Google search for "porsche crash phillip island" there you will see a sequence of images, also video, and the Ginetta spearing off into the gravel trap to avoid the incident.
I was driving the dark blue Datsun 280Z, also in shots, all very close indeed!
Yep I saw it down there - thanks to this thread I recognised the car instantly! And I can now cross it off the "never seen one" list... It achieved some pretty good results too, 3rd place behind a Pantera & 911 in the Saturday races.

dat2kman your Z was not too shabby either
