So how come nobody here ever mentions powercruise? I went last year for a look and thought it was the best modified car meet i have been to. At least it is easy to enter and have some fun!Are you guys scared of the turbo chevs or some thing? who cares! Modified is modified! I am pissed off that i missed it this year cause i am so busy with work cause i prepared my car for this event and didnt even know it was on because the website i spend every night on(here) didnt even mention it! I saw heaps of imports there last year, but i suppose they arent from this website

Because powercruise is always right after Jamboree which is a much better event. Jamboree has REAL racing rather than a commo skidfest, which, I can go down to the local hangout and see on a Thursday night if I wanted to. The quality of promo girls is mmm, ok but that's it, just ok. Then it's just a masisve line of yank tanks and cmmodores racing each other slowly around a circuit in short bursts.

Each to their own though, you might like that kind of thing. Most people here don't seem to hence the lack of mention.

Bookmark it so you won't forget next year or try http://www.streetcommodores.com.au/ as they might mention it more

It's pretty costly if you go the full 3 days and decide to get a shed and shit. I prefer the 1 day powerplay's, as it alot cheaper. This year cost us only 80 to enter and 200 for the garage, since we had 5 of us going. If you don't have a garage you don't get a pit pass, which means you have to line up out in the car park and wait to get out on the track. If you have the pit pass you can go as many times as you like, no waiting.

also the qscan r35 was there blitzing everything making tough old toranas look like they were idling along

:worship: the noise it made was just orgasmic lol

You should have heard it from in the cabin! It was a blast piloting that around the track.

Ive noticed the lack of interest on here for powercruise, but its fair enough the event isnt overly focused on imports. for example one of the main fetures of the event is the saturday night burnout comp, which is always going to be dominated by torque monster chevs and fords (although saying that two skylines did have a chop at it all be it with relativly disapointing results).

as for jambo beening a better event, i would say they both have there good and bad points, but the powercruise this year was well below the standard set in previous year. i highly doubt ill attend in 2012.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
