Hey! You better be quiet or i'll tell everyone about your Monaesque moment at the Caltex :thumbsup:

oops!!! *shuts up*

*giggles quietly on the side*

*cough*

f*kN LIES! i was chattin away to ya :thumbsup: or trying to at least...

Yeah i knew you were turning, but i couldn't legally turn left from the right lane...

Its no big deal, i was only going to the meet to see how many people there were, if there was a lot, i was going to come... Instead, I went back to sleep...

lol!!! so you'd only come if it was a big cruise? pft! wheres the dedication! either way you missed out! :D

Sorry I missed it guys.

I actually did Nasho / Macquarie Pass last night, and just as I got to Waterfall it started to rain. It was quite interesting to drive the rest of the route in the rain and fog, especially on R-Comp semi slicks...

Anyway, didn't get home until 6AM and then slept through my alarm.

Best. road. ever.

^^same. except replace mac pass line with 'got really drunk' and replace 'through my alarm' with nothing.

lol

It is fun, but NUP.

Best road ever IMO is the Alpine Way in Thredbo. Went to the snow about a month ago and decided to take the long way back. Never been there before and it was a fluke that we hit that road. It's like 74km of REALLY REALLY twisty windy roads. No turnoffs, no line markings, no barriers, no deer, no cops, well paved, no potholes or cracking. You can take the corners wide as you want, as quick as you are comfortable with, but your reflexes must be spot on as you get the occassional car coming the other way. The speed limit is 80km, but in honesty, it's very hard to hit that much because its so very dangerous(massive cliff drops everywhere) and I was caning it in the Ford we hired, ice and all. Took about 1.5hrs all up.

Beautiful scenery, it takes you through the Snowy Mountains Hydro System.

I had a massive smile all the way it was so much fun!!! It's like one of those roads you see the guys testing on Top Gear!

Oh to take the Skyline there :D

Someone organise a cruise to that road!!! It'll be like a 10hour drive all up, but I guarantee it will be one of the best driving experiences you will ever have.

My favourite road in Australia at the moment still has to be the Black Spur in Victoria.

I used to love the Great Ocean Road but the surface isn't quite as good as Black Spur and there's also a lot more traffic (including a lot of arseholes that call the cops on you because you want to drive at your pace and they can't be f**ked using the thoughtfully-placed turn-out bays).

I haven't done the Alpine roads in NSW yet, but by all accounts they're an awesome drive. The NSCC used to do annual multi-day cruises through there before the snow season, and they adore the roads.

Was great to catch up with you skyline buddies again after nearly 2 years..I am a Nissan boy again. I was in 350z..Missed my R34 :-(..BTW i was going for a drive to Wollongong without knowing about this cruise when i noticed skylines at Heathcote Caltex so i turned around flashed at you guys when you were leaving.

i noticed that actually!!

At first i thought you were just a random wanting to race or something!! hahhaha

Your car looks Tough!!! loving those rims

whats done to the car apart from rims? looks super sexy

Sorry I dogged it guys. Once i realised it wasn't gonna stop raining on Saturday night (moreso friday morning :)) I kept drinking, copped the worlds biggest headache sunday morning. Still would of gone but cruises in the rain im not the worlds biggest fan.

Glad to hear everyone had fun though :( I will attend a cruise one day!!

yea i knew we were going the wrong way.. then thought, ahh someone probably knows a shortcut.

We got there 20kms later..

According to whereis, it should only take 59kms from my house.. it took us 79kms.. hahah

    • @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.
