Man thats sad hey.I was at the servo they filled up at.they (2 other red ferrari's) were together when seen.

Lol,i was also on the side of the road when the lambo was pulled over.We were waiting for the Bellevue Bodyworks cortina to fix it's what looked like overheating troubles.

On the bright side we now a have brake doner.Ferrari brakes!!

by the looks of it the brakes dont work to well.. :angry:

Just to give everyone a bit of insight into the cruise and the cause...

The venue (which ended up being way to small), was the largest space the organiser could find that was a) Privately owned and b) willling to give access to hundreds of rev-heads.

The cruise, many years ago, used to converge on the lighthouse but outgrew the space - and the cops didnt help when they started closing off the parking lots every anzac day.

This year the police stopped the event from being held at the airport - or on any other public owned property - but conceded to it being held on private land - and its really only due to the charity that the police lay off (in general) on the people who cruised to Albion Park. Thats why there was defecting happening at the lighthouse but generally not on the route to Albion Park. I noticed the cop who was booking people parked on the nature strip - but i believe he was one of few police in Albion park who caused any issues.

The organisers sold 500 SuperCruise stickers (all that were printed), all the proceeds of which will be going to charity.

The cars filled the BP Servo, the backlot, the space around the truck repair and wash centre, and a newly constructed warehouse up the back. They calculated they could fit 500 cars and therefore printed 500 stickers.

Its estimated that over 2000 cars cruised into Wollongong - many going to the lighthouse area not knowing that the new location is Albion Park, and many being forced to park on the princes hwy.

Next year the event will probably be held in the same place, but more parking will be available in the field behind the new warehouse. There is also unconfirmed rumours that there will be some action in the form of dyno events and the like.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
