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 :)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
