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:

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.

    • 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.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
