I met up at Newy at the start of the cruise. There was one incident - a P plater travelling with us got pulled over by highway patrol on the way down to Sydney.

Someone should have photos. The orange car had its passenger hanging out the window taking pic at least.

I thought the white supra was nice, the red RX7, and the dark green chaser whos owner i was chatting to - 285rwhp with only front mount exhaust and a bleed valve.

Yeah, Jye got pulled over.... (i came from newy so i know most of them)...

and RSEA is a VERY nice supra... unfortunately the RX7 had cooling problems... so that's a bit of a bummer...

And yeah, Tubby's car (chaser) is a nice ride... he was a bit dissapointed that he lost the 'sleeper' look with the FMIC though... lol

I don't think i saw you there though Mark, what car where you in?

Hey all,

Cheers for the great day, had good weather for it too.

Ya know i'm still scratching my head over the worked camry.... i mean WHY WORK A CAMRY. Besides that it was a good chance to check out some others works and match a few names and faces.

As for the highlight of the day, moanie and her new clutch.... from out of nowhere there would be this mad reving, you look over to see a very nice looking/sounding car and its matching driver and think "gee... which is hotter".

End of mindless flattery......

i was gonna say "Gee... which is louder" :D

hahaha...thanks simon! but its the car thats hot! :D

and that camry was awesome!!!! i loved it!! i wanted to do that with my corolla! hehe...probably would have, if i'd known more about engines! :)

:D at tosh...that launch was awesome! :) i think i always pull the unplanned ones off...but the minute someones watching i forget how to drive :(

:) at tim...its hard to get used to...i sometimes forget i have a twin plate and try to launch normally....ahh well...instinct will eventually kick in ;)

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
