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:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
