Once my car is back up and running i will gladly give you a hand Daniel. Keep these cruises coming, hopefully i will see you all before summer :thumbsup: .

if this 1 is as big as its shaping up to be im sure that i will be organising more of them in the future. if u dont make it to this 1 Al then i will definitly look for a hand when i come round to organising another 1 of these during the summer.

Hey all,

Im counting down the days now! cant wait.

There wil be alot of skylines in car washes on saturday!

lol ye was plannin on doiing a wash meet sat night

if i can find a car wash with a big carpark i will post one up

Theres is the members buxton burger cruise on the saturday before this (same week end) prob wont affect the cruise though. My cars just gonna rack up a fair few km's that week end though! Cruizin all week end... :D

so? this cruise is the main event... some sideshow wont deter people coming on whats shaping as the biggest

non-member/member cruise of the year.

Just to let you know Daniel, so you don't feel like SAU VIC keep trying to stuff up your cruises, the cruises was planned and dated BEFORE your date change.

Just letting you know, that there is no intended hard feelings from the club. Keep up the good work! :D

nah man no harm felt. just the way it goes. but hey, the way i see it is that this is the perfect oppurtunity for non members to see what a members cruise could be like. and at the same time you'll see some members who dont mind cruising 2 days to show up.

well dan you know i would help you 100% if i was 100% comeing, however

cause i now live in wagga wagga its as follows.

friday-450km trip to melb (what fun)

sat- track day (hope i dont brake any thing)

sun- 400km round trip down GOR

sun night 450km trip to wagga

so looks like the liner will need a service after just one weeken.

but i wona come cause it will be fun.

altho i think 3-4 tanks of fuel for me (apx $320)

and al thanks for the brakes they are now on

Sorry guys was busy over the w/e (brought a motorbike) and forgot about the pic of the mr2 so i will post them as soon as i see the car again. But i am still only on the maybe list.

Weighing between the buxton burger cruise and the GOR cruise LOL.

However, lookin at the long list of participants, this seems like the cruise to go :D

Should be in :)

Anybody want to organize a mini cruise from the STI Docklands to the BP meet point? :D

I'll be there too :D

So count me in..

Doesnt matter if i bring my sil80 does it?

Take it easy

Trent

yeh bring the sil80. i got no issues with that. the list grows....

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
