to the island.

just noticed in the first vid that Neil Crompton only managed a 14.2 in the R32 GTR...ummm, can somebody please Email that Bozo and tell him how to drive....? This is a guy who used to race in Group A...and thats the best time he could manage....Pathetic...What did he come off the clutch with 900rpm or something ?

Did you see the Jag jump the start in Race 2?

Yeah, that was crazy. The start/finish flag marshall looked to have baulked on the flag drop and off a couple went. Was line ball but you are on a hair trigger for a mass start like that and anything is likely to set you off.

Could see all the officials in the timing towing reinacting the flag drop to justify their actions.

Not sure it any penalties were handed out.

No Penalties....lol.

There were some stern word's with the officials though....everyone was pretty pissed off that it was not a restart or people black flagged though. Pity the Sierra got the jump on us in that race....we might have been able to get him to grenade the motor(overheated due to running on high boost I think) in race 2 instead of race 3....would have given us the most points for the weekend then. Tell you what the BMW boy's had some bad luck all weekend.

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
