Hi All,

It's that time of year.....with a little twist..

Around this time each year we all get up nice and early, trek out to a rural McDonalds for an early morning feed and a chat with some new and old friends, then get ready for a great day out and about with like minded people!

This is one of our annual events and it tends to be one of the most popular; probably because it's generally free which leaves us with more money to spend on the car :P . Compared to some of our other events, this is probably the most laid back, no 'social drinks' before the cruise, no drag strip, no race track, just a bunch of skylines, some stageas, random Nissans and usually one or two other types of cars cruising together enjoying one of the nicest roads NSW has to offer.

We will cruise from windsor macca's at 10:30am sharp and head up to the halfway house on Putty road (approx 1.5 hours or so into the journey) where we will have a stop of about 15 mins from when the last car parks to have a toilet/fuel/drink stop (note, this station is a shell but doesn't have 98ron fuel, or didn't last time anyway). SAU NSW Committee members will lead the way and be scattered throughout the pack to ensure people don't get lost and of course to make sure everyone is behaving themselves as this is a public road :D

After that we will head to singleton for lunch, we will spend about 1.5 - 2 hours in singleton. Note Singleton does have a Shell not far from lunch that does sells 98 ron.

After Lunch it will be up to you all what you do. What we generally decide to do is head off to sample a few of the local fermented grape juices and perhaps some old mouldy dairy products. All are more than welcome to tag along.

If you don't think you will be up for the drive back home you can also spend the night; I will look in to some accom options if people are interested. please post up if you would like to spend the night, then we can look at some of those 'social drinks' :yes:

Now for that 'Little Twist'..

SAU NSW has decided to use the Putty Road event as a Charity Cruise, to help raise some money for a local charity and give some thing back to the community and help out those who really need it!! Everyone has a reason for donating to their own charity, which is why it makes it hard for us to chose any one charity to donate to, what we have decided to do is put up to you, the members. The Executive committee have each chosen a charity they want to donate too and we would like you to vote for the charity we donate the cash to.

If we do any more charity cruises/events before the next Putty Road Cruise we will donate to the 2nd highest charity and so on. Next year we will re-do the vote and choose a new group do donate too.

Please use the voting buttons at the top of the page to vote for your charity.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
