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.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
