Ok, so we got that out of our system. I seem to recall seing a thread about a cruise to the sunny coast and back, being a full day event. I also heard some ideas and comments. Lets kick it off from there again shall we...........

Yes, it's a great idea. Lets keep the idea happening and get ideas for a date, time and major places to go......

Now, my own thoughts:

How long - A half or full day event sounds great. Saturday night was only a taste of what's to come I think

Where - Sunshine coast is great. Maybe some nice back roads on the trip up and out through kennelworth then back down the beach fronts (just a thought anyway, some nice roads up there).

When - At leasts a few weeks or a month from now so people can plan for this. Maybe Mid to late May (not the sprint day on the 24th). Are there any other events we need to avoid?

Who - My own opinion is we need to walk before be drift (ok, run). We had 30 maybe 35 cars saturday night which was I think more than we expected. There's no reason we can't do that and more for this event. I am thinking we should keep it to SAU for this one and keep on with the "getting to meet poeple and enjoy the cars" thing. If we have heaps of cars from several clubs it would look great, but be more work and harder to control (and I tend to think it would have more risks in general).

Ok, over to you. Ideas, comments please. Just please keep this on topic and civil. Once we get a better idea of what we all want then we can move this into the events forum.

Cheers

locutus i dont think erins cruise is dead..... its still possible to salvage something from it, so long as we can maintain some maturity and resist from attacking each other.

and yes organising a cruise is hard work and lots of comunicating

nismogirl and i worked hard to ensure the whole group stayed together on sat night.

Thanks Bel. Yeah, I think the cruise is not dead, but the thread should be. All I could think is who would want to read those 2 pages of crap then seriously think about going. Just thought it was time to begin again. I don't want this to be my thread, or cruise. So Erin, come on down and take charge....

Would it not provide a sense of appreciation and some friendly sportsmanship? Could prove to be a very interesting experiment with the five of them.....escorts against skylines, zx's against lasers....lol...could prove a chance for a good laugh.

I do admit that such a task in arranging would be a nightmare but surely someone is up for the challenge????? I feel a dare coming on.

well....sounds like everyone would be keen....lol.

Wondering what the guys on the other four groups think. Do they know what plans lay in store?

As i said it would be a real tough one to organise but a real sense of achievement if it could be pulled of successfully.

But who to follow...that is the question

personally i woudl rather the idea of a skylines australia only cruise, mainly coz this is skylines australia,

if people want to cruise with the other clubs, they will sign up there, and cruise with them...

this is nothing against other clubs, i just think it looks great when you have all similar cars going around, i know on mad mtn runs it has stopped traffic..

bel - i dont think anything was said directly about you or your cruise organising, i thought you and erin both did a great job on the last one...please keep it up

I thought this thread would be different but yous are still bagging out other people..

Yous are all stereotyping people and its ridiculous.

As far as I'm concerned, if everyone here is going to have the attitude of "Skylines only.." I'm not going to be associated with that crap. Yes its a skylines australia forum but doesn't mean we need to limit it to just "SKYLINE PEOPLE"

If that's the case, are most of you's going to pull out of the Drift day that slip is organising.. cause god forbid he invite other people to our skyline drift day...

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
