A group of us Hobart boys are planning to cruise up to Launie this weekend and we're all curious about how the new Hooning Laws have taken effect!?

Last time we headed up that way the cops couldn't care less... that still the way?

Has anyone has their cars impounded? It has been rather odd down here, since the new laws have taken place there have been a heap more accidents, other day a car got t-boned and ended up 20 metres down the road on it side, main road of Hobart.

Providing the cops still don't give a crap it should be a good run. Hope to see you all out and about Saturday night.

The hoon laws haven't changed the cops up here, but, you must be lucky when you come up, they will book you for ANYTHING you do wrong, as long as you keep clean in the city you'll be fine. Only good thing is they don't really give a shit about mods. At the end of last week 5 cars had been impounded, so I've heard anyway. Not sure if any more got taken over the wknd.

Unfortunately all the platinum boys will be at a mate's 21st saturday night. :cheers:

Good luck with the cruise mate.

Sorry to barge in. A few of us SAU VIC boys are planning a week long cruise early next year. This is going to start at Launie (cars coming by ferrie), go down to Hobart and then back up to Launie (hopefully via a different route) to catch the ferrie back to Melb.

- What are these Hooning laws?

- For what reason do the Police impound the cars?

- How are they with club cruises?

Al - They can confiscate for 'burnouts' 'racing' 'music too loud' that sort of stuff, they haven't been too bad and I doubt they could confiscate ur car interstate, also when you are travelling in a group they ussually leave you alone, as long as you don't do the wrong thing in the city u'll be alright.

bygrave316, which night won't really make too much difference different cars out on different nights.

Thanks.

Another question:

Where do you guys buy you 98 ron fuel from, and how many servo's have it?

I was looking on the net, so i could plan out the fuel stops, but found that Shell (optimax) and Mobil (8000) do not have servo's with 98 ron fuel :P:(. Waiting for a Booklet from BP, hopefully they sell Ultimate there.

no luck, best you can get down here is caltex vortex which is apparently 96 ron. When tassie guys approached the fuel companies about the problem, the answer received was that not enough 98 ron is produced for the whole country to recieve it, even though we are the only state that doesn't get it, and we have a rather small population... go figure....

i saw a program on the ABC about this...apparently we don't have the demand down here for 98ron so they won't bring it down...going to become more a problem when they faze out LRP (is 98ron or above) and people will need to use UPL (96ron max) with that flash lube...

I use toluene when I can be bothered, otherwise octane boost every so often, car will still run on premium just not as smooth as 98 ron.

Where can we purchase toluene, and how much do you put with 35-40 litres of 96ron to get up to 100ron ;). Is it safe to run? Meaning, it will not do any sort of damage to the engine.

My car is tunned for 98ron, and because we are planning to cruise the mountains, i will not be willing to use anything less.

PS: Thanks for your help

Last Saturday bygrave316 and I filled the tanks to max and prepared ourselves for a big night out in Launie with a passenger each. Other guys just decided to come with us because one is down a wheel and the other's car wouldn't keep up if it tried.

Armed with CB's, DV Cams and Still Digital Cams we were up for a big eventful trip.

Headed off around 3:30 and got into Launie around 5:30, so we pretty much kept to the limit, eccept when overtaking and on the speedo check.

Picked up a local mate and headed to Country Club Casino and I must say it puts Wrest Point to shame. By the time we'd all managed to lose our cash on ruelette it was time to head out on the block.

Was a little quiet compared to the last few times we headed up. All I really noticed amongst the crowd of commodores was a Blue Supra with ApexI computer but he never was up for anything, he just putted off the line everywhere. Other than that, there was a few older skylines which didn't seem to be much. An Orange MR2 and a Yellow 180.

Got rather sick of it after a while and decided to head into Lonnies the Club and straight away I noticed the ladies are a lot tidier up Launie. Lonnies the club is way more stylish than anything down Hobart. We parked right outside the club for the night and didn't have to worry about a thing.

About 3am the power all over the CBD went out and club essentially turned into dungeon full of people and no music or lights. So we went for a cruise and found an XR6 Turbo to fang around with for a bit which soon became boring because all the traffic lights were out aswell as the street light.

Bygrav316 wanted to head home at 4:10 but our passengers didn't.. So we left them there and filled up again at BP and prepared for a quick limitless cruise home. Well limitless we thought, until bygrave316 hit Speedlimiter at 180-190k whereas I'm good for 250kmh. Managed to only hit one possum each on the way but luckily no damage to us.

Arrived home in Hobart at 5:30 just clearing an hour and a half of drive time with 2 quick stops. Bygrave316 accidently took a wrong turn at that huge roundabout just outa Launie and my bolt covers on my wheels were about to come off from the speed so we had to stop and remove them for the ride.

Hopefully no camera's got us, didn't see any flashes. But yesterday I received a Summons to go to court for another offence, guess that's fate farkkk.

Yeh Lonnies is pretty cool, there pretty much every week.

And yeh you can't get away from commos here.

What rides do you guys have?

Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves.

Yeah that pretty much sums up the Supra we saw.. the guy had a pony tail! HA.

Should be headin up there for Ministry at Lonnies, probably wont be on the street that Saturday night all that much as we'll be too busy getting plastered.

But we will prolly head up Friday afternoon and block it out, perhaps lose more money at the cas until it gets dark. So hopefully all you Platinum boys will be out and about. Should all live it up at Ministry aswell.

Any of you headin down to Hobart between now and then? Be sure to post it and we'll try to be out. We live along side the block so if there is anything ever happening we're quick to get amongst it.

      R32gtst rear wheel bearing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The vendor you bought from is a dickhead who can't tell the difference between AWD and RWD bearings. Their eBay listing is one of the first hits too, and is wrong. Any other hit shows the ones that are on your car. A search for GTR rear wheel bearings, unsurprisingly, finds the one you have from Shift. f**king muppets.

      Got the flat door cards "good enough" for now. After cutting out the arm rest I removed all the stock trim material. Then filled the gap with a bit of Masonite and wrapped it in some adhesive foam to hide the  transitions as much as possible. Then I applied some black vinyl material to the panel with some spray on contact adhesive smoothing the edges as best as I could. Here is how it sits in the car with the door handle and cut down window switch mounted

      R32gtst rear wheel bearing

      By R32gtst1992 · Posted

      Ok so I have a little bit of an issue. So I have a 1992 r32gtst and trying to replace the rear wheel bearing and spindle the research I’ve done shows a different style bearing than what is currently on my car. So the picture of the new bearing with the box says it’s the correct bearing as does my research but the picture shown of the old bearing is the one that came off the car. I’m a bit confused the new bearing has an ear on it that I’m assuming goes to where the top of the ebrake shoes mount as to where my old bearing does not. Any help would be awesome

      What in the absolute mind f**k. Generally speaking, you cannot diesel a petrol engine without sparkplugs which you don't have since you're disconnecting battery.... Something is very fishy here.
