Im currently waiting to get my car tuned then some extra funds and then wanna plan a trip to Tassie as my girlfriends family lives there.

But there is no way i could leave my baby at home, so i was wondering what the roads are like over there.

EG what the driving like i could imagine it would have some very fun twists??

and the boys in blue situation are they strict on modded cars and have speed cameras around every cornor?

Thanx alot for any replys

we have the some of the best twisties in the world.  But the condition of the tarmak is pretty shit.  Coppers arn't too bad down here, and you rarly see speed cams outside of the towns.

yep couldn't agree more. SOme of the best roads in Australia. Police are pretty easy going so long as your sensible in the right places and not to over the top.

Speed camera's are picking up but really on through the city and suburban area's where everyone know's and expects them to be.

Come down you wont be dissappointed at all.

If you need some info or want to catch up at all then more than happy :Pimp2:

It really depends on where you go in Tassie, and if your baby has been lowered. I've found that even on the highways, if shes to low and you've got a bit of speed up...approx *edited by Slaz* you can sometimes bottom out your suspension or get a bit of rubbing action.

Tassie does however have some of the best rally style roads. Having watched targa tasmania a few times, I have to say for a but of fun give them ago.

Sorry guys, please do not mention speeding or illegal activities on-road on these forums. Please read the forum rules. Thank you.

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
