They are all cool, and I was checking out your PF50 on ozgemini just the other day. That car has a lot of good stuff on it that didn't come out on the aussie ones until later if at all. Nice genuine PF50, too 8-)

Nice pf60. What engine is it running? Standard gear for a Gemini or the G200W engine?

Welcome aboard too, a lot of us here have Gemini's as well, from TX coupes, TD panel vans to TG sedans and everything in between :) Nothing like a CDT coupe though!

Hey dude,

I was the guy that PM'd you the other day on some forum (was it JGSA? Or Japanese Nostalgic Car? I can't remember!) saying that I thought your black coupe was horn. I stand by my statement!

Also was your PF50 Joe Lipsons old car? I seem to remember he had one... or perhaps I was just thinking of your car the whole time (back from the old HotGemini days).

Cheers,

Dave

thanks guy's
brett i'll remember that lol
antus yep the pf50 has a few things that we never got according to the info i have it's an optioned up gemini lt has a factory tacho and center consol guages the interior has a much better quality vynil and a lot more sound deadening.

2ldohc the pf60 is at the moment running a stock g180z but will eventually run a full race g180z because of the restrictions in groupc this is the motor that it's homologated with (pf50's were also alowed to run as well as two zz/r's).
the historic groupc class the cars have to be original ones and run in the condition that they raced in.

dave ahh i remember it was on jnc ,yes the pf50 was joe lipsons car i just recently bought it of rick ludgate.
it's currently in pieces in my garage,where i'm finding rust in places i'd never look for in an aussie car but my panel beating mate recons we can fix it.

You better be careful if you hang around here for to long you might end up with a Bellett to add to your collection.

Would love to see some interior pics of the PF50. Welcome to the Forum.

the interior is out of it at the moment as we needed to find out where the rust was.
all the gauges are factory fitted from what i can tell,and the seats are of a much better quality vinyl than the local cars.

Bummer dude! The ZZ/Z sits pretty tuff - that'll find a home in no time!

I hope the PF50 returns to the road - make sure it doesn't get wrecked out! NOOOOOOOOO!

well the day finally came,we started pulling apart the pf60 :o and so far no real surprises the rust we knew was there isnt as bad as we thought,and things over all seem pretty good.
this weekend we will finish pulling it apart then formulate a plan to get it back where it belongs and shiny as well :lol:
