ahh bugger.. Missed this thread I; I was throwing the diff back in the car after having it tightened up. :kiss:

I went for bit of a cruise; in the hills up at lofty was crazy. Fog everywhere I couldn't see 10m in front. :S

So back down through city etc.. I think I spotted Andy? Down on Greenhill road at the traffic lights. I was stopped at the intersection on portrush.

ax53b70p25,

Try and keep cruises as such low key as we don't want the attention. It started off well but got a little messy. There is a few members of this board that are in the force so please keep it smart. Next cruise thread... Use the report button to keep it clean. :P

My car developed a bit of an issue and turned into a skyline WRX!!!!

I am changing the plugs today and will do an oil and filter change while i am there.

Hopefully this will sort the issue out if not it will be off to the mechanics for a diagnosis of what the problem might be.

As it could be coils packs as the problem is intimitant and comes and goes.

Sorry for having to make you guys stop but the car came good and thae went bvad again about 300 mewters up the road.

If your car started sounding like a wrx mine did this turned out to be a dodgy coil pack frying my ignitor first replaced just the ignitor and cooked that one so some splitfire coilspacks and another ignitor problem was all fixed let us know how you go

The late night cruise was fantastic

Was too foggy around Mount Lofty but was very clear when we got to Montacute Road. We lost a heap of cars around Mount Lofty, I can only assume they prefer hanging around in carparks than cruising.

Made it to the first meeting spot where we were waiting for the rest of the cars to turn up. Then some tool in a ford ute started doing donuts, so we all got out of there. Lost a few more cars due to that.

by the end of the cruise there were no skylines in sight, only an STI and 2 EVOs

Have put the new iridium plugs in now and havent taken the car out yet, but if it happens again will be putting splitfires in the car.

3 hours to do a set of plugs is not fun, wish i had the money to do the coilpacks at the same time. Might have been worth it then!!!!

The neos have so much stuff around the coil pack cover!!!!

Will let you know how things go when i get a chance to take the car out.

yeah no shit where did you guys get to, spewing the 32 with standard suspension couldn't hack the roads , also what turnoff did you guys take? i think we took the other direction ended upcoming back down the gorge, wish it was a bit drier and the 33 would have come out , and would have kept up to yas. we missed the crafers turn off couldnt see shit with that fog ended up going via stirling turn off. wil be arranging another cruise but will keep it fairly small i think there were too many cars. hows the form of the ford driver eh, wanka, you know the fuzz rocked up just after we left... funny about that.

What ford was it?

Was some absolute tool in a XR6/XR8 ute that had no brain capacity at all.

Why idiots like that turn up to a japcar cruise and do stuff like that is absolutely mind boggling.

Surely there would have been a fantastic mullet and moccison festival that he missed out on.

Cheers,

Stu

Wasn't a black xr6t ute? A mate of a mate (young arab/greek difficult to tell) went for a little cruise with us once and drove like a mad man everywhere.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
