Thought I'd post in here, I'm having a think about possible moving to Tasmania down the line, probably had people ask this before, but whats it like down there? Currently in canberra. Is fuel more expensive? And I take it theres a few half decent import mechanics in hobart etc?

From what I heard as well the economy isn't going to bad either? I'm only just starting to think about it, but just after some info, I work in IT.

This place has been dead for years, everything died out around 2013 in the Tasmania forum. Lots of us still owning/driving/racing skylines, but pretty much everyone has moved to facebook groups etc. f

Would love for it to become a thing again, although I know that's unrealistic. I really dislike facebook groups. I try to post on SAU when I have news about my build etc.

wow whoretowns busy in here lol :)

Good to see some interest in Tassie mate! It is a good place to live. The car scene is starting to liven up down here and the fuel is no more expensive than what you pay in ACT. If you work in IT, there is plenty around in your field but prob not as much coin compared to mainland prices. My mate works down the west coast as an IT guru at a mine site and he's on a good package. Come down for a cruise one weekend and check it out.

There is always the TasCommodores organised East Coast Cruise this weekend you could join in with.

Invited pretty much anybody along as long as they behave naturally.

When: Sunday 16th November

We will be meeting at the Campbell Town football oval (just north of town centre) at 10.30am in preparation for an 11.00am departure.

We will be heading east through Fingal and St Marys to St Helens where we will stop for lunch.

Then continue north through to Scottsdale and back to Launceston via the Sideling.

The cruise will entail approximately 280km and should take somewhere in the vicinity of 4 hours including the stop for lunch.

Was an absolute blast a couple of years ago in the Hatch. Not so much fun last year in the Adventra.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
