Hi guys, I'm looking at organizing a cruise some time in November.

i am thinking of another GOR run or maybe do the cruise around town to nice look out spots.

also does any body know of any long weekends in November.

the reason for this is ignition DVD do wont to cover a Melbourne based hot spot, so i said i would give them one in nov so all can

be organized.

I wont do it on a Sunday as I'm coming from Wagga Wagga and may have other people with me so we need the Sunday to drive back safely.

its a 4-4.5h drive.

If all goes well I'll get it going

Cheers, Brentt

I get ignition every month, would definately be up for this, wouldnt be up for GOR tho but somewhere around melb would be good.

the 3rd is the best date as that is the weekend before melbourne cup day and i always take the monday off so its a 4 day weekend for me :D

well if people like the idea of crusieng around melbourne every throw up some good places to stop and i can use them

Yes, then they can have Ignition: Gaol cell edition.

Seriously, how about starting out in a nice outer suburb that isn't assosciated with hooning, but not so uptight that the locals will call the police if a loud exhaust is heard. Consider Templestow, Doncaster, those sort of places.

Definately not Chadstone, after last time.

get onto the Eastern Freeway, a couple dozen skylines on that, 4 lanes wide should make for a good shot.

If it's going to mention Skylines Australia AT ALL I'd clear it with the comittee first. Could be good PR.

Maybe even get them to come along to a track day or something. I think that'd be more impressive than a bunch of dicks dragging on the street.

It'd be a great chance to show people that SAU is NOT about hooning and stuff like that, but if anyone screws around, we can expect every skyline in town to be pulled over the day after the DVD comes out.

Yes, they check that stuff.

After watching every dvd i can tell you that there not interested in street drags, in fact they bag the people who want to be heros and get the place shut down, in fact they never show any actual cruising, what we need is one big meeting place where they can film lots of cars in the one place, also if it is confined to the skyline community then it will flop, most of the meets they go to have 300+ cars from all different makes, for this to be succcesfull we need to get everyone involved, im talking, rotary, toyota, holden, ford, mitsubishi, hell there are even ppl with nice datsuns (not many but a few) everyone needs to turn out to get a big feature on the dvd, if my memory serves me right i believe the biggest one so far was in adelaide with around 800 cars.

Either way i will be there but it needs a lot more than just skylines to get there attention.

Yep spot on. No reason you can't run a kick ass cruise to that location though :)

yea im not up for going to aceral hot spots. i just got to think of some bick ass carparks.

docaster is one spot maby the start

move on to frankston

back to some were

userly is a good run

so it looks like alot of people wona come and do it.

what ill do is ill post the dates to igntion and see when they can do it.

when thats confermed ill post it up and ill get every body to post it all over the place.

and cruise guidelines will be inforced on this one

just to throw a few ideas up, dandenong tourist rd is allways a good drive, its no GOR but still good fun. OR beach rd from st kilda down to like arthurs seat or sumthing, only prob is traffic lights breaks every1 up

even though its a long way from melbourne, has anyone else done the hill climb up Mt Buller outside the ski season times? my parents live up there so i have done it heaps of times and it is a bl**dy fantastic drive. would be great to get a few lines and do a weekend up there but probably too fay for everyone to drive! sooks lol!

few ideas for pple to think bout!

cheeeerz

    • @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.
