good day out with you skyline dudes, must do it again, really sorry about the flat tyre, and holding up the cruize for half an hour, PHAT32 thanx for being my taxi, and to everyone else i held back thanx heaps for your help and patiance.

PHAT32 whats was the name of that place who tuned your SAFC, and where were they again??

it was a great cruise ill definatelyy have to come on one again one day

i had to leave early from apollo bay(to try and get my g/f back to go to work) and i came back through the otways but unfortunately i got done speeding on one of the straight bits after the mountains and the prick in a blue toyota camry got me doing 119 in a 100 zone and driving whilst suspended

ill hae a summons coming in the mail , it looks like im never gonna get my licence back!

but shit happens , the cruise was excellent and i amazed myself that i coulld keep up with some of you guys

i took pics on a mates digi cam and ill post them up in a couple of days when he has sent them to me

bassyk: that was rough. Don't think we saw any on the way back. Not sure what a cop would have done with that many skylines weaving in and out like we were. Was all good fun though!

jamezilla: how was the run back along the GOR ?

black13: did you manage to get your tyre fixed ?? was a bad time to get a flat.

Predator: The run home was fun :D

Ula32 and I gave the cars a good squirt - one of those 'glad I bought a GTR' kind of days. There was some traffic - including a truck carrying full Port-A-Loos (smelly) but we were able to get a couple of nice 'legal' runs - wasn't too often you could get above 100kmh. So sat on 80-90 around the corners most of the way. Lots and lots of fun.

We caught up with everyone in Geelong too :D

Awesome day people.

The photo's in the harbour were simply perfect.

I don't think there could be a better spot... we just need MORE CARS!

so i might organise another for a months time ?!?!?!?!?!?

That way i can drive my own car when i get it back

and then those that missed can come aswell...

and we'll go home the same route.

Those otways rule... pity about a bit of traffic though.

Sorry about the low res - it's the Photoshop auto-gallery thingo:

Gallery

I have all the driving photos at 1024x768 - and the ones in Apollo Bay at 2048 x 1536 @ 300dpi if anyone wants some silly-res images :D

My email address is on the gallery pages.

I have to say sorry for ditching you guys. Fatz wanted to do the whole road in one day so we had to be on the move. It was great to meet some of you guys and if ever any of you are in Sydney, please don't hestiate to let us know.

Fatz and I went totally ballistic, and he's a real nut case! Some pretty wild overtakings by Fatz and it's only a Mirage!

Thanks once again! :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
