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 :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
