Eagle Mountain Bike Park had been planned and is 95% finished. It is a purpose "built" park for mountain biking in SA. As they have "cracked down" on mountain biking as of late (and closed a lot of national parks to mountain bikers), a dedicated park is long overdue.

The development of South Australias first dedicated Mountain Bike Park is occurring within the site of an old quarry close to Eagle on the Hill and will provide a publicly accessible area in close proximity to Adelaide where people of all ages, fitness and skill levels can experience recreational and competition mountain bike riding on purpose built trails.

For more info on the park, click here.

The draft management plan is out; basically this is the oportunity for it to either go ahead, or go under. As with the car scene, there are a lot of people that want to "take us down". They just don't understand that a 1m wide trail is a 1m wide piece of cleared land, whether it be used by walkers, mountain bikers, horses, etc, and if the old Eagle Quarry wasn't converted to this MTB park, it would still just be a quarry - NOT revegetated land with some dirt trails through it. As a result, we need all of the support that we can get.

Long story short, if you are a mountain biker, you know of mountain bikers, you ever think you will be a mountain biker, or you just want to "help the cause" (hey, I always vote yes for "roadie" cycling events, skate parks, etc :( ), please give us a hand...

Well, Eagle feedback will close in 2 days now. (4pm Friday). For those slackers who haven't filled it out yet, attached is a form that has been filled out for you. Download it, fill out your name make any changes that you want and email it to:

[email protected]

For the government website, http://www.recsport.sa.gov.au/about-us/news.html

So there's no excuse, download it. Email it to all you slack mates. This is our last chance to help shape the park, if you don't chuck you're 2 cents in you can't whinge when it isn't what you want!

Please email it to as many people as you can. Lets get the numbers in before 4pm Friday.

Thanks

Travis

(PS. Thanks to another rider for doing up the form for me).

Thanks for your time. :(

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
