Food, Beer, Talks, People, Cars, Beer and laughs!

These social meetings are divided into two parts, the first if your hungry is a meal from the bistro and a chance to have a chat with other members then the second is a short informal meeting.

We use these meetings to give quick rundowns on past events with video's, pictures and stories etc, to address pressing matters, tell members what's happening behind the scenes and for discussion on upcoming events. It's all pretty relaxed and fun. This is a great opportunity for those of you who don't know too many members to come down and mix as new faces are always welcomed.

Time - 8.00pm start, dinner from 6.30 ish

Date - Tuesday 22 June 2010

Location - Bell's Hotel, 157 Moray St, South Melbourne (Cnr Moray St & Coventry

St Melways Ref - 57, G1)

We will be UPSTAIRS

Note - This Pub is family friendly with an area set aside for us. There is plenty of seating (tables and chairs) and meals for all.

Who is welcome - Everyone!

MERCHANDISE

- Let me know if there is anything you would like me to bring along for you to look at.

Hope to see you all there.

:P

i realise this, but after looking through the event clender.... it a bit of a waste this year as theres nothing i would attend... :D

i like to cruise... my car is auto... not built for track, although it could if i threw a manual in, plenty of supporting mods.

You can apply online mate - you don't even need to leave the house :(

www.sauvic.com.au

Just follow the online application info there :(

Cruises only go up 6-8 weeks before they come around usually (and we shoot around an email etc)

We try our best to "forecast" those types of things but cruise dates often change 3-4 times before we settle on them and announce as we need several Committee members to attend etc for insurance/cruise management :D

Our next cruise is late July down to Arthurs Seat (which ill add into the Calendar later tonight :()

And once the weather warms up there will be more regular ones - winter is a bit harder as some events do require reasonable weather.

so basically your saying that the more minor cruises are not mentioned on the main calender? more on the private member forum?.

im still trying to get used 2 victorias car scene... its much smaller then what im used 2. i used 2 cruise almost every friday night and sunday up in nsw, weather permitting. :(

btw, i also know you.. sorta from r31skylineclub.. i used 2 own a passage GT which i sold 12 months ago to a guy in melb and bought a 33, my old housemate also owns SVD097 aka Jono on the 31 forums :D been to a few meets up in nsw.

No - There are hardly any "major" scheduled cruises. Even our 'flagship' Great Ocean Road cruise usually gets posted approx 8-9 weeks out from the date.

The date they get run is generally decided 6-8 weeks before the actual date, and are posted in the Member area & Calendar updated... also emails are sent out :(

It's just hard to get committee members to committt to something 2 months away as anything could happen... and should something happen if there are not enough going the cruise would have to be cancelled etc.

I like to make sure we have at least 2 Committee going if not more - just makes life much easier for us overall!

There are more informal meets in the general vic events area on during the week (carwash/mini cruises/food runs) with various groups as well - so not just club stuff as such.

haha ye i've been on a few of the NSW meets when I'm up in Syd :(

    • 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.
