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 don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
