OK I've had enough. This issue has been brought up across a few threads, and it doesn't seem to be going away in any sort of hurry. What sort of vehicles should be allowed to come out on SAU Qld cruises? This has nothing to do with who is on the forums at all, as it clearly states that the forums are open to all motor vehicle enthusiasts. I have nothing against the people who drive these cars, but lets face it, this is a skyline site, and what’s the point of having a “skyline” cruise when other cars outnumber the skylines?

If you turned up to a Holden commodore car club meet in a Barina, or perhaps a turbo astra jumping up and down saying “can I cruise with ya, eh, eh?” would you expect them to welcome you with open arms? I don’t think so. They would probably tell you to f*@k right off. What do the rest of you think? Where do we draw the line? And who gets to decide and enforce this?

Well, you beat me to it! Was going to post the same thread...

I think we should alow a handfull ie no more than 2-3 cars other than skylines to come along... With the following stipulations...

-The person must be an active and known member of the forums. ie no-one off the street.

-Must drive a car deemed to be up to scratch.

-Must be a person everyone is happy to have come along.

I will be happy to be the judge and jury on this issue when it arises, as I would be fair and looking at the greater interests of the group.

I think a secret PM vote should be undertaken before anyone new comes or recieves info for a meet. We have grown alot now and need to keep the same feel with our meets, read as: NO DICKHEADS. If we get too big or have even ONE wanker come along its bad news for the rest of us and we loose what we have built so far...

Agreed?

I agree 100% James...

Nissan Imports are fine in moderation IMHO... EG: Cefiros, 180SX's, Silvias, etc...

But Barinas, Commodores, Lancers etc. are NOT welcome in my mind... By all means come to the meeting spot in your Hyundai, but try and organise a ride in a Skyline rather than tagging along in your POS...

I agree other import nissans are welcome to come

But these other cars tagging along are sorta getting annoying, there are other websites for these guys to goto cruises for any make/model cars.

Heres two websites for you guys

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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.
