great footage george my hero so cool and casual but quick no wonder this car still holds lap record on the old track .

This car was really all the warning that should have been needed that Nissan would sooner or later be an overwhelming force at the mountain.

What ever happened to George Fury....last I saw he was punting the DR30 around in Nissan colours and then seemed to vanish from Australian racing.

this car is not a 2.0lt, it is a 1.8lt, Z18ET engine

is definatly an amazing car, wish i could afford the $220,000 to buy it now.

fred gibson also said at one stage they had an adjustable boost controller hidden inside one of the gauges lol

[mikk999]

@jimmmaaay1 yes, something like the odomoter button could be twisted to control boost. to adjust the ignition there was another knob and the driver would listen to the sound of the engine as the car came down the mountain and adjust it until the engine sounded the smoothest! it's crazy when you compare that to the technology we have these days

[paulaus]

Geez that camera pan is nausea inducing compared to the modern stuff

[avq30r31]

and this car still holds the lap record on the "old" bathurst circuit

priceless video,thanks

[JimdiGris1]

@avq30r31

Holds the qualifying record, not the lap record. lap records are traditionally race times

[improvedae86]

4.30 ," You f**king bastard LOL George

Love how they used the two fire extinguisher rule to full effect on the intercooler during qualifying . Smart people at work there .

[vbvbvb088]

He he - Im guessing they sprayed the turbo / intercooler as much as poss to get 100%+...

[rocamphardy1]

@improvedae86 yeah, I think you may be right... in later years however Peter Brock tried this in His Ford Sierra, and got pinned by the officials for it.. - so they must have banned the practise.
