How could you not notice that PhatMirage was only like 3 to 4 feet taller than everyone else...........? :)

lol...yeah I did....I asked him to kneel down at one stage so I didn't feel so freakin short

Another good night and some great fun.. Even if we did end up taking the "scenic" route and lost everybody. But there was no WAY i was stopping in front of the blue boys.

Was loosing traction fair bit going up those twisties.. damn crappy tyres. Also have to love it when the exact moment you lose a bit of traction a car happens to be coming right around that same corner :-$ few scary moments. I need a GTR :)

Still want to know what happened to the sil80 driver who just kinda stopped (stuffed something?) in the other lane of the mountain? when a few other cars were coming the other way??

Yeah but the sad thing is that all those people who did not go through beechmont, only did the warm up twisties, Beechmont was the main feature of the cruise, but shit hppens, got heaps of maps ready so if we ever do it again they'll be there!

yup..wherever we *did* end up was a pretty mad route.. one lane most of the way and exciting features such as gravel and pitch blackness. Was pretty mad in itself, but had absolutely no idea where i was or where i was going, until i finally saw a sign that said "nerang 26km"

Cool well at least it was an enjoyable night for even those who got lost.

Still dissapointed about the guy who got the ticket, that just pain sucks, and it was on my cruise, oh well, you get that on these big jobs :)

I have to say i was very impressed with my maiden voyage!!

The GTR i was passenger in sure had some pull thru those twisties and a few of the straights!! (It is for sale by the way :D ) Good to meet the crew. Pity about the split group but such is life. And as for the speeding ticket...110 in a 70 pulled over by a police dog unit (dont know if they had a radar or what, kev didnt see any reading....) Maybe i should not have even invited him BUGGER!! Thats what happens if your the 1st or the last in the pack i suppose.

I look forward to the next adventure.

Haro

I emailed the pics to Chris (Nexus) and waiting for him to post them, if doesnt I'll wait till I get instructions from Adrian (strutto) on putting them up onto somewhere using his webspace, either way I'll get them up here :D

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
