Recommended Posts

The Original GODZILLA is coming out to play again.

Make NO mistake, this IS the actual race car that won Bathurst in 1991 and 1992 - lovingly repaired and restored by Gibson Motorsport and now owned by one of the nicest blokes you would ever meet. He is committed to showcasing the Gibson Collection - so lets all show our appreciation and come and have a look.

When : SUNDAY 8th September 2002

Where : - ORAN PARK

Why : - Because the Owner wants all Nissan fans to be able to enjoy the car and see it (and hear it) in the flesh - And because he wants to go for another drive no doubt. :P

Be there or be a Skoda lover :)

** NOTE **

This is a privately organased Track day thru Unique Auto Sports at Castle hill, so contact them if you need futher information about times and costs etc (I think Spectators would be free)

If you have never heard this race car in action, or seen it in the flesh - HERE IS YOUR CHANCE

Mark,

If you get stuck, then I might be able to come to your rescue, (I live on the Northern Beaches) - if you can make it to Blacktown station, or one of the North Shore line stations I can pick you up there, - dropping you off at Livo shouldn't be a problem though, just getting up earlier in the morning probably will be :P

I'll be along at this one, I want to get the

"unmodified GTS skyline that was faster than all the other modified GTRs on the day"

prize again. http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au/unique_...ersprint_wa.htm

Might leave the Winfield GTR alone though. Don't want to embarrass them and have it off the track for 10 years again...

g'day jason

thanks for the offer mate, much appreciated. i should be getting there with Silver-Arrowz. thanks for the help fellas, being stuck without a licence is gonna be a real hassle!

cheers, MARK

*me hangs head in shame*

That Mx5 had a few nice mods on it too - I wouldn't mind one to thrash around. But that was Luffy driving, I think Paul was acting as ballast.

Duncan, is your R33 the one at Wakefield the weekend before last, running with the competition cars, only to have your Mrs turn around and punt it around with the A class street cars.

That cars a weapon, where did you get your Dunlops from, i know of a place in Blacktown but i dont know of anywhere else so as to compare quotes.

Sure was, I'm not sure what class those cars race in, but they weren't super quick. My best that day was a 1.12.

It was also a pretty short day - the brakes were dead by 11.30 and we couldn't get a spare set in Goulburn....

Also, if anyone has a skyline they don't want, can they give it to Kelly so I can drive mine again? Ever since the Oran Park training I'm having trouble getting the keys out of her hands:D

Tyres - the secret's all in the tyres, they were worth 4 sec+ at Wakefield. They're Dunlop Formula R 235 and 265, and best of all they're road legal so I can put em on at home before I head to the track = less stuffing around once we get there.

I got them from Gary's Motorsport Tyres, they are the NSW Dunlop racing tyre distributors. Got them fitted by Spinning Wheel tyres in East Syd.

Cost all up was $2000 for the 4 new tyres, fitting, balancing etc. Sounds expensive, but in reality is one of the cheapest mods to improve your times by this much!

For sure thats the next mod for my car for Eastern Creek. i cooked my brakes during the last session as well. Funny how i was able to drive home to Windsoe only using the brakes twice.

Got my new 330 x 32mm discs on the front, so with some boost, i/c and Dunlops i hope i can improve on my 1 min 15s @ Wakefield, & 2min 01s at Eastern Creek

If some kind person doesn't take a video camera and then post vids of it theres gonna be hell to pay from all those poor soals who don't live in NSW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beg, beg, grovel, grovel pleasssssssssssssssssssssssssssse take video footage. :D

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
