Just got home from this one, was an awesome day I really enjoyed it. Mt Mee was nice and the west end of Mt Nebo/Mt Glorious road was way tighter then I expected, really really enjoyed Mt Nebo road. farks me how people in cars can speed through there I thought doing 80 was pretty fun! and thats the speed limit.

really glad i did the drive now, found some no limit roads out just east of Kilcoy too.

Yeah... I've been out on that road, and lets just say the posted speed limit was ignored, and I was quite scared. 80k is good up there.

if u have another weekend free, there's some great roads in behind gold coast, head toward "the natural bridge" (GPS it) then back onto the M1 via mount tambourine. Not much traffic and great scenery

+1 for thats ^^^

Great view and one hell of a drive without even speeding :sick: i just love to appreciate the sound of my wastegate opening as i leave every corner, :)

Try Binna Burra nice drive and you can have something to eat there and look straight down into the valey and int the Hinze dam then head down beechmont road towards nerang and head right down murwillumbah road to the natural bridge (make sure you do the short walk :( GREAT) then follow on till you cross into NSW and head back on the M1.. Great drive just have to watch the wildlife lol but great even in any car..

Or for something to get your oil temp up and heart racing (and thats without speeding to would you belive) try heeding into canungra and up tamborine Mountain Road.. Bit of a goat track and only one lane with stop lights in one bit but good fun then you could stop at one of the wineries enjoy the view and the head down the back of the mountain and pop out near Movie World or head down the back way..

Well just my 2 cents but well worth alook through the UBD or GPS..

Drive Safe All.. :sick:

try a trip to the Border Ranges.. out to Beaudesert >>>> Rathdowney>>>> Kyogle [via Lions Road]. once at Kyogle, turn left [east] out to the coast, then return up the coast, or turn right [west] and return to Brizzy via Mt Lindsay Hwy. this is a great trip for Photography with Mt Warning or Mt Barney, the Border Loop railway tunnel [on Lions Rd] and beautiful Running Creek, which you will cross a dozen times or so as you follow the valley floor; pretty cool, especially this time of the year with all the rain we have had. you would need a full day to do do this trip; well worth the fuel though!.

Did the Lions road and the bellbird yesterday. always an awesome drive.thinkin about a look at queen mary today. Too many sunday drivers during the hols tho. The drive around moogerah dam is another hottie. Not very long but some of the best shit.

yeah, ther bellbirds are in fine voice this time of the year; I was on the Mt Lindsay Hwy a week ago [near the border x-ing] and they were letting all hell break loose. great to witnss.

    • 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.
