Yeah Launceston is closer by about, give or take an hour.

only takes close to 2 hours to get to launnie.

I usually travel to launnie every days off so you know where all the speed cameras are as well :)

Awesome dude thanks,

Im saving money while i dont have a licence lol...

so i wanna do a major upgrade upgrade turbo and all that stuff should havea fair bit after i get it back. close to 25K but not sure what to do too the car part from turbo upgrade and bigger injectors and fuel pump i wishi was a mechanic sometimes :P

Well as an example Phat R33 and i have both just rebuilt and are putting big turbo's on RB25's and both went different ways about it, but both got our work done at S&D Bell Auto...

Im not giving figures of whats been spent by either of us but the questions to ask yourself is, what do you want to do with the car... IE; street driven, drag, track, drift, combo of a few etc

How much power do you want to make, and when would you prefer it to be made?

these sort of questions will determine what you do and do not need to do to get power out of the engine...

I could waffle on all day about this, but i will wait till you can answer more questions (and im sure others would like to have a say too)

maybe start a new thread about this?

My personal favs' in Hobart are;

1. white 70's cortina with HKS stenciled on the side

2. purple lancer with more primer than body kit

3. several VL commodores with NISMO Stickers.

Anyone in Launceston seen the loser who has just appeared in the white Camira?  Every time I've seen him he's been blasting around and driving like a f*&^wit.  Checkerplate where the back number plate goes, and it looks like he's either put a big radiator with flashy pipes or a FMIC on the front.  Include the set of alloys and you've got a full on performance car!

What about just starting with a decent car?

That guy is a fu#k, the thing is a "cold air intake" to add to the list of gayness it has LED's that flash in ghey patterns..... this is just an example of how much of a dick he is. .........sr20det, from a GTiR USING THE 4WD BOX........in a camira.........

Apologies if this one has had a mention, ut my personal fave - in hobart, most often spied in new town, a red lada coupe. This thing has the hand made, oversize drift wing, hand cut stickers, a stick on bonned scoop, and an exhaust that would wake the dead...

I was talking to a gent at autobarn, and apparently they will sell about four stick on bonnet scoops a week, and most of them will stick them on in the car park!

I got stuck talking to a girl (herself complete with fox t-shirt and 7 facial piercings) she said I should grab some blue neons, paint the lower half of my black 32 silver, throw on some stickers and "it will look really good, trust me" aaaaaagh deliver me!

here's another.  Blue auto pulsar, early 90s model with massive Nismo sticker.

I think that one is from down my way in St Helens. sounds a bit like the one i see all the time.

Yeah seen that one around. Brillant ain't it! It's amazing how many stickers you can make with white electrical tape. Got him at the lights a few weeks ago and he decided that key bangers were the order of the day. From Davey st in town to the Mornington roundabout! I counted at least 40 of them!

Ok here is one for you, a Hyundai S coupe (im sure thats what it is), with bodykit, gt wing, chrome rims and stuff... with ralliart and trust stickers on it.

The best bit, he calls it a tiburon!!!!!

let's get this one going again. There must be some new classics, most of the others would have carked it by now! Especially the white camira (I hope!).

DAMN DUDE long time no post, how you been, still got the 32's???

No more 32s, all sold. The market got flooded with rubbish when the 15 year rule went out the window, dragging down the value of decent cars.

Although the amount of Skylines that have been pranged in tassie there might be a market just in supplying replacements :ermm:

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
