Well my take is that I'm still going.. meet up with most of the melb crew as they come off exit of the Western Ring Road onto the Westgate freeway. I'll go as far as geelong and meet at the gardens there with whoever turns up there. From there I'll just play it by ear I think as to whether I go on further to Apollo Bay.

If the weather is too bad, or there is not much turnout by Geelong, then I might then just call it a day and head back.

Western District Forecast

********************

Forecast: Tonight and Monday

Isolated showers and drizzle patches chiefly near the coast and about the Otways. A mild and partly cloudy day with a moderate to fresh southeasterly wind.

I might follow your idea predator and wait and see what the weather is like at Geelong..............

yeah well it was an awesome day, nice weather, nice conditions on road, nice cornering, very very fun, going back through the ottways made it a bit better to, even though it was wet it was foggy and the corners were pretty challenging, at least the day helped me get to know my car a whole lot better, not long now and i can be a pro dragster :D (i wish :D)

im sure everyone had fun though,. was a very successful cruise, my gratitude goes to silver-arrowz for coming up with the idea, and nice beast btw man!!!

Yeah it was awesome just cruising the twisties with all the the stove tops lined up, and especially cruising back to Melbourne through the ottways was awesome, can't wait for the next cruise.

Yeah guys, those with digi cams should post some pics of the day.

It was a very fun day. Shame that i had to leave early as my mates had other places that they had to be. But what is more important than driving around with a pack of skylines?

I ended up going through the otways on the way home. Rather wet and got stuck behind a commodore station wagon that just wouldn't let me past. Just like the way down to Apollo Bay. Damn traffic.

But it was good to meet everyone. We have to do it all again.

was goood...nuff said. You had to be there to experience it :)

photos into the developers tomorrow as my film of skyline is out (some dyno day stuff in there too).

Hopefully none of us have little speeding notices in the mail. Thats what I'm always affraid of these days :D not that it stops me speeding much!

    • I was able to improve to a 3:46.7 which was .5 slower than silver. I just couldn't do any better but then I was able to just link the sections so nicely and got a 3:44.6. stoked with that.  AMG around Barcelona looks good. I'll save that for the weekend.
    • hey GTSboy thanks for the quick reply. im on stock ECU  Surprisngly enough i unplug everything and replug everything, readings are still off but the car drove...ok haha So far this is what i have done. - Replaced ECU (still 1.5v) - Replaced Boost sensor (still 1.5v) Now the next thing i tried is to unplug the TPS and only plug in the Boost sensor to see if it reads 5v. No it still only read 1.5v.  Its a new boost sensor and i know i have 5v if i dont plug the sensor back in, so that means the power wire is good. So now im thinking that it might be a bad ground on the boost sensor plug.  on the FSM says the ground to the boost sensor is  a sensor ground, can i add a ground wire from the boost sensor ground wire to the the engine itself to ground it? or chassis?
    • OK, so, assuming that there is nothing wrong with either the original or new boost sensor, then it would seem that there might be something wrong in the loom wiring to that sensor. This is troublesome, because if that were true, then you might expect the problem to persist when the sensor was unplugged. But seeing as the voltage comes good when it is unplugged, it would suggest that the fault might (and I stress might) be right at the loom plug. Either that, or the fault might be at the ECU, on the line in from the boost sensor. When you unplug the boost sensor, that input at the ECU is isolated from the TPS sensor and can't affect it. This would be semi-bad, as an ECU problem is never welcome, but at least you'd know where the problem is and it might be fixable, or at least replaceable. Do you have Nistune, or any other way of looking at ECU data? I'd want to drive the car around with the boost sensor unplugged and see the TPS working properly, then not working properly with the sensor plugged back in. You're not trying to run more than ~18 psi either? Right? Because even with Nistune that can be difficult with the boost sensor connected. Just checking, in case it might have some bearing on the issue. It shouldn't cause the voltage situation you're seeing though.
    • Need something reliable, like a Mazda (non-rotary), or a Honda, or a .......... Commodore 🤣, the only issue with my cars is me 🫤
