Rod Markland is the driver and proud owner of this piece of history, the original GIO R32 GTR Gibson Motorsport race car from the old days of Bathurst where the Godzilla's were named, stomping anything in its path.
The Gibson race bread GTR's that gave the GTR Skyline the name "Godzilla". Packing a new Gibson race engine, the GIO R32 hits the dyno for its dyno tune producing a whopping 442kw at all 4 wheel JEM circuit tune.
This car is the real deal and has been kept in pristine condition. The build cost from those days would equate to over $1M by todays currency. The level of engineering in all aspects of this car is amazing even by todays standards nearly 20 years later, air ducting, bracing, coolers, the layout, the ease to work on it, they're just a few of the many admirable things in this car.
This car still battles with the best and is driven like its built to be driven
Rod used to own the Nissan R31 GTS Gibson car, which was putting out 322rwkw on a JEM tune, with a red top RB20DET,
