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:

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
