In the tradition of all cruises.... please post wrap up stuff here.

Thanks very much Dan for going to the trouble of doing the cruise notes. A pity about the weather, but it gave us time to enjoy the scenery.

I felt really sorry for the guy in the S15 before we started the cruise. Didn't actually see it happen cuz I was looking the other way, but saw the aftermath :D

Guess that was a very sobering warning to us all to take it easy, which we surely did with the weather.

Other things of note on the cruise were:

- Muztek showing up to the meetpoint then pissing off :D

- that retarded woman in the compact SUV doing half the speed limit for 30 mins while gawking at trees

- that sneaky cop hidden away behind some bushes on a side street

- Hamish's front bar

- the massive fog

- The gold-award winning Pepper Steak Pies at Gaffney's bakery in Yea

- Perfect SAU hoodie weather

Was a modest group, but was kinda good in that way, as no-one got lost or left behind.

Sorry Dan, just realised it should probably be you starting this thread. :P

It rained a bit. Roads never really dried out. Then we hit fog on Mt Macedon. No-one was taking the corners at any decent speed cuz it was slippery.

I had fun today so did Peter.

Pity about the S15...

The weather is the usual Melbourne '4 seasons a day' the fog up in Mt Macedon is unbelievable!

I may have broken something on my GTR - I'm beginning to think cruises isn't for me!

And many thanks to Dan for organising today cruise and route map.

Cheers

Was a good cruise although the weather was a bit crappy for most of it but we did have some good reasonably dry parts. Some of those roads are car breaking suspension flexing HELL!!!! My ass is killing me from some of them! The pies in Yea might have been award winning but the fricken donuts from that food shop were teh aidz!! I felt like i'd just sucked down a doughy sponge full of oil and coated in sugar mmmm yummy :D

I have 3.1GB of windscreen mounted video from Maccas to the Mountain if anyone wants, it's not the greatest quality (640x480) and it has no audio but it's good to see it from another perspective I suppose.

The Fog at the mountain was real bad, could barely see the car 10m in front of you, not even the lights.

I left you guys on the way back (took the Gisborne exit to Melton) so only waved to couple of you but I had a great time.

PS - bugger bout the silvia too, I only saw him turn the corner and then saw the pole shake but yeah, the thing was farked! I loved those rims too!

PPS - Well done Dan, great cruise and great notes. Thanks for putting the effort in.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
