Due to the success cruise we had at the Wiseman Ferry, this is going to be the start of 2011 year cruise. We decided to have this activity at Cordeaux dam which could easy fit 200+ cars and a great cruise location for meets and eat. It's a nice area for photoshoots and deciding to have BBQ there.

Any members have suggestions or ideas about this cruise please feel free to have your say here, your ideas would be very much appreciated. I'll leave the premeets up to you guys to suggest.

If you have CB radio please bring it on the day for better communications. Channels will be noticed on the day.

- Try to be at your best behaviour on the roads guys, last thing we hate to see is getting pulled over. (optional)

Notes:

-Car ride height recommended above iphone height

-BBQ so obviously $ (optional)

-Insect repellant (Recommended/optional)

-Please fill tank before meet

-bottle drinks in car

-CB Radio , to some people dont know what CB is, Walkie Talkie. very convenient

that is all.

Thanks members.

(ps. Wiseman Ferry Cruise photos will be finish soon please be patience till its completed) also thanks to the members who contributed photos.)

It's actually in a nice setting. :yes:

The approach is off Picton Rd (connecting Picton/Wilton to Wollongong) with a bit of a canyon feel to it near the dam wall (as I recall).

I organised an observation cruise to the Cordeaux would you believe 44 yrs ago! Haha.... I was only 17 then (& treasurer of a tennis organisation based at White City).

I just want to say jizzles isn't a cop and the last cruise he organised on ns.com was a big success, he even had maps printed off so people would know where to go. No cop trouble at all and everyone was well behaved.

I highly recommend anyone that can make it to come along

cheers Jonny

(BTW jizzles its SDEWYZ of ns.com)

Can we get some Google Maps happening? Not sure where the first location is.

Also, try and work on figuring out some times; eg. meet at meeting location at x, leave at y on the dot, get to dam at z.

That way if I feel lazy I can just meet you guys there :P

edit:

i assume this is the meet? that carpark?

.....as for the destination... i'm ashamed to admit, but my google maps power has failed me :(

sorry thats not the road. the map is not updated. if you follow onto forshore road (left) there is a dry land dotted, which is now a boat ramp that cannot be missed! their is intersection lights and you will definitely see it.

    • 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?
