!!!DEPOSIT $20 IN THE SAU BANK ACCOUNT IF YOU WANT TO EAT AT THE PUB - OTHERWISE MAKE YOUR OWN ARRANGMENTS!!!

Hi All,

It's that time of year again!

Around this time each year we all get up nice and early, trek out to a rural McDonalds for an early morning feed and a chat with some new and old friends; then get ready for a great day out and about with like minded people!

This is one of our annual events and it tends to be one of the most popular; probably because it's pretty cheap which leaves us with more money to spend on the car. Compared to some of our other events, this is probably the most laid back, no 'social drinks' before the cruise, no drag strip, no race track, just a bunch of skylines, some stageas, random Nissans and usually one or two other types of cars cruising together enjoying one of the nicest roads NSW has to offer.

We will cruise from Windsor macca's at 10:30am sharp and SAU NSW Committee members will lead the way and be scattered throughout the pack to ensure people don't get lost and of course to make sure everyone is behaving themselves, as this is a public road. We will TRY and organise some maps as well... just in case…

After the rest we will head to singleton for lunch, where we will spend about 1.5 - 2 hours in singleton.

Note Singleton does have a Shell not far from lunch that does sell 98 ron.

After Lunch it will be up to you as for what you do now. Usually some people decide to head off to sample a few of the local fermented grape juices and perhaps some old mouldy dairy products. Or just head back to Sydney whatever way you want..

SAU NSW has decided to use the Putty Road event as a Charity Cruise, to help raise some money for a local charity, give some thing back to the community and help out those who really need it!!

We voted last year and Cancer Council was the chosen charity to donate too, this year we are choosing the second place option, which was the RSPCA.

EVENT DETAILS

Date: 24/10/09

Meeting place: Windsor Maccas, corner of Groves ave and Windsor road, McGraths Hill (Why do they call it Winsdor Maccas?). Right next to Winford Motors with the big Wizard out the front.

Meeting time: 9:30 for Breaky and a 10:30am SHARP departure.

Cruise Route: PUTTY ROAD BABY!

Destination: Imperial Hotel, Singleton. (lunch stop) Corner of John St and Elizabeth St

Parking: there is parking at the pub and on surrounding streets

Time Frame: Allow all day.

Cost: Members = $5 per car & Gold Coin Donation per passenger (or more if you like), Non members = $10 per car + gold coin donation from passengers.

Please note that CAMS require that we have a fee paid by non-members. This also then means that you can be covered by CAMS Public liability for the duration of the event. But you will have to abide by the rules and regs for the day. These will be available on the day or earlier by PM me or any of the Executive Committee.

Meeting Point!

Meeting in the carpark with the circle and tick. This is an old photo, so for those that dont know the area there is now a KFC here as well.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
