Thanks everyone on the cruise for making it a great day out & for being so welcoming. Thanks again Darren for doing the organising.

It was nice enough weather and some great roads were chosen for the cruise.

The sound of all the cars accelerating away from, well pretty much everywhere possible, was awesome.

If a few more M35 owners could make it next time then the couple of us who turned up wouldn't be so outnumbered :(

Cheers, Leon.

Hope it was a good day for some of you. My day ended up costing me $200 & three points.

Bugger! That's bad luck. I don't think anyone else got a ticket. Well not getting to Bribie at least. Who knows about the way home...

Sorry I did not get there. My Stag is going great, but then it gets its knickers in a knot and is honestly not safe to drive. It is so frustrating.

If our latest tweaks dont work, it is off to Brissie for a big work over and fix.

Awesome cruise everyone, I was a passenger in a mates Stagea taking video of the day.

Got some good shots in but I would like more, so I need your help. The reason is I'm going to make a short film of the day, maybe about 5mins long depending on how much feedback there is. So if there was anyone that was taking pictures or video could you please PM me and I'll give you my email and you can send them through. ATM Ive got about 6mins of video from my camera and im hoping to blend them in with some photos. Wont be anything to fancy as I'll be using Windows Live Movie Maker...

SO please send them thru...

Hi Keir.

Yeah, it was a great day. I was looking forward to seeing you there with your M35 but you can't do much about a faulty starter motor. So next time then.....

Hi Matt, my son took some pics & video on my phone but you'd be better off seeing who else can contribute 'cause the quality won't be up to the standard you would want. However, if you really get stuck for content, let me know & I'll send what I've got.

Cheers, Leon.

Can't seem to embed videos from youtube, maybe someone else could do it? Anyways heres a sample....

Hey Leon, your pictures and videos would be much appreciated. Cheers...

A big thanks to Darrin for a well organised event! It was a great drive, and the surf club was very good (Chicken parmy FTW!)... Spent close to 2 hours at Carindale on the way back when GreenGhost(Myles)'s trans cooler line got severed, and we had no tools (!!), so had to do the whole roadside-mechanic-bunnings-run-for-sockets,-pliers,-cutters-etc-thing.... All fixed in the end, but it had its moments, and my car is still covered in his ATF... :)

As far as the Bribie Island end of the main cruise was concerned:

12(?) Stageas+3 empty lanes+2 red lights+1 mindset+2 synchronised launches = Simply awesome.

Thanks to all for a great day!

It would have been like watching the 3 stooge's on the side of the road fixing Myles (drives like a girl and gets lost) car.

Those couple of launches at the lights is pretty much the end to my clutch

My car still smells like a burnt mexican burrito inside.

Don't post vid's of any crazy Bribie Island retired volvo drivers

Stagea drivers promote safe driving :rofl2:

Good day out, shame so many had to miss it.

Who votes a return trip over the mountain from the other side??

I'll be up for that, turned out one of the intercooler pipes has collapsed? I have no F@#kn idea how this can happen while driving but 3hrs on the side of the highway in pouring rain and I was ready to torch the thing grrrrrr fixed now :action-smiley-069:

Who votes a return trip over the mountain from the other side??

I'd be up for that, may even bring the taxi up as well!

Big thanks to Darrin & great to meet you all!

Would it be ok to use these pictures in my video of the cruise?

Yeh man...All good... As long as I get my name in the credits :ph34r: Hehehe

Only thing would be as long as everyone else is happy to have their number plates in the pics.

Maybe just blur the plates.

Hey It's Jacob, (commsmans son) I went on the cruise and enjoyed it (i didn't doubt that i would) and was wondering if the guys that went could give me the specs of there stags and what mods they have done to them.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
