Hey guys,

Im only new here, but i have organised this cruise on Boost Cruising and Club High Rollers and going to put it here as well for all who are interested.

It will be held on SUNDAY 13TH DECEMBER. If everyone would like to meet at BP Coomera, anyone further south perhaps can organise to meet on the way. We will be going through the ranges but please keep in mind this is a cruise not a race.

As per general rules, stupid behaviour will not be tolerated in anyway. We might throw a BBQ near one of the beaches in Byron or a bit further south like last time this cruise was on. If people have footies or Frisbees or anything like that bring them along for something to do while stopped.

Make sure you bring your CB radio as well. invite your mates should be a great day!

WHERE: BP Coomera

ARRIVE: 9:30am

LEAVE: 10:00am

we will jump on the M1 and we'll take the Southport-Nerang Rd Exit and follow on to Byron. We will follow that road through and then turn right onto North Arm Road. Follow that until turning right into Park Avenue and left onto Kyogle Road.

Follow on until Wollumbin St and then left onto Tweed Valley Way which take us all the way back to the Motorway where we'll head South until Ewingsdale Road which heads straight into Byron.

This cruise was a huge success last time we had it sooo much fun great people great day.! :bowrofl:

we are going to be back in the Gold Coast in time to do a spit cruise in the afternoon for all who are interested as well.

Any questions pm me - hope heaps can make it!

please express if you would like to come or not on here so i can track numbers, we are close on 25 cars at the moment. hoping for a few more.

thanks!

Hi Guys,

According to posts and PM's confirmed numbers are

48 Cars in total coming from a number of clubs - Boost Cruising, Club High Rollers, Skylines Australia and a couple of other sites by word of mouth (add about another 10 cars).

58 CARS IN TOTAL! Pending everyone coming - looks like its going to be a HUGE turn out..

WOW! Look forward to seeing everyone there, dont forget BRING WALKIE TALKIES!

Maybe Just Dave might be able to make it to the spit in the afternoon to get some happy snaps :-)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @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.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @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.
