Nice! Thanks for all the responses guys!

This cruise idea sounds great, but now the hard part is finding a time and day when everyone, especially me :) haha, is free, and the weather isn't too shabby. Or I can try and organise a few different days and people can come to which ever one they are free for.

The next sticky situation will be locations for shoots. I'm assuming there will be a few cars around each time I do it, and I'm gonna want to do like, one car at a time shoots, and say for example, if i want do a carpark shoot everyone else will have to go somewhere else so they arent in the background. Although then later, I'll experiment with shots with different depths of field, with cars in the background and even doing like two's and groups shots.

Something which will take alot of planning, first off being me thinking of locations. The idea I have in my head for this cruise at the moment, is to first off meet at a particular location, get some group shots of the cars together possibly single shots of cars, then head off to another location, and at each location i'll decide which cars to take the individual shots of.

It will definately be a during the day cruise, I'm also assuming on the weekend because most people work weekdays.

Anyone got a few dates in mind? I would say after Autosalon, but I actually need all my photos finished BEFORE that so I don't think that will work. Unless it was on the 16th. I guess that would give me a week :)

But in the meantime might organise some smaller shoots, not really a cruise just a meet up, me take photos and cya later with your photos on a disc kind of thing ;):P

I have already organised with craig_R33 and 4door_Sleeper to do something this Tuesday afternoon, because they are both free at that time, and also gives them time to discuss Autosalon 08 haha. If anyone else is free Tuesday arvo, chuck me a PM. I'll send you some details. I haven't decided on the location yet but will let you know ASAP.

Cheers guys.

Yep definately got plenty of cars, but what can a few more do? :D I want as many as i can haha. Leaves more room for variation :)

PS love how your promoting Hi Tech Dyno Tune - My uncle owns it :D:)

Huh, John Keen is your uncle!? I guess due to the different surnames he's from your mum's side?

I've known John since he was a teenager working for his dad at Stan Keen Motors (now TurboTune) and I worked with his brother Mark at Adelaide Engine years ago.

Alot of you may not know that they were both very strong weight-lifters many years ago!!

I love your car. Looks real nice! Well we shall see what we can organise with this cruise idea ;)

    • 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.
