Sorry about the stutter guys,got a very helpful offspring who thinks pushing buttons on the keyboard is fun.I was trying to say I have a stack of the old GTR posters from the Gibson/Winfield days.If anyone is keen I think they can be copied & mounted fairly cheaply these days.Must warn you though,they are reponsible for creating an obsession with these cars.Can email pics if req.Thanks.

Thankyou USER for posting this and thankyou GraemeWi for taking the time to write the history of such a great but also mysterious car to Australians, That post has set a lot of records straight for me because i have spent a lot of time telling a lot of W@NKERS how great the GTR was and still is !!! Now i can just show them.

Thraso. :D

I've got "the great race - the turbolent years" on DVD if anyone wants to borrow it... i might rip the 1991-1993 section onto divx if someone can give me a place to host it.

hmmm Graeme have you considered publishing this? Like in a glossy book with pictures n stuff? (its too short for any other medium)

:) I work in the book industry - I couldn't really afford to do it in print properly. Changing the page size to A5 would make it around 60 pages with no pictures, so padding it out with extra stuff would make it a slim paperback.

I'm still working on the early years 1984-1989 so the page count will go up a fair bit once I finish that section.

I'm a fan of PDF distribution for it, that way people can read it on either paper or screen in a consistant format.

Cheers,

The best I could find was a DVD from Channel 7 called Bathurst 1989-1991 the turbolent years. But even that is a highlights package, not the entire race.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
