Hi guys and girls

I'm flying up to Brisbane on Wed and staying for a few days in an apartment near the city (Melbourne st -westend I think) and thought it would be a chance to put faces to some of the names I regularly see here on the forums.

Looks like there is no organised cruise this weekend but I was wondering if you (or other imports) meet informally at any local spots (that are easy for rubber necked visitors to find)

I don’t know if I will have Internet access at the apartments, (so it may not be worth replying later in the week - I'll logon if I can though), but I just thought it would be good to see what goes on in the land of the banana benders.

Harry's Diner (northside) is supposed to be very good, not exactly sure which nights.

Macca's carpark Milton is good Friday nights.

Broadwater carpark (gold coast) on Saturday nights - after 10pm :D

Or alternatively, go to Roma Street on a Thursday night and sit there and wait for the many cars/groups to come in and leave. I personally won't be out on thursday night and probably not till late on saturday night (family engagements) if at all. Otherwise I would have tried to organise a cruise :|

Thanks for the quick responces.

Looks like i'll have to visit milton maccs on Thursday night.

What time do things kick off? no use getting there 2 early coz I'll only end up eating too much (can a stomach be considered excess luggage when flying?) I'd rather go home with a few new bits for the car.

but its still driveable - i just have to whack that support bar back in. Speedo, etc is gonna have to sit there resting behind the steering wheel. Ghetto mods at its best.. hehe

    • 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.
    • 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.
