G'day all,

First time ive popped into the VIC section!

My reason is im travelling up from good 'ol Hobart to collect my S2 R33 from Holfords motors in spotswood in a few weeks time. I'm just catching a midweek morning flight up to catch the spirit of tas home that night.

As i'm already pushing s*&t uphill to pay for the car, wondering whats the cheapest way to get from tullamarine airport to holfords, ie. bus to CBD first? i mean i wouldnt say no to a pickup :D

Cheers, Bart.

Whereis.com does acctually show the best way and it is relly easy because its all freeways...

but if you looking for a pick up, best to just come out and ask... maybe a small donation for a good samaritan could sway somebody?

:D

Convert the car to a boat less traffic :)

^^^^^^^^Seems everyone has a good idea for the quickest way, anybody done a wreckie and timed it, just teasing.

Cheers Andrew :O

I'm more than willing to reimburse whatever it costs to come pick me up, only trouble is that i dont have an exact date for when the car will be ready, makes it difficult.

Just looking at the calender, it should be ready by the 29th / 30th, anybody free during either one of those mornings?? :O:D

Cheers, Bart.

Did I hear you say you'd be bringing your prospective taxi driver a case of Tasmania's finest brewery goodness as a good will gesture?

I'm sure someone may be able to find themselves running from Tulla to Spotswood during the week for you :laugh:

How much notice will you be able to give? If i have enough notice and no other commitments, i'll give you a lift. Just cover the Airport parking fee, etc, and i'll be happy to help out.

Plan to come to Tassie soon, for a nice week-long drive :), so i'm sure i'll need your help with something :).

Its domestic, hang at the McDonalds and drive up when he rings you. :)

Good offer though. :)

I'll hopefully have a concrete date on monday arvo, id be able to give at least a weeks notice though. Im sure you can be taken on a tour of some of tassies more scenic areas, might give me a chance to take the new car for a decent length drive! You will have a PM monday evening :D

Cheers, Bart.

Just letting you know; on the weekend of the 25th, 26th and 27th i'll be in Shepparton, for SAU VIC's DECA day.

The weekend after (Sat. 2nd September) we have a SAU VIC members cruise (according to the SAU VIC events calender). You have unfortunately picked a busy period to pick up your car.

You mentioned 29th and 30th, these are work days and i will not be able to take time off work, so it all depending on what time you arrive.

Just let me know time and date, and i'll do my best :mad:

Might be a crazy idea but to save you some $$, wouldnt it be easier for someone to put it on the boat this side for you and collect it that end. You then save flights and the logistics of getting from the airport to Spotswood.

I am also assuming you can put a car on a boat with no passenger.

yeah good thinking, but im not sure you can put a car on the boat without a passenger, and id still need to get to devonport somehow to collect it ( i live in hobart). going to collect it is half the experience for me, but just trying to keep costs down.

Cheers, bart

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
