I just read we are losing the v8 supercar round

http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/06/23/239811_motorsports.html

pretty gay as it's the main race event for the year. Even gayer that Lara just spent 18x the cost of the v8's on sponsering the hawks!

It's not even a direct 1.3m cost... it's just free shipping across (1.3m retail in tt line tickets)

Spend 1.3 (more like 750k actual cost) to get 3.3 back into the economy... daaaa??

Who cares about football anyway!!

And on top of it all, the 20 schools they are closing- they have to give the school stimulus cash back! ha ha ha.

Tasmania's grucked! :domokun:

Shakes fist at over paid pollies :glare::angry:

They can't be that over paid either if they're not all suicidal about their pay rate freeze.

I almost had a heart attack when they were talking about public service jobs and pay freeze on the news, I wasn't really listening and I thought for a second thinking I wasn't going to get a raise this year :'(

Luckily this was not the case.pirate.gif

Hi ben

As you are well aware deb and i do our best to go to 2/3 v8 rounds every year,but probably no more i will just still go to queensland and race nev's car twice a year.

I am going to eastern creek in august for the drive around with agression with nev.

the baby is going great now,i had also needed to replace one coil pack.

You would think the tassy govenment would want to keep the v8 because of the financial gain to bussinesses and the popularity of the sport.but no they would drop a good thing and poor a shit load more of our money into another football venture,just so they can big note themselves.

it seems to me thay want to be better than the jones.

in roll on effect, cost of every track day at symmons just went up hugely, due to no big players pumping cash in for a well prepared and maintained venue.

in summary, take from poor (motorsport tas) give to rich (aus football league).

football is a self sustaining thing because of all the advertising involved, unlike motorsport which is steadily dying in australia because of governments and a nanny nation full of sit at home watch tv have no goals in life work eat sleep repeat types.

Football can bite the big one, I've said from the start with the Hawthorn deal that there is no way in HELL that they would be generating the money/tourism that the government keep stating they are from football games in Tasmania.

WHY would people come to Tassie to watch a game here when they can/could go to the MCG/SCG etc it just doesn't add up???

Sure they reckon that surveys are always done to ask where people are from and if travelling interstate and paying for accommodation but I still smell a rat and it all started with that retard Bartlett. Why would we push so hard for football games let alone a Tassie AFL team when there are so many things that the money could be spent on around the state that are actually neededdomokun.gif

V8's are here this year and I have no doubt that they will be back next year and the one after and this is all just hype.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      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...
