I'm spending a week near bicheno on the coast in feb and seriously thinking about

driving down from sydney, getting the ferry and driving there. (and back). So i was

wondering if there are any deserted drivers roads - of the kind top gear like to find

in wales or scotland, or if it is going to be a 100kmh snoozefest in traffic the whole way.

Top gear AUS have used tassy roads quite a bit for filming. nearly any direction you go you will find a lot of corners.

my mum is over from SA and she commented about how much fun it is to have more than 1 corner within 100km.

It's even worse here in WA, I'm keen to move back home and get my Skyline over there to some corners and i think i might have to get another road bike too hehe.

And while I'm here, What are the cops like for giving out yellow stickers or defects over there?

Because they just love giving them out over here, But all the time while i was growing up in Tassie i don't think i ever heard of anyone getting a defect unless the car was pretty well stuffed.

So do you guys get much trouble for Front mounts and the like?

Sorry for hijacking your thread dude :)

not realy.

plenty os skylines running around with exernal gates. pods. Bov's. ect ect. low. bald tyres.

basicly if you atract their attention by speed or noise than they will book you but rearly defect cars.

my mate has been driving a r33 around for 6 months with sponsor stickers all over it and has only recently been pulled over and given a warning for it.

you would be un lucky to get caught basicly.

If it were me I would go this way Map

It takes in the sideling and a few other targa roads, and you get to drive down the coast a bit, which is good too :banana: Mind you, you cant go too wrong if youre after windy roads

i think you linked my original one again? .. but I'd be very interested to see yours.

How does this route look? I tried to aim for the most interesting wiggles.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source....191772&z=9

Most of this route is pretty good, but alot of the road from bakers beach to york town is a gravel forrestry road with alot of log trucks using it. Stay on the frankford road to beaconsfield. On your way back for a truly awesome drive go from bicheno up the coast to St Helens than take the Tasman Highway to Scottsdale. I did coming back from a trip on boxing day the road is awesome. :domokun:

I'm not good at this whole map thing but i think that it would be just as nice to go to strahn for a driving trip. from devonport to shefield then down toward cradle mountain then after rosebury turn right to a wicked driving road that goes to a massive water resivor and then down the coast to strahn. Stay the night in a cabin and then go back up a different way or go down to hobart from strahn. Those 398kms are some very nice roads with some nice twists. then if you feel upto it go up the east coast back to devonport basically the same way you showed on your map. It should take about 3 days of good driving to do that but would be much fun... feel free to pm me if you have any queries i have driven most roads along the east and west. I havent been down south of hobart much though but i am sure that through the huon there are also nice roads..

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
