i just went to the 1st stop (ttp) and met with everyone, and there was some very nice lines out!

im fairly new to SAU and its good to meet you alland thanks to flick for coming over and introducing herself hehe :(

was a good run last nite, well done flick (even if we did have a detour)

hope nobody minded my commie coming along............handles surprisingly well thru the hills

and anyone who talked to my mate in the evo bout fibreglass repairs, drop me a PM if you want his details. he does some very good work ;)

I am also new to sau. I rocked up to the 1st stop in the missus new green machine lol. A lot of really niice cars out, great job! Hopefully next time ill be able to bring my car out ;)

yea def bring your 31 out next time josh, i wanna see how it goes with the rb20det in it man, if your bringin it to bens tonite ill see it haha

Finally get to reply! Cheers to everyone that came out, was a pretty good turn out for a short notice cruise.

Hope everyone enjoyed it, maybe next time we will make it a bit longer through the hills. Sorry for the U-turn, i cant read maps haha.

Was good to catch up with a familiar faces aswell as a few new ones!

I have a few photos, nothing much.. ill try get em up later. Was maybe 20 cars at first spot? and i think 12 for the 2nd half of the run.

Maybe next cruise will have a bit more notice, for less than a weeks notice for the cruise was a decent turn out. I didnt have time to plan a route, and had never run this one before, but was ok i thought. More hills next time for sure tho. Thanks again Lee for sending me the notes. Most times we decide to cruise we just get to meet spot and then have no plans, so least it was a little more organized. Was a nice night for cruising too,

gotta do it more often!

forgive me if I'm wrong but i think for little runs like this a weeks notice is perfect to much notice = to many people then its best suited to a day cruise somewhere ?? thoughts??

i would of come but my passenger pulled out so i took the easy route and pulled out also, don't get me wrong Luke it really didn't bother me that you pulled out so don't think i'm e-bashing you :D was quiet glad sort of due to being in the sun that day @ Jema's sports day gave me a little headache also

was a good cruise, little more hills woulda been fun, but still a very enjoyable run. Yes, dont blame me for the wrong turn, that was all flick.

Me driving, and flick goes ok next you have to turn right to get here, i look for the right, then i here 'oh crap, we needed to take the left back there to get to the right' oops.

Hehe, we just added abit to the cruise. See you all next time, was good to meet a few more people.

yeah true steve, just seems most cruises ive been on have had alot more notice. Day cruises are good for large groups I agree.

Havent had time to put photos up, i been a little lazy actually.

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
