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.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
