I am after peoples feedback about having a joint ACT/NSW cruise.

Idea : both sydney and canberra people meet at exeter on the hume highway (about 1/2 way between sydney and canberra) and then cruise through kangaroo valley down to the shoalhaven river at nowra.

i think it is a good way to get sydney and canberra people together, and a good drive as well.

Any thoughts?

other car clubs have done this with great success.

cheers, mark

Sounds like a good idea.

There was a Canberra/Sydney cruise about 12-18 months ago, went through Kangaroo Valley and stopped at a dam somewhere.

And that was a big sucess :P A very good day. I think there was about 40 or so cars !!

It's all in the planning. Plan times, route, meeting places, desination, and a fail safe just incase a few people get lost :P

Yeah Yeah - Good save mate ;)

That's what I mean't :(

He He -

I wouldn't have wanted you to go to work this coming monday, next week........... ha ha ha ha

But sounds like you got all under control buddy !

Cheers,

:D

yeah mark, the cruise I organised a while back went from the Shell servo on the Hume Highway, along the Illawarra Highway, thru Moss Vale, Fitzroy Falls etc, then to Kangaroo Valley. We stopped at Tallowa Dam (just after the bridge in Kangaroo Valley) for a BBQ.

It was a great day, I'd be very keen to do something similar again.

Sounds like a great idea... but I doubt if I'll be able to make the long weekend in October.

Doesn't have to be a long weekend... lots of people go away on them... just ask ndr!!!

Also remember that there is a SAU show and shine day in October which could make for a busy month!

Just some thoughts,

Dan.

Can we not goto Kangaroo Valley again please? At least not along that dirt road to the dam, because my front bar got completely destroyed by stonechips after driving on that road :P

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
