Budget a couple of days around the north west.... a good guide to find great roads in Tassie- "the dumber the name the better the roads!"

I'd budget a day to rock it down the west coastal roads to Hobart.

Base out of Hobart for a few... climb the mountain and mountain roads, reaserch the Targa stages (all open and fee public roads). Then bang on down south, to Port Arther/Dunnally southport. (stop at the Dunally bakery... best apple pies and meat pies ever!).

March 22 is drift practice at Baskerville and 28th is Tasmania 400 at Symonds Plains. 23 poatena mountain race! jump on the cams calender for all the dates.

Cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

Nice work man You should have a good time with some of those roads. Any reason for the backtrack from Kings Meadows to Strahan? If it were me I'd do the trip anti clockwise and head from Devonport - Strahan - Hobart- Swansea ( following the A3 Tasman Hwy) - Kings Meadows ( following the B34 Lake Leake Hwy) - Devonport.

That way you get to see the East Coast too which is a really lovely part of Tas. If you had the time a side trip into Freycinet National Park/Coles Bay would be well worth it.

Not sure about the ferry prices as it's been 10 years since I last went on it but why the two cars? You guys coming just to do a cruise holiday? I'm sure if you guys were keen there'd be a few boys who might be interested in joining you for a leg or two of the trip. Get a few local cars out and about.

G'day Brodie,

Reason why I have to go to Kings meadows is I have to see a client for business.. quick 45 minute meeting.

then head to Strahan. I've heard about Freycinet Park... I'll definitely check that out. that map will be loosely followed. Just acts as a guide. My mate is bringing his motorbike. Yeah, just to check Tasmania out a bit... I'll be back for sure.

If anyone is keen message me for the dates.

Yeah I figured it might be something like that considering it's a specific address lol. Well you'll have fun no matter what route you take because it's an awesome place with some awesome roads. I'll shoot you a PM might be interested in a bit of a cruise when your down south.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
