On Sunday 12th August the Hobart Sporting Car Club and the Italian Car Club will be holding a day of Super Sprints at Baskerville Raceway.

This is a great day to thrash your car round a track and have some fun (roll cage is not mandatory)

I beleive there may be some drifting as well, GMB?

Trophies will be awarded for fastest lap times in various classes.

The cost is $60.00 and you must belong to a registered car club to enter.

Regards,

Rod.

I had a good day once i got there, the track is completly diferent to Symmonds, but heaps of fun.

I somehow managed to get driver of the day, pretty stoked with that. And the other Ben (tas_180) got best drifter who drove of the day.

Well done, What times where you doing Ben, I read on n/s that Ben in the 180 did a 101???

So pi$$ed I had to work.

i didn't see my last time sheet, but my best on run 2 was a 1:04.11. But on the last untimed run of the day i recon i was faster, i used diferent lines and gears.

180 ben was doing 1:01's, and so was the other GT-R.

I think a lot of people were very impressed with your efforts out there sav man considering you hadn't even driven the track before. Had some Great speed out of the sweeper then into turn 1. Was good to watch

Well done :nyaanyaa:

Thanks again for those tyres Ben, hopefully i can get them on the rear and allow me to use more than 1mm of throttle out of every corner ;).

For someone who hadnt driven on the track before you picked up the lines very quickly, you definately deserved that trophy mate. Racing against Rod's GTR makes me want a GTR now, damn torque monsters even in mild tune.

The pink XU1 (even though not original) would have to have been my favourite car out of the lot. MMmmm... :D

I didn't go but it seems that GT-R is starting to handle pretty well Rod. :D

Well done, some great times by the sound of it. Not sure I know who Tas_180 is but a great effort also!

Anyone have any official times? eg 1.01.?? (got to keep an eye on my competition ;) )

You guys entering the next hillclimb?

BTW there's an MCC super-sprint on the 19th (unless something's changed) so for those who didn't make it this time here's your chance... ;)

(I won't make this one either)

My best lap was hand timed by the HSCC as 61.7 and by the old girl as 61.6. Rod was around 61 flat from memory.

My car will get smashed to pieces if i enter most hillclimbs. Dont plan on raising the car so dont think ill be seeing many hillclimbs anytime soon.

Wont be out next weekend either, car needs some TLC before it moves again.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
