yeah look, i'm in for cruises and dinner meets, but if this is gonna turn out to be some skid runs and "check me out i'm a touge superstar" event, then count me out. Besides, my gearbox is fucked for now, so I can't be goin up mountians.

Funky is right guys.

What my initial plans was/is to have an initial meet up at one location for drinks or dinner just to guage who would be interested for a casual mid-week meet. Now, there is no reason we can't all go for a cruise somewhere afterwards.

In terms of double meeting points, great idea....but still this is just a casual thing so far, so if anyone is keen, have a look at the following details and reply in here if you are available or not :)

Wednesday Night Meet #1 Details:

Place: Pig 'n Whistle Indooroopilly (Indro Shoppingtown).

Corner of Station and Musgrave Road.

Time: 7.30pm in the Outdoor Bar (Street side of the pub, near the ATM's and foodcourt entrance).

When: Wednesday 10th September.

By 7.30 peak hour is well and truly over which is typically quieter on a Wednesday anyway. This is a social event that will hopefully grow to be a fortnightly meet and continue to see more people attend each time it is held! :down: Everyone is welcome along with partners and friends, just bring your friendly attitude.

There is obviously plenty of parking, and at 7.30 the Musgrave Road side of Indro Shoppingtown will have plenty of parks for the Skylines to line up next to each other which is perfectly lit and in sight of their owners, even while dining in the restaurant :(

....and please, anyone who will be attending, be on your best behavior when arriving and leaving the complex....so keep any spirited driving at bay.

Cheers,

Sambo.

yeah would be keen to meet and greet a few skyline owners and just chew the fat. live in reddy so not to far go. should hopefully be getting me car back from the tuners this week or next week. but you count me in for future meets. a suggestion for mountain cruisers. maleny and mont ville are a nice cruise on the weekends as well.

Alright guys, I've compiled a list as accurate to your responses as I can to determine who is coming, who isn't and who might be....let me know underneath whats happening anyway :wub:

So who has a spare seat if we go for a cruise up to mt coot tha afterwards? :P

Edited by Sambo33gtst

Lol well looks like both funky and myself will be someone's bitch on the night :P

Looking forward to it....the summit cafe has rad ice cream too, definately hitting that sh!t up when we get there lol

Hey, i know this says "mid-week meet ups" but was wondering if there was anything going on this weekend? ill be in Brisbane area staying round indropilly(sp?) friday through to sunday. Would be great to meet some more skyline people. If not i guess ill just keep a eye out for all of you.

Cheers,

Allara xx

I havent organised anything on the weekend as such....maybe check out the events forum section closer to the weekend, or there might be a few people who read this and want to organise something :D maybe make a new thread to get some interest going...

I know ill be busy on the weekend so unfortunately I won't be doing anything :P

    • 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.
