This Sunday is round four of the Octagon Series at Baskerville.

So far the Skylines entered are a bit lean with a few missing, but still a good mix anyway...

Group A

29 - Rodney Willits - R32 GTR

81 - David Ayers - R33 GTR V-Spec

62 - Stuart Benson - R32 GTR V-Spec II (Don't expect anything to much from me though!!)

Targa Group B

18 - Kerry Kuck - R32 GTSt M-Spec

26 - Mark Perry - R32 GTSt M-Spec (10 points if you can actually read the signwritting)

Plenty of other machinery too with Greg Garwood's 996 Turbo doing battle the wild Targa Torana's of Peter O'Keefe and Kim Barwick. Laurie Williams is running his 20B RX7, there is a coupe of Evo's running too, as well as an STi, RX7 SP, Integra Type R and the ex-Peter Fitzgerald GTP Porsche 968 Turbo RS being run by Mark Connolley from Melbourne. Very cool car and is an awesome thing to drive.

Looks coming out for a look?

Wasn't a bad day at baskerville today, a few skylines on track, it was hot as weather... loved the ICS R33 it sounded sweet as!

also a heap of nice imports cruzin around hobart this arvo...

i was followng a real nice white R32 GTR AND R33 GTR with r34 gtr wheels... anyone on here?

cheers...Luke

Apologies for my dismal performance! Water temp was the main cause of my problems. Investigating a new radiator and thermostat already. That said, the day did give me a good chance to bed-in and suss out my new front brakes, which I cam very very happy with... except now I would really like to even out the braking force and therefore need a rear upgrade too!

Contrags to Mark Perry (26motorsport) on winning Group B in the GTSt.

sav man - Pretty much OK for Targa as is. I ran it at Rallye Burnie back in June and they have the same technical rules. The current rear muffler is oversized for Targa, but its too loud in the car anyway so I'm swapping that over soon.

Does this hit the track much? sounds interesting

Its been at the last three Octagon Series rounds and Laurie Williams who owns it wants to run it on the mainland in Sports Sedans....but its still full steel body.

And i think if it runs like it did then he may have a chance over there as well considering the weight of it still!!!!

Mark gets driver of the day and class win again :)

SKYLINE POWER thats all i have to say, and his excellent pit crew :lol:

Hopefully get a few more of us there next season to represent and take it to the older fellas :D

Was a good day racing and look forward to Symmonds now

Cheers B

dunno if i would be elligible for octagon B, but im more than happy to help in the pits for you :)

maybe we can get the kart out :)

or just do club days

My plan is to start with club days and get as much track time as i can so i can get the best set up for the blue pig.

Then it will be Class C next year :)

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
