suggestion; keep the discussion of what happened on the cruise off the boards.

not being an ass, just sayin. fair enough announcing it here, but this;

just next time SS can go to the back because it was slowing us down ... turbo VL's were no problem(kicked my ass) lol... 2 32's mates infact hit each other, hope it wasn't too bad...

you could probably afford to not say.

and they wonder why we no longer advertise cruises?? (and presumably why they dont get invited to them) =\

LOL.. I dont think anyone really cares about "your runs" or getting invited keiichi. When we go out with the regulars 400kw is considered a slow daily.

You totally missread his post.

The ss was some random that was doing 50 in an 80 zone and holding everyone up even the traffic behind us.. About the vlt part, We where saying how well they where keeping to the speed limit and not doing 50 like that ss in such a bad handling car. The two r32's that hit each other was only a minor tap, What happened was one guy got confused and went to turn right instead of left, Then all of a sudden turned left as the black r32 was pulling out.. resulting in a small scrape..

Everyone was well behaved and no one went over the speed limit the whole time up there, I should know, I was at the back in a standard 1.3lt carby ke70 and keeping up even going up the hills.. So thats saying something.

Also we have more common sence than doing anything stupid on the street, We dont all travel to heathcote to race for nothing.

:)

Hey Guys, this is my first post, I was the guy in the Mazda 6 last night. I was with the guy in the SS, He said he's sorry for holding you all up, not the right car for that sort of thing. Can I also add, to the dude in the red VL at the front, not sure if he is on this forum or not... Your a f**king good driver!

And for everyones information that Red vl leading at the front (without body kit) Wasn't even turbo lol, N/A 5spd.

The 32's nudging each other was retarded and impact at all of 2km/h...

But it wasn't a bad night, football traffic made getting our way to the hills an absolute nightmare and sorry for that guys but noone got lost so all was fine

Scandyflick & Fishpaste I don't know how new to the car and cruise scene you think I am but I am defently not new to it at all and hey if you think your too high profile to let me know about your secret runs then thats upto you lol whatever?

Hahahaha

I'd say both up and down the hill was at the speed limit. Some people on here need to chill

Sounds like it was a good night, will catch the next one :)

and Scandy/Fishpaste, I agree with what you said but it turns out maybe it wasnt as bad as that post made it sound - sorry ripper it did sound a lil sus lol.

98% of Friday nights I get an SMS for something which sounds very similar to what you do Scandy, but unfortunately it doesnt guarantee there wont be idiots like when people tell people, cars tag on during the night etc.

first post and first skyline based cruise, great turnout and good fun. nice to finally meet people who know there sh1t about their cars :D from what i saw everyone was well behavied wish sapol could see that not everyone blocks roads and does burnout's. last but not least go the dirty30 :)

Hey people,

Was a great cruise, I was there, right behind the N/A VL all the way up, that guy has good control, very neat around the hairpins.

Weez thanks for officiating, I will definitely be up for more of this.

Nice to see we are a mature bunch, we can have a nice cruise without any hooning/retardation/burnouts/crazy speeds. It was my kind of cruise.

We had a police car stop just to say G'day when we got to the top, he could see there were no issues to worry about. Also got bretho'd on the way home, again no dramas. I'm glad to see police are keeping a cool head and not punishing the masses for the few wanks that are out there.

Hit me with an SMS or PM if there is another one, I will be there.

You totally misread his post.

Sorry for the susness then.. (explained in detail for those that misread like scandy and fishpaste) lol

Keep your runs to yourself then mate!

This was good run and SS driver (was a champ in person) its all good man just pull over next time ey... thankgod for petrol station! haha wouldn't have made it home otherwise.. Great cruise/road with great people.. sat nights are much better for me anyways so send me a PM next time you organize 1 Weezy :thumbsup:

like in 2 wk ends time? :3some:

Thanks for the great comments guys,

    • 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.
