The 2004 Bob Jane T-Marts Bathurst 1000 was the eighth running of the Australia 1000 race, first held after the organisational split over the Bathurst 1000 that occurred in 1997. The race was staged four days after the 41st anniversary of the original touring car endurance race held at the Mount Panorama Circuit in 1963. It was the 48th race that traces its lineage back to the 1960 Armstrong 500 held at Phillip Island.
It was held on 10 October 2004 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia and was the tenth round of the 2004 V8 Supercar Championship Series.
The race was won by 2003 winners Greg Murphy and Rick Kelly driving a Kmart Racing Team run Holden VY Commodore. It was the sixth consecutive victory for Holden, a new record.
The 2004 race was the 32nd and last Bathurst 500/1000 for nine time race winner Peter Brock. However, he unfortunately did not get to drive in the race. His co-driver in the #05 Holden Racing Team VY Commodore, British driver Jason Plato, crashed heavily on lap 27, putting them out of the race.
