not so much warm cloths needed, more wind proof

saying that, today is amazing - sunny and cloudless will a small breeze just wearing a light jumper

but get up to some altitude and the temps will drop and your car will love you for it

when your down near deloraine or launceston look for a road called lake highway - its high and twisty and very good

I'll have to check it out,i have about a month so should be able to do an see heaps. :ninja:

calm down! its not that bad!

I'm not as tough as you locals,my bag is so full of warm stuff i can't carry it.I'm all over the place down there,so hopefully i'll be able to catch up with some of you guys. :)

^^^ I'd take up Bodie's offer about those targa stages 'n corners.

And you can show him your special way of overtaking on Macquarie Pass... :)

BTW

Q. For low lip cars, is it difficult to negotiate the ramps getting on/off the ship? Or just taking it at an acute angle good enough?

there isn't a massive tidal range in dev so the ramp isn't normally too bad

the only thing you might struggle with is if they put you down in the depths of ship, the ramps going down are quite steep

but i'm sure if you ask the ppl who guide you on they will let you stay on the main level

i got on fine in my stagea, but its not much lower than stock

^^^ Good points to make - thanks!

i should remember to lower my car b4 i head back to qld

i always get shoved down in the depths and it takes ages to get out when you arrive cos everyone forgets how to drive

also gets you out quicker here, cos you have to go through customs incase you have fruit (not the engine sort) and you get out onto the highway ahead of the caravans and the grey menace

Yeah 2 years ago when i went down there where quite a few modded low cars getting on the ship,an they had guys walking round looking under the fronts,put them in the not so steep parts,mines factory height so should be no prob,bring it on can't wait. :D

ask them about it anyway, sucks when you get put on the bottom

and the caravans on the top

and the caravans take longer to be searched when you leave

and they drive slow

and get in the way

and tasmania lacks duel carriage way

so you get stuck behind the caravans

as you can see, i don't enjoy caravans

many a caravaner has experienced this, accompanied by a speeding yellow wagon

and also one probably perplexed buel/sportsbike rider

Don't think i'll have much trouble with grey nomads,to cold for em,this time of year most of em go north. :)

Can't beat the west coast roads, I'm originally from Rosebery live in Launnie now.

But if you do go down that way be sure to drive 99 bends, ( Gormanstan ).

Yes i wanna do em all,should be heaps of fun. :P

Don't talk about it! Just GO!

Yeh... Leave me with the nappy changes, wheelie bins, ironing 'n stuff :)

BTW, Taking many pics? Moving-Vid would be tremendous Queenstown > Gormanston ;)

BTW, St Mayrs area has just had flash flooding - hopefully the roads are repaired by the time you get there.

Are you going clockwise or anticlockwise?

See that - you Tasmanians who are now under threat of a blind-Skyline-driver roaming your countryside! Nothing worse than a blind-Skyline-driver let loose!

So as of next Wed, stay off the streets! Tie up your children!

Still trying out your 'drive by sound' rather than 'by sight' techniques G? Perfected it yet? lol

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
