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:

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
