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.

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.

    • 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?
