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

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
