If you know anyone with a Nissan Skyline of any description or a Datsun for that matter in Tasmania can you please get them to join this site at least then we may be able to have a means of organising a get together to see just how many cars and owners we have down here and gauge interest in forming a club.

Otherwise there does not seem a lot of point using these forums does there?????????

Cheers Alex.

There is a real interest in forming clubs at the moment, but its just a matter of getting a few gathering's together. I dont know what its like down south, but up here on the north west there's only one club I know about (North West Car Club!!) and they seem to do stuff all. Just the odd hill climb once or twice a year and sometimes a run at symmons plains.

There are plenty of Nissan's up here but no one to organisise anthing. There's some good sign's in launceston. Had a top night there last friday night. Whats the scene like down there?

Nice pic Napalm. Are there many days held at baskervile when you can take your car there? Ive done many a track day on road bikes (including philip island which make our tracks look like goat tracks) but not in cars. Keen though to have a bash!!

heaps that think they are Japenese drifters when all they do is understeer around wet corners or light up the inside rear?

Do they realise how stoopid they are?

I've got an R30 Skyline, would love to take it out on the track as soon as the supsension and funny diff noise is fixed...

Then I need to throw on a turbo and go all out on a drift run :-)

There are plenty of guys up here with Nissans.. Bluebirds to R33 GTR's etc.....

    • I'll chime in here with my experience. Motec is great if you have the money and know a good person to support you. They don't really offer retail support and the dealers make SFA margin on the product, so the business model is setup for you to be supported by a dealer. I'm lucky enough to know a guy who's ex Motec and very generous with his time and is a total boffin. In addition to that, I also use Brad Sherriff who's an absolute legend to work with. The downside to Motec is the software isn't very intuitive, pay to play, poor/limited online support and costly upgrades.  I've not owned an Emtron myself but a good friend runs a performance workshop in Melbourne who is an Emtron dealer. They won't be fitting any more to customer cars because of the poor level of knowledge within the Emtron support team and lack of ability to solve issues with the platform. Not to mention the circumstances around the establishment of the product and company in the first place. I've run Motec's since the old M8's back in the early 2000's so I'm certainly not without a bias but I look at it like this. Everyone acknowledges Motec as the best consumer grade product without spending mega dollars on Bosch Motorsport / Life Racing and so on. When you consider the real cost of your car (not what you tell your mrs) the cost difference between an Emtron and a Motec is tiny, why would you compromise over a few hundred dollars?
    • Closer to getting the shit box back on the road. That long hose, took 2 months to acquire. However the rest were all already to go same week I ordered them. For those playing at home, that long hose is for a RB25DE N/A motor, as they don't run a water/oil heat exchanger, the hoses underneath the plenum are much more elegant and not a maze of shit.
    • One thing you may be able to leverage is the fact that the R34 N/A has the same setup as a S15. The S15 also is a car that gets 350Z diff swapped, so they will also likely have this problem. The caveat of course is it's possible the dash is different between the R34 NA and the S15, but the subframe/sensors/axles/diff setup are the same. I can't remember now as it's been too long, but I don't generally think people need to swap dashes between the N/A dash and the turbo dash when they do things like change the gearbox out, turbo their car, manual swap it, it's just not something I've seen mentioned so this could be compatible.
