To whoever cares...

For the next 8 months, I have proposed to develop/design a publication, recognising and promoting Tasmania’s car scene, as the core submission for my MVC (graphic design) postgrad course at uni. A massive car enthusiast myself, I am looking for support/shared interest from others across the State to make this project worthwhile. In recognising Tassie's car scene (and why it's held in such high regard) I'm aiming for a unique title rich enough to include the diversity required. Here's your chance to get involved >>

I'm currently in the process of collating articles, photos and general content. So if anyone has covered a club event, cruise or motorsport recently (or within the next four months) please give me a hoy. If you have any original photos to accompany written text, that’s even better. Everything submitted will be valued and clearly acknowledged with contributor's name - accompanying each photo/article and on my editorial policy (or not, if you prefer). Ideally, if a club event (anything at all, as I'm also interested in the social/cultural attributes) or cruise is organised in the near future, I’d appreciate it if you’d let me tag along to experience it first hand – to check out members' rides, take some photos and to say g’day.

Additionally, I’m after ANY car related articles you might think could be useful for this purpose - issues, technical advice, whatever - whether written specifically, or borrowed from someone you know with permission. Of some priority are individuals who’d like their car featured in the project (it shouldn't matter what it is), with a short interview or similar to supplement it. I’m based down south at the moment, but head home to the NW regularly.. so meeting up at some stage shouldn’t be a problem. BTW I've noticed ppl seem reluctant to help out re. their cars and pics of them, so if disclosing information is a problem, I'm not intending to reveal any personal details whatsoever (except for your name, unless you prefer not as mentioned earlier)..

Finally, a logo/identity will emphasise the entire concept, so if you have any sugggestions please let me know.

First and foremost this is a uni project, and the outcome may see only one or two copies printed. However, provided it is successful (hence becoming marketable, if only hypothetical), is not subject to trademark rights and royalties, and I successfully acquire funding elsewhere, I have the opportunity to print/produce numerous copies and freely + exclusively circulate it around the State to those who contribute. Mustn't get carried away but.. fingers crossed!

I’ve posted similar queries elsewhere; via email, other forums, club sites etc, so you're probably aware of this already. This IS alot of work, and it's impossible to pursue without your input. Please share my enthusiasm! Anyway, I appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing from you B)

Cheers

^^ Thanks. Honestly, I forgot their names lol (all those ppl that day I've never met before - who's who, who drives what etc..). I'm sure they said R34, but I'm prob mistaken lol.. I'll give those usernames a hoy anyway. Cheers.

Jays_5000, is the bloke ur talking about from Tas? It's gotta be Tas related. I'll send you a PM anyway mate.

BTW, if anyone else is interested (here, or whether you know someone elsewhere who'd be keen) please post or send me a PM. I need content! :lol:

Thanks

Well, I might have made a mistake, but if your off of N.S.com then I think I'm right...

Umm if you just want cars to take photo's of and to do a little story then I'll help if you like.. I think it was you I spoke to on N.S.com and you seemed keen but I wasnt on that suday cruise. Offers there anyway.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • 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
