I've been wanting to organise this for a while so finally pulling my finger out.

The date is Sunday the 7th of September

Ok, so Meeting at Old Parliament House in the morning so we can leave at 9:30

From there we'll head out to Uriarra Crossing, than down to the Cotter, than head south to the Corin Dam. From there, back onto Tidbinbilla Road, down through Tharwa and (my favourite bit) up to the old tracking station at the end of Apollo Road. Finally finish up at Point Hut Crossing.

Here's a map: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?hl=en&am...615234&z=11

If anyone's interested, we can organise a BBQ or just drinks to put some more cash towards the banner. Or we can go to have lunch somewhere.

We'll be stopping at at least four places so there'll be planty of opportunities to take photos.

If anyone hasn't been out that way before, I've done this route lots of times on motorbikes and a few times with a car and it is lots of fun so if you're borred of driving from one traffic light to another I guarantee you'll enjoy this. The roads are good and if we go in the morning, traffic is usually minimal.

Cheers

7th would be better cos there's that motorkhana on the 24th... seems to suit most ppl anyway..

I'd love to come but it's a bit too early for me lol, I had enough trouble making 1pm (as everybody knows :ermm: )

It's looking more and more like the 7th.

Come on Shel, stop being so soft, you know you want to come :thumbsup:

Ps: it doesn't matter what car you come in, even a Datto 260Z will be ok although I'm yet to be convinced that it exists :ermm: having said that, open wheelers should probly be left at home

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
