R32 Gtr At Bathurst

[gts4-skyline]

One of the guys over here wants to borrow mine to get a copy, so I'll see how he goes copying them and let you know. I don't know much about computers and that sort of thing, and I don't have a DVD burner so I can't try it myself

[Nexus9]

I've got the DVD's from Canman on SDU as well (I got his last set). 2 DVD's per race 1990, 1991 & 1992 including all of the pre-race coverage.

I've had some PM's about making copies of these for others. I am more than happy to do this but I am having trouble copying som of the discs. I have tried Nero, DVD Shrink and UltraISO, but they all seem to get stuck part way through.

Any of you guys have a DVD copy program that will copy all bits and/or ignore read errors? The discs are not encrypted, I think there are just some bad sectors.

try IsoBuster or UltraIso Dirk

when you are done add me to the list of people who want copies

[Sarumatix]

Put me on the list damn it I been looking for this stuff for ages!

The GT-R's, in terms of lap speed, are a long way off the current V8's.  Put that down to extra weight, boost restrictions and tyre technology.

2min 12sec in 1992 -- from a 1600kg , boost restricted, little development time car

thats only 4sec/lap slower......in 13years!

I was lucky enought to hear one of the GT-R's at idle three or so years ago. I went to the bathurst 24hr where they had one of the GT-R's out in the car park.

They are a serious bit of kit and sound awesome. So much harder than any GT-R I have ever heard.

From memory they were 1500kg. They had also had two and a half years of development put into them - basically with Winfield & Nissan money behind them money was not a object for GMS at the time. By way of comparison they were still appreciably faster than the four V8's entered that year. (Two for HRT, one for Brock, one for Glenn Seton)

The best bit was after spending the lead up to the race whingeing about how the cars would be unsafe at 1500kg Freddie Gibson had to do an about face & convince CAMS that his cars were safe to enter the race...

that would be awesome. I'm happy to pay what ever it takes!

I've seen the 'turbolent era' video and to be honest it's pretty average. I would much rather have this tape of the whole races

[WazR32GTSt]

i am also keen for some footage, please include me in the DVD action! (warren_clements at hotmail.com or PM here)

Glen Seton in a Commodore?

And going back to the 92 race, it was as a shame the race was stopped as the 2nd GTR with Crompton and Ollofsen (spelling) were in 3rd only 10-15 seconds behind Johnson and they were already on wets. Old Crompo would have won Bathurst if it didnt get flagged

Stole from the Commo vs Skyline thread....Short vid with GTR on conrod straight pullin away from the Big V8's B)

Glenn Seton was driving a Falcon with Allan Jones, sponsored by Peter Jackson. He won the Touring Car championship the following year in it.

DVD decripter is the program you want.

I wouldn't mind a copy aswell. PM me if you get them copied.

9.4 to 1 compression ratio helps.

The recent track resurfacing and the current race tyre technology would see a good 6 second per lap improvement. Then there is the current minimum weight of 1355kgs, the V8SuperCars would get lapped 4 to 5 times in the 1,000k's.

And that my friends is why they don't let GTR's race with the Commondoors and Foulcans. The severe ass whipping would be very embarasing.

But fear not, you can see the R32GTR's whooping it up against the pushrod dinosaurs 6 times a year. Thanks to Duncan and the Man in Bulk (the current NSW Combined Touring State Champion).

cheers

does anyone know what happened to the other race GT-Rs we know of the winfield car being owned by Mr Fox.... and beautiful it is!

but what about the GIO car and other gibbo cars?

[Duncan]

The other Gibson car is owned by Terry Ashwood in the NSW club, he gets it out and about in it a fair bit which is great....group A historic races. He also has the skaife R31 and the Gibson Exa, the fury bluebird etc etc etc

[williamsf1]

drunken, any ideas what someone would pay for the fox or ashwood GTR? also I take it the GIO car isnt around anymore? and I think there might be 1 more? but Im not sure....

was the ashwood one in the condition it is in when bought? or did he bring it up to that show car standard?

ok the envy....

[Duncan]

Absolutely no idea of the cost...the mind boggles....collectable race cars demand huge prices, but at the other end of the scale cars with no history or impact on racing are basically worthless....eg you can buy an late 90s supercar for under $30k.

Terry bought pretty much the whole Gibson collection, so maybe he got a small discount I'm pretty sure the EXA needed restoring as it arrived crumpled from the big crash it had, not sure about the others.

But Terry has been very accessible and willing to come along to club events, so ask him sometime

[siddr20]

hmm so why did they take the gtrs off the bathurst??

God VS Rat...
