Hello everyone.

Just trying to let everyone know that there is a Hi- Tech car show in Rockhampton, central queensland.

We have already found a great accessable spot and a few minor sponsors

The show will be held on the 15th of May 2004. Hopefully we are giving you enough warning!

We are trying to organise a show mainly aimed at Hi-Tech modified car owners. This mainly lends itself towards owners of Imports... however we will also be open to all sorts of interesting vehicles. Including blown EFI commodores, Hi-tech and custom 4x4's and anything of special interest... like a blow through turbo'd carby L18 motor in a Hi-ace van... anything like that... If you come you will see that rocky has some crazy cars like a 4wd turbo patrol with 340hp at the bags

Entry for both Spectators and Entrants will be free. So the only cost is if you aren't a local you will have to find accomodation and get your vehicle here.

As well as the show on Saturday morning, we will be holding a Supercruise around the lovely town of Rocky on Saturday night. Hopefully we will be able to organise a large variety of cars and car owners to come on this cruise so we can make it as fun and exciting as possible.

then incase you thought all the fun was over then. We will be having another cruise to Yeppoon on Sunday morning around 11am. It will be starting from the Northside Plaza carpark and we will meet and greet before heading off to a open highway cruise of about 40 kms before we reach beautiful Yeppoon beachs. There will then be a BYO BBQ at the Bluff before everyone dissappears home after a great weekend of meeting like minded car NuTZ.

Rick and Dan are trying to organise it as much as possible so we can get all the details to everyone ASAP.

For all the out of towners this is a great chance to meet the Rocky locals and see some nices sites while cruising with a heap of cars... sounds fun don't it.

But have no fear about getting lost, etc. There will be a contact Mobile Phone No. given out at the CarShow and you can call for any information any time. If we have enough out-of-towners we will even try to organise some other activities for everyone so you can see the sites and make some new import friends.

For some more info phone DANNY CURRAN on 0416106846

Sound like fun?

So come on guys its always good to see what other parts of this state trends with cars are, some come to rocky on the 15/16th of may and see whats happening in rocky as we are keen as mustard to see whats happening in your neck of the woods!

Yeah. This motorshow is turning out really well.

It's going to be alot more relaxed than some of the other shows around.  

It will be more about friends than prizes... however there will be a few trophies to hand out as well...

Friends... friends... :kick:

    • 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.
