If the weather Improves, I may attend. not looking good tho..

By the way. just want reiterate what paul was sayng about driving safe.. Take extra care guys when on your way to sky high, IF u still intend to go that route. I know that road like the back of my hand, and it can be a little unforgiving in the wet if your not careful. So just take care. Ive seen too many cars arse up in the Ditches.. have fun.

didnt end up making it to skye high. didnt even go by the map at all lol got to knox then went to fountain gate for white hot chocolate. mmmm yum. ne way roads were way to wet , very slippery. glad we didnt go up there

It wasnt a ditches that was the problem!!!

Wet night, all good tho, thanks to those who stopped! Sorry for the drama fellas..hope you had a good one!

ps: car goes in on monday...much thanks to Primal Garage for taking her on, I tink I got out of it very lucky...could have been much worse!

:(

Hi guys, sorry i couldnt make it last night, (having problems with my lights...)

what hapened 33gtst?

we will have to have another one soon, hopefully on a nicer night, maybe cruise down the mornington peninsula or somthing...

i would have no problem in organising a route if you are all up to it.

:blush:

thats good to hear. i saw everyone stop at the entrance to eastern whilst iwas pulled over i tried reversing back towards where everyone stopped lol wasnt a smart idea. hope theres no major damage.

Once again I'd like to say thanks to you all!!!

ah the car, well she needs new rear bar, and a fair bit of work required on the rear quarter.The boot still lines up fine, and the reo is still good. The lights are all sweet, not even a crack. Its had a very dodgy repair on it before, so large chunks of bog and shit fell out, this will now be all fixed up.

So its really not too bad. I'm very lucky.

I would like to post some tips as to how to act when on a cruise, as it is a group event with other SAU members present, doing burnouts, snakies etc i dont think is appropriate in a police infested area like knox, drawing attention like this isnt cool, we had trouble with cops that night and drawing attention is the last thing we want.

I may sound old, but i dont want my car EPA'd lol

cheers

Yeah, lol lucky Pettit wasnt out for once. he was out tonight though he impounded some P plater excel outside knox tonight. but i did lead the piggys away from you guys into the multi level haha, was funny shit. i dont wanna get EPA'ed either =P

god to hear youll fix up your car Danielle!

hey b3za were you in a dirt carpark near burwood highway (out near nutrametics)

i was really hung over, got my mate from tassie to drive us around (and around and around)... he was being mental in the carpark and i swear i saw a 4 door R34 and a white falcoon in the shadowsss

i went off at him as he got gravel in my brakes etc... very messy car now!

anyways... thought it was u.... was it?

    • 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.
