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

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
