Hey guys, I'll be moving from sydney to hobart in about 5 weeks and will most probably be driving down and then catching the ferry. Just got a few questions before i do the trip.

1) How much does it cost to put my car on the ferry from vic?

2) After reading another post from 2004 it seems like there was no 98RON feul there. Is there any now? If not what do you guys do about getting petrol that the car will run good with?

Thanks guys.

The spirit is an overnight trip, they start unloading at 7:00 in the morning.

Just found the site then. I can't believe it's cheaper for my car than it is for me to go. Can i sit in my car on the trip so it's for free???? :)

mmmmmm, big skylines tasmania welcoming cruise perhaps???

I'm up for that. Will give me a chance to see the place and meet some of you guys. I will post up when i will be there when i actually have a confirmed date. It should be before the 2nd of april i think.

What will you be doing in hobart?

I just started working for the ABC and they wan't me to go to a smaller branch so i get more hands on work with the equipment and be in a more friendly environment than here in Sydney. One of my trainers is from hobart and was saying how nice the view is from his house. Sounds like a really nice place down there. Can't wait to go.

- I once met a couple who moved down from sydney not really knowing what to expect, I was chatting to him while she read the paper, she let out a rather loud "S**T!... the average temperature in summer is 16 degrees!" poor lady was nearly in tears.

Nice place tho, you will like the twisty roads - one of my favourites is 10 minutes from where I live :happy:

Hahahaha.

Thats what my girlfriend said when i said we are going to Hobart. She is coming aswell and has to buy all new clothes. I'm sure she is complaining about that.

Thats what i'm looking forward to. Who cares about the cold when your going around nice and twisty roads. It's all worth while.

Are the roads over there on the twisties smooth or bumpy. Here in the national park where the good twisties are the road is absolutley crap with pot holes and rough surfaces.

I'll have to actually work on the edit suits for a bit so i might run into him there or if he has problems with the edit suites i might have to help fix it. So maybe maybe not i guess.

Hi jantolis,

I have been sent this link by a few members so I thought I'd join up. I've been with the ABC for around six years now, I do a few different tasks including video editing, transmission, and also operate the EVS on OB's.

So I'm guessing you are a techo? We get a lot of journalists doing placement here, as Hobart is a good place to learn (lots of hands on experience). Its a great branch to work at, & most are very friendly. It will be good to get some more young blood in the building, half the staff will be retiring soon haha.

We have a very secure car park also, so you won't have to worry about the GTR.

I guess I'll be meeting you shortly,

Jono

Hi Jono,

Yeah I'm meant to be working in tech services over there but I will have to do a fair bit more than just work there from what i hear. I'm looking forward to doing some hands on stuff because for the last month i've just been doing training coarses and it's boring. I'm going to have to do some work on all the edit suites and go out on OB's so it should be fun. It seems like there is lots to do working for the ABC. Good to hear about the nice secure carpark aswell.

Apparently I will be staying possibly within walking distance from the building. That would be very handy(takes me an hour by train currently). I find out next week for certain where i will be staying. I met one guy who came up here to train a few of us and he was from Hobart. Do you know Jim Parish????

Well see you in about a month.

Hey guys,

I have a few options for where i am able to move but there are a couple of problems. I don't have the outside photos of these places. I was wondering if someone would be able to go and take a photo of some places or atleast tell me if it looks like crap. They are around the sandy bay area and one in south hobart. One of the places looks like it's in a decent location but i'm not sure if it has street parking.

1) The first place is unit 11 / 1 plimsol place sandy bay - The location is right near the casino. This place doesn't have parking so i was wondering if someone could see if i can park on the street.

2) unit 1 / 812 sandy bay road - it's a decent drive away from hobart but from a photo i can see it has an awesome view.

3) Lastly there is unit 1 / 2 Ingram street south hobart - I think it's near the hospital or something.

If any of you live near any of these places and would be able to take a photo or be able to tell me if the places look like crap then that would be great, if not then don't worry.

Thanks heaps guys,

Cheers,

Johnny

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
