Sorry peoples, we've had to cancel this cruise...

Newcastle is gonna be chaos, there's a festival on, school holidays, possible rain, and a few other factors working against us. Instead, we urge you to attend the Putty Road cruise put on by SAU-NSW. Details can be found here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pu...09-t286278.html

after the awesome weekend just gone and after the good turn out @ the stag meet in syd earlier this year i rekon its time for a cruise in newcastle, me and wifey often drive around looking for photo spots, we rekon weve found some awesome places,

theres plenty of room on the foreshore for us to park/have a bbq/play some football or whatever, then head off for some photos maybe(got some awesome photographers among us on here) would be awesome for the skylines to join as well as there are tons of skylines around here, if the weathers good then im sure it would be a brilliant day for all,

post up what dates are good for everyone then we can all settle a time/place/date later,

hope the rest of you guys and girls think this is a good idea like i do

mods feel free to copy this into the nsw forum for the skyline boys/girls, if the stag boys/girls dont mine them coming lol,

thanks guys

Edit by Mod:

Date: Saturday, 10th of October, 2009

Time: 11-11.30am meet-up at Newcastle.

Destination: Horseshoe Beach carpark, near the intersection of Nobbys Road and Shortland Esplanade (GoogleMaps Link).

A wet-weather back-up is the sheds on The Foreshore along Wharf Road (GoogleMaps Link)

Cruise Meeting Point for Sydney Attendees: The Berowra Truck Stop, Pacific Highway, Berowra (just North of Berowra railway station - GoogleMaps Link)

Departure time for Sydney crew: Meet at 8.30-8.45am for a 9.15am SHARP departure.

This is mainly a Stagea cruise, but others are more than welcome to join us too. However, it is a cruise, and I stress that NO RACING OR IDIOTIC, ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR will be tolerated while we're on the streets, at the meeting points, or anywhere in between. As a representative (and especially as Vice-President) of SAU-NSW, I do not want the good reputation of our forums and the club to be ruined by a few idiots who can't control themselves!

This is the latest list of people attending (updated 5/10/2009):

I'm keen - haven't been up to Newcastle for a while, this will be a good chance!

I've got a busy couple of months ahead, helping organise SAU-NSW events, but will see what the consensus is on when people prefer to do this, and I'll make a huge effort to squeeze this in!

I'll start the ball rolling with dates :P

Ideal weekends for us (fat-lad & I) in the next month or so are:

12th/13th September

26th/27th September

10th/11th October

any of those dates should be fine for me

Sounds good, I'll keep my eyes on the thread.

If we do it on a Saturday we should book out Formula 1 at Wallsend and get out for a few bevies Saturday night and drive home Sunday sometime.

:P

:D

If a few people are keen you can stay right in newcastle either at the ibis which works out close to the F1 $$$ wise or if you can hack the hostel thing there is a good YHA right on newcastle beach. If your lucky enough you might be able to score a room with a hot Swedish backpacker girl.

Just an option because Wallsend is like the Penrith of Newcastle. No offence to anyone from the rif.

Also those dates are good for me. The sooner someone makes a call the better.

my prob is if it's in Sept my race schedule takes precedence.....sorry have to go scare myself at least once to twice a month

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
