Car looked mean with the green :Pimp2:  

Hey Stuart is it just me or does the car seem to go better when your behind the wheel???

BOSS OF BASKY, Mark??? :matrix:  

Congrats ont he title Mark, was good to watch a Liner tear it up against the rest of the rubbish that was out there on the track (must of been embarrassing for them really to go up against such a fine/prestige motor vehicle) :uh-huh:

Thanks, I am giving Benno and boys a hard time about my win as Benno couldn't beat some bucket of puss Torana last season and kept telling everyone how good he is.

On the perception of car speed, you have obviously been misled by the Benno self publicity machine! He never tells anyone that he didn't have to race outright against the quick cars like myself previously, taking the soft option of Group B(which he didn't win) and that he got Andrew Kuc to give him an extra 30kw at the wheels as well just to make sure.

Two important facts that the world needs to know!!

I managed a 61.2 last Sunday and my total race times were over 5 seconds faster, which is faster than the Blonde Boy Wonder has gone around there in anything!! Not bad seeing I was lying in bed with a broken neck this time last year after our crash in Targa (Benno loves it when I talk about the neck!!)

He might be quicker, who knows. We'll find out when/if he brings the GTR out to play??

In the meantime, 2-1st's, 3-2nd's, 2-3rd's and a 4th from 8 starts means that I'm the Boss of Targa Class and I had to beat much better cars than Benno has ever raced against.

Lastly, I'm also leading the CAMS State Series for Targa Cars by 5 points from not one but two Porsche's!! Go the Skyline, complete with tiny RB20 running a meagre 170kw at the wheels!!

Good luck this weekend Benno, please don't crash

How did you go??

Benno went pretty good for a first up. Was running 5th before a minor off caused some intercooler problems putting them out. Ran at a good pace yesterday annd made sure that the Skyline Brigade was well represented.

He's back tomorrow so no doubt will post a full report in the coming days for anyone who's interested.

The sad news is the Skyline `Reign of Terror' came to an end and Porsche are back in town, at least until next we meet at Rally Tas 2006!!

We were seeded 18th for Leg One, on the first stage we ran the 8th quickest time, then that again on the next. Without actually knowing where we sat I pushed on and we got a bit quicker with consistently running the 5th quickest times. I was surprised by this at lunch and would have been happy to maintain the pace, which we did for the rest of the afternoon until a Left 2 that went from dry to damp to wet bought me undone. I couldn't grab the rear in time and we went around, but the time we stopped I had washed off most of the speed and just touched the dirt bank at no more than 5-6k's. That was enough to bust the headlight on the right side and push the bumper back enough to pull the intercooler hose off and strip the thread on the hose clamp. We went back continued on to service (at the end of the stage) but found the only way to fix it was to pull the bumper off. By the time we had fixed the clamp and re-installed the bumper we were out of service and late time so withdrew from the day and transported back to Burnie.

We restarted the next day seeded 9th but with knackered brakes so used the day as practice. Not sure how our times looked for that day, but they would have been well of, we were loosing at least 1-1.5sec a corner, but it was fun.

Have now organised some bigger front brakes and better intercooler hose clamps so can't wait for Rally Tasmania in Feb. I'll run it in the Minna Rd and Domain Hillclimbs between there and now and maybe a round of the Octagon Series.

In responce to 26motorsports's claims.....

Its true, I mean how could the an R32 GTSt 1200kg/199kws beat a Holden Torana with a 6 litre engine producing 350kw (at the wheels), but of course it did, repeatedly, particularly the longer 15 lap races, three out of four from memory... Perhaps not in outright speed, but by the rules of the game!

Contrary to what Mark says, I did in fact win the TDRC Octagon Series - Targa Tasmania Group B, ask Jim Richards…. he was at the dinner and presented me with the trophy from memory!!.... big golen cup, perhaps 26motorsport is talking about the glass trophies?! (have got a couple of those from the rounds too!!)

The car had 199kws when I had, and that was just with some new spark plugs!…. It even had that when I gave it back…who knows that you have done to it since then, oh that’s right, you striped a heap more weight out of the car, that’s probably why its going faster!!

To settle this once and for all I think we need the Benno v Perrywinkle Battle!!

Ps. I went around Basky with a .59 in a GT3….. sorry, did I have to be driving it?!!

Pps. Where were Whitey, Laws, PJ, Keytesie and Greg in the points score when you won Boss of Baskerville again?.... sorry, but did they even enter?

;)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      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!

      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!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      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.
