A advertised night cruise through Nasho for a blend of modified cars at Christmas is asking for attention, thanks for the heads up, Ill keep well away from there.

Looks good!!:banana: madd way to end the year...

:laugh::rofl2: lolspec!! i checked that thread, no one sems to be goin from there and plus i heard they're doing their own shit cruise in the rain on sunday anyway

:unsure: WTF.... its a cruise, nice night out to Wollongong & a chance to see some nice cars... chilllax people!!!:spank: :spank:

Anyways, i hope to see afew people from SAU out if you can make it after the other Trackday @ Wakefield which looks awesome, spewing im working otherwise i'd be there for that too :action-smiley-069:

Did anyone go to this??

Heard it was a pretty big turn out

I actually went, took my old car, which I had to borrow off my mate :merli:

I usually don't go to these cruises, but I was bored so I gave it a go... Surprisingly, against everyone's belief and expectations every IMPORT driver was well behaved, no speeding or burnouts.

The only stupid burnout or engine revving I saw came from either Holden or Ford owners and them trying to drag everyone.. pfft.

i'm not sure about that, the R33 was doing quite a bit of revving and burnouts out of the car park, then at the right turn at the lights, I could hear it go nuts the whole way down, other than that, didn't see too much silly things, at the car park anyways.

    • 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.
