Well i've never been on a cruise so it would up to someone else to put it together. But if everyone puts ideas forward like a place to start, BBQ, or place to have lunch.

Do people do night time cruises?

Put ideas down and lets see what happens

Ok, well the best bet i think will be to pick a date with a bit of lead time and go with it. A day cruise i think would be best for those who might potentially come up from bunbury way (if there is anything other than utes down there...jj) or like our thread starter from Gero. Good dedication!

So maybe a Saturday or Sunday from 11ish, start in the city, head out through the hills for a lunch spot Mundaring Weir way and back into the city. Realistically with how hard to plan peoples availability these things tend to be, it will need to be after easter, so 18-19 April weekend would be earliest I would think.

Hey guys another Perth V35 owner. I only just got my car. Imported it through J-spec. Will put some pics up with the timeline as welll. I would be down for a cruize any time:-)

Heer is a pic of the car in Tokyo.

Need to take some new pics with the car all detailed:-)

Cheers Deano

There are obviously others around, have seen [sTR8 G] a couple of time in North Perth, who ever own [VV 35 WA] lives a couple of blocks south of me, have seen a couple of black ones around and a lady who works at the same company as me has one but I guess they aren't forum regulars/users :P

edit: looks at str8g's pics haha, hey you had a pic of a silver car for your avatar :)

ill be organising a vq cruise late april early may. this gives time for v35 owners to join sau and prepare for this. also will be with some of the z boys from perth soo hopefully we can make it happen. stay tuned.

ps. im 7th? plus i know a few more guys on this forum. pulp (nice blue v) and kurt (white anni edition with 10k+ sound system) and 2 others that havnt joined as yet.

its been a long time coming guys :P

Bump

We need more WA V35's if we're going to do a cruise.

I think the count is 6

Yeh fair point, obviously the more the better, so maybe someone should flick a PM to those guys we know are on SAU with a 35 but maybe dont hit the forums as often as they used to. With that said though, I'd still be happy to roll with 6 cars if it came to it, its ok to start small!

Also, on the vq cruise, whilst it would definately get good numbers I must say I am really keen to also do a just 35's as per this thread, I guess its something about being an import... theres something about being prepared to forego warranty, sometimes DIY import, tough out insurance dramas and the like that I personally am keen to chat over with others. Not to mention getting that damn Jap stereo the way we want it!

To any guest V35 owners in WA. If your having trouble with the registery on SAU it might be your email address. "Westnet" address sometimes don't work. get a hotmail one, thats what i had to do. don't know why.

Hope to see more WA owners, and if you know anyone in WA with one get them on SAU so we can meet up :D

lol its not only 6. i have 4 other members which i know will be interested. also 3 others with 4 doors so thats 7. havnt heard from some of them for a while and was going to hit them up for the cruise i was going to organise. if you guys really just want a v35 cruise then best bet would be near end of year as 6 wouldnt really be considered a cruise and dont know how fun it would be. imo 15+ would be ideal. pick a bbq spot then meet and chat with new ppl/v35 owners.

that being said if you guys still want to go ahead with this cruise and having trouble with maps etc i have a few. some have had runs and others made but havnt had the opportunity for the go ahead.

either way would be a great day and would be funny to see ppl turning heads and questioning themselves what car we are driving. :P

    • 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. 
    • 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.
