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?

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.

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 :)

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
