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.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
