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

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
