NS2500: Thanks for the offer, at the start of the thread, but have managed to find a lift with another SAU member. Nothing like cruising in a Skyline :D. Hope to see ya there, you wont be too hard to spot in the fairmont :D.

I too will be taking my UHF radio.

What time are you guys going to be leaving Apollo Bay?? I have to work until 13:00pm on Saturday so I might make my way down and join up with you guys somewhere.

Is there any planned stop offs on your way home?

There are no 'planned' meet points back from the GOR as such.

being a long day most people i think will just need to stop for fuel.

but we probably wont leave Apollo Bay till 3-4pm. That's my guess anyhow.

Once we eat, chat/photo etc etc.

We are not coming home Via the GOR for the most part.

We are taking a few back roads.

PM me for more details as its something i wanna keep off the forums until the day for a number of reasons.

Being from Geelong you should know the route.

cheers

ash

You big bunch of radio nerds!!!!

Well if that's the case i may pinch the display uhf from work just for the weekend!

Rob, bullshit man, you have to come along, at this stage i have my missus my boy and a family friend coming along, you need to run shot gun, good luck fitting in the back of any car! so what's the deal? do you have commitments or do you want to come???

Justin, Mega Mart is on the right coming from moorabbin after the monash freeway underpass.

Greg, we will drop you off in the tunnel and do laps for photos and to get our moneys worth out of the citylink day pass!!!! bwahahahah

dry weather is good for slicks!!

Al are you going to provide name tags for this cruise?? are you still embarrased for realising you had them in the work van after the elwood cruise?? :D:D:D Bwahahahaha

oh and i love a good :D :D :(:):rant: excellent smiley that!

hey r31nismoid...stupid question!!...the mobil that evryone is meeting at on the ring road... is that the same one you all meet at last time...near subway...thanks

I dunno about subway, but it's the Mobil with the Macca's in the same thing.

It's not far from the Fitzgerald Rd exit city bound of course

yeah it's just a maccas... it's a big truck stop too... it's between the fitzgerald rd exit and the boundary rd exit going city bound...

CNBLOW: NO. You are thinking of the Shell servo on the Princess Hwy. The Westies meeting point is at the Mobile servo on the Western Ring Road heading towards the city. Once everyone is there, we will take the Princess Hwy exit and head towards Geelong, meeting the others at BP.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
