Well here is an update,

It looks like we will be meeting at probably 6c and either Grey Gum or macca's at windsor.

I'm thinking of getting away about 9am from windsor so as to get a full day for a nice relaxing cruise.

Hopefully we should be back sometime around 5:30 - 6pm. (have to finalise these details though)

Numbers are good so far (see above) and more are welcome.

Cheers,

Dan.

If I remember correctly - which I do, this road will, after much interesting scenery, (Straights, sweepers, U-bends, very little traffic) will lead us to the Hunter Valley - which, if I remember correctly - which I do, is a real challenge for those who may enjoy fermented grape juice. I ponder - is it a more efficient use of PULP to kill two birds, so to speak, and make an arrangement for those with a liking for the grape juice to sample some of the same whilst in the region.

Think of the good we can do for the environment!!!!

Wadda ya reckon - fatz - dan - paul - dean???

Gotta work Dan, sorry. Sounds like it'll be a good turnout :)

YOU SUCK!! :talk2hand :hellpisd:

you could still bring me back something from o/sea's tho. :) :headbang: :fro:

:eek:

now who hijacked my thread... let me see... if I catch the bas... (sees who it is and gets up from computer, walks into other room where dad is)... well now that that is sorted out... it appears that dad is good at reasoning!!!

Well wine tasting as well...this will be a long day... and I have to be at work at 5:15 the next morning!

Well, lets have a show of hands on who would like to possibly do a wine tasting lunch as well. Maybe we might have to split into non tasters and tasters for the return journey.

If we are going to go it will take a bit more research as to where we can park all these cars. Dad and I will look into it and see... but it could be possible... even still getting back pretty early (6:00-6:30pm) to windsor.

Has anyone heard from oz recently??? his knowledge of this area would be invaluable... if anyone sees/talks to him send him here for his advice!

And loz we may be able to push the start time back a bit... maybe half an hour... but it will take us all day to do the cruise! and it IS worth while coming... anyone who has been before will tell you that... and everyone that is coming along for the first time will tell you that on the night of Sunday the 3rd of November after they get back!!!

did I miss anything???

Duncan and Kel, Fatz, does this mean that you'll be along? Good to have you as always Xrsist.

Cheers,

Dan.

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
