Rare gem: 1970 Torana GTR-X
The Torana GTR-X, a rare Australian marvel, stands as a testament to ingenuity and automotive artistry. Conceived by GM-H in the late 1960s, this stunning sports car was envisioned to challenge the norms of its time. Boasting a unique combination of a fibreglass body atop a steel “ladder” chassis, reminiscent of the iconic Chevrolet Corvette, the GTR-X exuded both elegance and performance…

So I can sight-read Athian with some difficulty now because I'm fucking insane, and per @cruelfeline's suggestion I checked the torana archive entry. Y'all, it's fascinating. I'm absolutely delighted! :D

There are some words I can't quite make out or that the margins just plain cut off, but I can make a relatively educated guess on a few of them.
"Torana" is misspelled at the top of the left-hand page; it actually says "Trana." I find this amusing :P
"The gate of mind thro[ugh] the Other S[???]"
The diagram is labeled with a T on the far left, A1(number I don't recognize, so it's either 4, 5, or 6) on the smaller circle, D on top of the big circle and Q on the bottom, and on the right side of the circle is four words that I'm reasonably certain are DIST, SPA, TIM, and POW, or distance, space, time, and power
The spiral diagram is labeled Day 2(another number between 4 and 6) at the top, and at the bottom in the middle I think is GP (the G is hard to read and probably isn't even a G) and W on the right
The paragraphs between those two diagrams read (as best I can tell) "It seems that it is pos[sible to] alter the nature of distance [???] through sheer force of will [???]" and "By visualizing where one wi[shes to] be, and firmly fixing that i[mage in] mind, a connection between [our] present location and a des[ired] destination can be establi[shed] [???] "hole" punctured in the v[ery] [???] space."
The diagram at the bottom has ?K at the top (where the ? is a letter I can't read) and P(a third number I don't recognize between 4 and 6) at the bottom
On the right-hand page it says "o[f] ability to exploit this phenomenon improves with [???] [passi]ng day, and we are able to reach ever more [???][ding] locations."
"[???]ingly, the need to clearly visualize the intended [???] seems less important than first imagined."
The diagram below is Q on the left, S in the middle, and L,PM on the right
The last two paragraphs read "While these results are encouraging, the technique will need to be pushed to its very limits if it is to prove the solution to our current crisis of scarcity."
"And as we push, the risks grow ever greater..."
...That's not ominous.
In other news! I've discovered I need a clear, high-res texture of the book Treahy's reading, because it's completely illegible no matter how close I zoom. And unless that's placeholder text like the other sheets I've been translating, I expect it to be fascinating.
Problem is this is the best I've got:

The only thing I can read is the drop-cap letter A below the diagram XD

HQ Holdens and LJ Toranas on the production line in August 1973 at the Holden Acacia Ridge assembly plant in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Plans were set up for the Brisbane plant in July, 1964 to start construction of the $20 million Acacia Ridge plant. On January the 19th, 1965, assembly operations started at Acacia Ridge with the limited assembly of HD Holdens. The Holden Torana was released to the Australian press at Acacia Ridge in September, 1967, and production of the Gemini started in 1975. The plant employed up to1500 workers, and was then to close with the final vehicles coming off the production line at the end of October in 1984
