I dont really have time to read 11 pages of threads so im sorry if this has been said before....

I am a northy and i know of a few roads out the back of wanneroo/pinjarra that are not speed restricted and also fairly curvey. Its also pitch black out there at night which could make things pretty interesting.

Anyway if not this cruise, maybe a future one...

Insane - if you have any ideas feel free to PM either me or dan the man - as we are the club events co-ordinators.

Even though those roads are not speed restricted - you legally are not meant to go over 110km/h. Our aim is to organise safe cruises and promote people to drive with in their limits. A curvy "high speed" road in pitch black doesnt strike me as the safest thing to do - but it sounds great for one of our day cruises which we usually finish with a BBQ!

hi guys just wondering how can i join the cruise or skylines australia im in perth is there anyone i should speak too or just show up at cruises. :(
welcome to just turn up but please introduce yourself to US WA EXEC COMMITTEE

cheers

Joe

Joe u know why :D

Maybe we could do a "show off" day kinda thing, get all of us together down at the Esplanade and we can show off the cars, stick up a big skylines Australia WA banner and get some more members, give ppl a chance to ask questions, do a bit a publicity and have a BBQ and play some games on the grass!

maybe do it a Langley park or some where were u can park a lot of cars and lots of ppl will see

was jsut some thing that poped into my head

hey i was just thinking about your cruises.

i dont know how they work, but maybe we could try do like a chrissy cruise or a

"christmas eve's eve" cruise, maybe just a 1day or something,

like what gts4_fun said, maybe a show-off during the day and then a cruise to go see teh chrissy lights or something.

i dont know, it's just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion Matt. It takes a bit of work to organise a cruise and everyone is really busy leading up to christmas - including us Event's Co ordinators! ;) Plus I dont think people walking around with kids looking at the lights would appreciate us in loud cars cruising past. :cheers:

But we are planning an SAUWA day cruise in January, so keep an eye out in the events section for details. :)

Yeah I've driven one before... There's absolutely mad cars.. And easy cars to pull a bit of extra power out of them as well. Pretty much a beefed up Ford BA XR6 Turbo. There rated at 270kw i think? They basically look like a falcon GT without the power-bulge bonnet and only come as 6 speeds. Oh yeah and they produce 560nm (the most of any australian production car ever built) at 2500 rpm.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
