off topic.......but this clip made me go looking for clips of the gibson 32 gtr. why can't anyone do a 2.12 at bathurst 20yrs on? and even more off topic.....how hard is it to find an old 32 group A car from japan?

What are you talking about?

Lap records for the various racing classes are:

i mean in a 32 gtr. I'm pretty sure the time quoted for skaife is during the race, but one of the gtr's i think was in the 12's in qualifying.

Edit...it was Dick Johnson in the sierra that did a 2:12.898. that's flying.

Still...why can't anyone get their 32's to do 2:14's? (yes i know berry has done a 2:13 in the r34, but that's with modifications outside the rules of 1992....aero, suspension etc).

multi million dollar budget would be stopping most i would think.

people seem to think there is only a small difference between people building race cars in there back yard and cars that are profesionaly built. theres a huge difference. and if you have ever looked at any of the pics most or all of the suspension has been changed. that would factor for a fair bit.

If you were at SAU:NSW Christmas dinner last year with Alan Heaphy and Jim Richards, you'd understand why...

Was Mark (Berry) running full slicks or Semis? That could easily equate to a few seconds, but as has been said, would love to know what Heaphy and Jim had to say, would also love to hear Chubs recollection of the night, apart from the bit where he takes a bloke home...

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
