dud it's hobart, anywhere you get a place is 10 minuts from town.

BUT the first place (1) is crap, theer is parking available on teh opposite side of the road, but i wouldn't leave my car there. TOOO many people driving past and all.

Number 2) is ok location wise, it's actually more Toroona or so (can't speel it properly) propably 12-15 minuts drive.

Number 3) is off lower cascade road, not bad, get preatty cold though.

Hey guys. I've finally arrived. I'm staying just at the woolstore until i move into a place near the casino. I spotted a few skylines already on Saturday when i arrived. I spotted an orange 33 with the plates GTAAH(is it actually a GTR???), a purple 33 GTR, a green 32 gts-t(looked nice) and a black gts-t. I also spotted a nice blue R33 during the drive down as i entered Hobart. Any of you guys???

Anyway after the trip my car is dirty a sh*t and was just wondering is there any good carwashes around the place because i haven't had much time to look around for one.

Cheers,

Johnny

GTAAH is powered by RB26 hence the plates, id say its Grimo's purple GTR, dont know any green GTS-t, only know Lukes GTR and i can think of about 8 black 32 GTS-t's off the top of my head :P

If your after a brushless car wash then there are a couple around: Hungry Jacks/Shell servo in North Hobart, Shiners in Moonah or on the Brooker, great wash bay in Kingston (oppostite the Golden Arches)

Have to organise a meet up when everyone is free so you can meet all the guys and put some faces to names :)

Hey mate,

Welcome to Hobart!!! Pity you didn't come a few days earlier, you could have caught the opening round of the Tassie Drift Series, would have been an ideal place to meet everyone. Oh well, have to have a meet up instead. Be good to show you around and if you need anyone to show you the roads, my hand is up :):P

Hope to see you round

Scotty

Yeah I didn't think the orange 33 was a GTR but it did sound pretty tough.

Thanks for that. It's heaps dirty now and i havne't had much time to look for one.

Yeah that would be good. Me and my girlfriend don't know anybody here. Were are some good places to go out aswell?? We went to syrup on saturday night and got pretty wasted.

Yeah i would have liked to watch the drifting. Used to go occasionally on friday nights in sydney. By the looks of it there are a fair bit of nice and twisty roads around. Not sure where to go so you might have to help me out with them.

A guided tour of Tassies best driving roads......sounds like a job I was born to do :huh:

Seriously, you could spend 2 straight weeks 600k's a day driving Tassie and still not get all the good roads in.

MMM thinking cruise FTW ! meet up at Aquatics center, through geilston bay, grass tree, sorell macca's and back along the highway????

Yeah well i'm up for a cruise whenever you guys are. I've heard good things of these tassie roads and can't wait to drive on them.

Also do any of you guys know a good smash repair place here because i finally have to get my car fixed and need to get some quotes for insurance. I just some small damage on the rear of it and the front lip has broken a clip.

I have seen great work out of a few places, Brighton smash repairs a mate had some work done on his 32 there was immaculate! maybe Minty's in mornington rd but they are expensive, Hobart Crash repairs

Thanks.

I'll have a look into those places. I have to go to atleast one that they tell me to. Hobart smash repairs was one of them. I'll try get a quote from them and maybe that brighton smash repairs.

Just leave your car at work, probably safer :happy:

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
