Getting up a mountain is no problem. Comes up Henry Robert in second 4/5 grand never misses a beat. It is the low speed crusing that stuffs things. Not always but sometimes just get a bit of boost and it dies in the arse.

I have a leak somewhere in and about the AAC. And remember I have a Greddy FFP. Its a sod to get at.

I can drive the RS4 but might have to bring the 25G.

check the 20 cent sized disk on the side of the aac for leakage

mine was leaking under about 5psi (charged up from a compressor)

couldn't get it undone (has 3 holes on the surface of the disk, 1 centre hole and 2 either side) so i just put a bit of epoxy around it to seal it up

Miht be riding along with Myles :) Not a deffinate yet though

Not sure how many people are coming but have made a booking fo 30 people for lunch at surf club.

If we have too many there is a pub across the road and a park, so will work it out on the day when we get there.

Mattye - I have spare navigators seat if you want or anyone else

Thanks for making the booking Darrin. 30 sounds like a good number. It'd be great if that many turn out for the cruise.

Looks like I won't be driving down this time. But if this job interview goes well I might just be moving down to Brisvegas soon, then I will definately be at the next one.

Can someone take a heap of photos of the day and load them up somewhere (or send a link) so I don't completely miss the action?

Cheers and have an awesome cruise on Sunday.

Good luck with the interview. I hope you get the job. I can already tell you're the best candidate ;)

My son will most likely be going crazy with the camera on Sunday. But they will all be of cars, and probably arty farty closeups & weird angles of badges or exhausts or whatever.

I'll try and wrestle the cam away for some group shots of people having fun to make everyone wish they were there. Having met nearly no one in person yet, they might all be reluctant to pose for some idiot with a camera, but I'll see what I can do.

How about a reply from all who are going to give a more accurate idea of numbers?

Because i'm 40 minutes north of Bribie, i'll meet up there.Looking forward to more M35s, but really it doesnt matter which models as

long as they are "stags'.

graham.

p.s darrin,do you still expect around 12. to arrive there?

urzulus - i just noticed you live at springfield lakes, just out of curiosity do you live near janus grove? my sister in law lives in janus grove and ive always wondered if the stag near her was on here.

I really dont know, i live in springfield lakes........

Date : Sunday the 28th November

Time : Meet 9.00am, leave 9.15am sharp

Start : Springwood Shopping centre. Mc'Donalds's carpark on the eastern side off highway. Opposite A-mart (old Ikea building)

Finish : Surf club Bribie Island approx 12.00-12.30 for lunch and optional swim (kids)

Pitstop and pickup at Nudgee Shell on gateway at approx 9.45 and leave 10.00am

Route : Up gateway over bridge. Stop/pickup point at Nudgee Shell. Travel north to Kallangur, west thru Dayboro, Over MT Mee

Down thru Caboolture, and east across Bribie Island to surf club or pub for lunch

Distance approx 160km's, so fuel up before.

Hope it was a good day for some of you. My day ended up costing me $200 & three points. I would have liked to have made it to Bribie but had a prior engagement this afternoon on the Southside.

Thanks to Darrin for organising this cruise for us Stagea owners. Glad to get one last drive in with you all before moving to the ACT next year.

If I don't run into any of you before I head south, have a safe Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
