ok, there is a HUGE cruis being held at the end of march, being organised by WPR (Wolf Pack Racing tongue.gif ), and it extends too all areas, but the cruise will be from Taree to Newcastle.... but that doesnt mean that u cant just show up at Newcastle and hang out, and check out the cars smile.gif i just copied n pasted this from the WPR facebook even description (i was the one who wrote it, but i didnt wanna re-write it).

Ok guys, march 28th at the Taree Service Centre on the highway (maccas/BP etc) at 9am.

we will wait her for late comers till 9:30am, and have a chat between ourselves.. it will be out the back in the truck stop part of the car park, cos its the largest area and we are expecting alot of people...

9:30am we hit the highway heading for Newcastle. the destination is DIXON PARK IN NEWY.... this beach has a LARGE car park to accomodate all our vehicles, and they have a kiosk thingy with hot chips etc etc. although they are slightly overpriced, being a beach kiosk, so dont be opffended at the prices. lol.

from here we will hang out for a while, till maybe 1 or 2pm, a bit after lunch. u can all go for a swing, or hang out and chat, whatever best suits. then we will be cruising through too newy foreshore carpark, cos thats how we roll.... plus it will be good too show off our large collection of cars too the boys n girls down newy way.

after this, we will be heading home. now i know a reasonably sized group of us will all be heading back to taree/forster/port/coffs harbour together, so it will be like another cruise on the way home, so keep us all in the loop when your leaving if u wanna have another large group escort you home, lol.

SYDNEY/CENTRAL COAST CRUISERS!!! if mark or myself (Tyrone) get a couple of people interested, i will also organise a group meet down there so u can meet up with us at newy, although if there is only a few interested, i sugest you make your way to Newy yourselves, and meet up with us at Dixon Park .... its on Memorial Drive in NEWY

UPDATE!!!!!!!!! FOR SYDNEY/CENTRAL COAST MEMBERS!!!

-All Sydney member wanting too meet up and cruise together will be meeting at THORNLEIGH MACCAS at 9:00.... you will be leaving by 9:20, so try and be on time otherwise u will miss the people heading up. my mate statik will either be in a lexus, or a pimpin lil charade i daresay, and will be at this meet point. so keep your eyes open.

-meet at Wyong north bound Twin Service station at 10:15 out the back in the truck car park.... everyone will be leaving here at 10:45, so dont be late. James will be here in a maroon R31 skyline, and Raquel should be there in a white 300zx too.

- from here, you will cruise up the highway and meet at the HEXHAM MACCAS. this should take 45 mins, so u will be there around 11:30. and the main group from Taree will be cruising past around midday. i will give my mate Statik a call about 5 mins before the main group gets to hexham. at this point, you should all be ready to leave. i will then give him a call once we hit the hexham bridge, so u can get to the traffic lights, and follow us along to DIXON PARK. we wont be hard to miss smile.gif

You will need...

a full tank of petrol

drinks for on the way

sunscreen cos its a beach and will be hot)

2 way radio's (if you choose) for a bit of fun... these are not essential

a positive fun attitude and respect for all drivers

we are out to have fun and appreciate our cars guys. i know people coming from places like sydney, newy, taree, forster, port, armidale, tamworth, coffs harbour, scotts head, and even QLD (yes Danny, you) for this cruise. it should be massive, and in saying this, please have some repect for all drivers on the road. come have fun, and show off your cars and meet some new peeps.

On the day, if u think you need a mobile number too keep in contact with myself or Mark, look for the White Nissan Exa. i will give my number out upon request if you think you need it if your gonna get lost or left nehind, although we wont be going at an excessive pace, so everyone should be right to go smile.gif

any questions, shoot them below, and we will answer as soon as possible. everyone is welcome, no matter what u drive, so bring your mates, and your mates mates, cos i guarantee this is gonna be the biggest cruise Taree has seen in a long time.

last cruise was somethin like 46 cars, lets double it guys!!! Also HPI (High Performance Imports - Magazine) have been sent a personal invitation to attend this event.

compak attack is on the same day

yeah...it would be really dumb to spend 1/2 the day on the highway going to Newcastle and back when all the good action is at your doorstep at Sydney Dragway.

another really dumb thing is to meet at Dixon Park...the police/DECC will be waiting for you there.

    • 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.
