Hey,

On Jan 1st I am going on a fishing trip to the far west coast at Yalata.

For the 10 days i'm going to need a quad bike for the beach.

Is there anyone on here that knows where I can hire one for a good price or even borrow one of someone for some cash.

Please PM me!

thanks

i have 2 quads but im not real keen on you taking them down the beach.

there both racing quads anyway so not ideal for what you require.

what you really need is a old farm quad like a timberwolf or trx etc that has racks for your esky and tackle box etc.

often find them cheap on ebay.

failing that theres lots of cheap chinese quads around at the moment.

just get a 2nd hand one thats still running and use that for the trip.

im thinking around the $300 mark should get you something half useful, and then just sell it as soon as you get back before it rusts.

also take a heap of crc with you and go to town on the quad before you ride on the beach the first time.

are you going with someone else that has a quad?

if so a small trailer maybe an option.

you can get them about 1m square, they weigh stuff all so easy to tow and you can sit in that.

mount a swivel chair in the middle and you can back it up to the surf and fish away.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
