hello tasmania


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

The first shakedown will be a Launceston to Hobart run, and then we will be cruising around the Hobart region.... we will need some help from you Hobart guys here, with where to go etc.....

we always have an open mind, so if u have any as far as the cruise in Hobart goes, just get back to me.....

Itinerary for big cruise this weekend ( i hope)

Cya guys,

hey guys, speaking of parents knowing parents, my dad grew up in beaconsfield, and his 3 brothers still live around launseston. My mum also grew up on Flinders Island and now my sister lives there too. It seems like everoyne knows each other over there, my mum went to school with David Boon(the cricket dude)!

Tasmania is cool , i remebr going to the cadbury factory when i was little.

when is this going to happen?

I am trying to sell my car and may not have a new one by next week if I manage to sell it.

But when it happens, I figure a couple of ideas on public highways aswell as the backroads, I know of one in particular that has some twists and turns. What kind of roads are you guys interested in?

  • 4 weeks later...

umm... looks like Dave didn't respond to that Post... He just received his 180sx a few days ago.. Still needs roadworthy and registration.

Anway he should have it on the road soon, that way the S13 and 180 should both be runnin a cruise to Hobart soon..

That was his plan last time I heard. maybe in the next week or two it will happen

that has got to be the WORST weekend for me, lol.

I am celebrating my 18 month anniversary with the girfriend.

The following weekend I will be in launnie if it matters.

Hmmm, for the next three weekends after, I will be working the Saturday. Could be a problem.

But, when you are up, drop me a line, and at the very least, we can cruise in Lonnie on Sat night.

Zsky, will be finalising times in the next day or two. I will keep you posted....

i'm not sure weather i will be able to make it now because i have fan clutch problems on my car well not so much the fan clutch but a fan blade to fit it as the original one dosen't fit and i am having a hard time trying to get one that does, i bought a davies graig fan clutch as someone on this forum recommended it.

sorry I couldn't make it if in fact you guys came down for a cruise.

I am free weekends, but work every second saturday, sundays are nearly always free for me.

let me know.

btw slaz: thanks for looking for interest in my car, I can't see anyone buying it though, I will keep thinking of what I want to do.

RB25!

heheh. I am thinking of the same conversion to the 180sx, all i need is $$$. *sigh* I love those RB engines, they are awesome. So smooth, compared to the SR20DET.

No, I did not go for a cruise. I work every second weekend too (normally) but I have to look after the shop for the next two weeks. Should give me some time to do a bit more work on the 180 (boost, general tidying up)

A few friends are going down this weekend (inclusing the Silvia I imported) but I wont be going down until probably three weekends away.

Let us set this date. Get back to me if you can make it. Would be great to finally meet you (and your beast)

Zsky, give your stamp of approval too.....

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
