Hi for all those who haven't been in the northside topic but want to get in on a cruise we are planning the following (note we are open to suggestions and ideas especially from people who have planned cruises before)

The route is yet to be determined and finalized and will be updated as we go. So far I have the following info:

The cruise will start at Hungry Jacks morayfield at aprox 7:30pm we will wait there untill 8pm then begin our run down into burpengary (if someone knows a good location to park in burpengary please let us know) (approx stopping time in burpengary will be 15 mins) then from there we will continue to D'Bay where we will stop at the shell service station on deception bay road this will be an approx 20 min stop so people can chat and refuel. From there I am hoping to find a few people in redcliffe that want to join in and we will cut a lap down there and stop to do a meet and greet(once again a suitable location for parking and conversation would be appreciated...somewhere near the water front.) for about 30 mins. Then as many people seem to be in bracken ridge a run from Redcliffe via the hornybrook bridge down to bracken ridge (yet another location we will need suitable parking at) stopping for about 20 mins to collect more people for the cruise. From bracken ridge we could cruise back up the highway to the BP service stations that are on the bruce highway just south of the Buchannans road exit. From there the suggestion for a final stop at The great outdoors centre on morayfield road was suggested for some conversation and to say goodbye and share our thoughts on the cruise and what could be done to improve it for the next one.

I have tried to keep travel in the suburbs to a minimum to maximise the quallity of the drive (60 in a skyline is like taking a hot chick home and all you get is a hand job...) Anyone with suggestions please PM me or post Also the route can be changed subject to the level of interest and participation of other skyline owners. I am hoping to finish up at about 12-1am but if people would like to stay on and chat for longer thats cool.

So far the interested parties are as follows:

RandomHero83 : morayfield HJ's Meeting point

Date in title changed as per posts below :cool: - Revhead

how are you for the friday omy-33? we could do it on the friday night if u wanted seeing as you were one of the people that helped get this idea rolling it's only fitting your able to participate.

Sweet rolzy32 we should get a bit of interest in it i hope.

^^^^lol^^^^

um i can meet u either in hj's or burpenary it doesn't really worry me?

i won't b driving very hard either, water pump has decided 2 start leaking when i got the clutch changed, so it'll b back in the workshop soon. lol

ok HJ's would be best so there is at least of us from the first leg. Damn thats gotta suck is it just a seal or is it the pump itself?

GTST u gonna come on this cruise? if so what stop are you gonna get in with it?

We'll gun for between 7:30 and 8 then we ill go to wollies car park in burpengary for 15 mins then we will go to the shell in D'bay for 15 mins then if the lads in northlakes decide to join in we will go down to the BP on the main drag there then back up the highway to the great outdoors centre thats the route atm unless people add to it by sayin something along the lines of "oi i'm at (insert location here) and i wanna be a part of it add a stop for me" prob be more chattin and checkin ouyt cars than cruising atm due to the lack of people atm. so it will be a rest for your car if need be i can alway pick ya up and spare your line's water pump the strain.

yeah so we are a go for friday night not saturday night guys FRIDAY the 15th not saturday the 16th. the order of visit atm is HJ's morayfield (7:30-8:00) wollies burpengary 8:15-8:30 then to d'bay shell on d'bay road. unless we get some interest from somewhere else before lunchtime tomorrow we will be going from d'bay up the highway back to the great outdoors centre carbark on morayfield rd.

People comming so far:

Randomhero83 - morayfield hj's

omy-33 - morayfield hj's

dantay - Burpengary wollies carpark

Epyon - not sure where yet

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
