Well to all those that actually turned up... *cough cough* Adam.... what the hell???? Was a good cruise on some awesome roads! Didn't do the "planned" cruise (sorry if anyone was planning to meet up with us) - but made up our own and did some roads that I'm sure most of you hadn't been on before. Gold star to the guys from the northern suburbs, hopefully it was worth the drive down south. So apart from the odd shower or two you missed out on a good drive if you didn't come!!

just spoke to adams misses cos the little biach hasnt been answering my calls or messages today... Apparantly she picked him up from town at like 5 and he was well loose been in bed all day..... :S

that dodgy son'biatch! :D

was a good cruise tho! enjoyed it very much, and will prlly be my last cruise before i leave the country, so was great to get out one last time :down:

thanks for the cruising guys!

dont worry bout it mate the weather was to crappy to be heading out to victor anyway... we'll defiantly help organize one... me and rodders got few good roads in mind... some of which we covered today...

Hey all, was a good cruise.

Sorry to the guy in the ford and the stagea that got stuck behind me (granny spec magna!!!)

was interesting in the random rain/hurricane bit we went through :)

I was going to take pictures but was way too cold / wet :)

Once again, sorry if I slowed anyone down :)

will deff be putting another one together with rodders and alex soon.

Where's the love Adam!!?!?!? Haha... I vote we do another cruise of similar roads to today - some very nice smooth roads - especially the hill climb section, one of my favourite bits of tarmac.

I reckon the Magna and Nigel's Falcon kept up pretty well considering.

The one from Strath through Echunga to Hahndorf gets 5 stars.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
