Got this from boostcruising.com:

Peter Brock Memorial Cruise - 24th September 2006

THIS HAS BEEN APPROVED AND ENDORSED BY THE MODERATORS OF BOOSTCRUISING.

After the tragic incident that happened today to one of the greatest race car drivers of our modern generation and past, it is a sad day for all motor enthusiasts. It's not been a great week for australian citizens and has saddened all by this tragidy.

On the 24th of September (YES WE KNOW JAMBOREE IS ON) we will be holding a memorial cruise in honour of Peter Brock. The details will be as follows: -

Date - 24th September 2006

Location - Somerset Dam via Mountain run (Exact specifics TBA)

Meeting points - TBA

A Moderator of the site has kindly getting behind this event and will be having a mini show n shine: Best 4, Best 6, Best 8, Best 4x4 and Best overall.

Once we reach the dam we will be having a bbq with drinks. I will inform more on this once things have been finalised.

This thread is a expression of interest thread. Please feel free to say whether you would like to attend and i hope we all pull together for a great day and enjoy a CRUISE in his honour.

ONCE AGAIN WE DO KNOW THIS IS THE SECOND DAY OF JAMBOREE.

Thank you all and hope to see you there.

Well we dont have to cruise with them, as suggested above organise our own cruise in the daytime, a mountain run to me is a road race, pushing limits and primarilly why they are banned on this site, criticising others efforts is not what this is about, let them do what they want.

I know its a big ask but I'm going to try and get in contact with some of the Torana/Commodore owners here in QLD and maybe organise a Memorial Sprint day consisting of street cars classes he raced ie A9X sprints , LC Torana sprints, VS Commodore.

Owners of these types of cars would be invited to race or be envolved in a show and shine hopefully all at QR

It's going to take a lot to organise but I think its a fitting tribute to the Brock

yeah i also have the feeling he would of made a wise crack about the nissan if he were still with us... him and dick johnson were legends when i was a kid... so im also leaving this one to the holden fellas out there... being one myself before my current was finally baught. >_<

RIP Brock

will be sorely missed

Hi,

Boostcruising does not endorse "mountain runs" either.

It's a little silly to suggest that our Memorial Cruise is bound to end up being a "race around a mountain" when we are using a similar route as the "Massive Skyline Cruise" used by SAU late last year.

We're simply paying our respects in the only way we know how, if you choose to join us, please do, otherwise, please stay away. Do as you please there's no point arguing about it that's disrespecting the memory of one of Australia's best motorsport icons we've ever seen.

    • 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.
