awesome matt!!!

i was thinking of just using my street tyres, but i told mum to bring me up a couple stockies on her visit this weekend :), dont want to lose to much tread on my federals!

Yeah I'll bring some 17s I think and if I can make

It fit I'll bring the Trolley jack too so its easy....

What do people normally do? Load the back seat with tyres? I'm a Noob!!

Go to your local $2 shop and buy a doona/thick blanket. Put that over the back seat if you can't be bothered taking the seat out. That will protect your seat fabric. Then put a jack in, and fill the rest with wheels haha. If you're heading down with a mate (or have someone coming who will let you borrow theirs) then I'd suggest bringing one jack and sharing it

I'll be bringing a jack up, but it's kinda crap. some of the guys bring their awesome massive ones that go under the diff...

Yeah I have my neighbours one in my shed, it's one of the big workshop jacks, but if there will be others there that ppl don't mind us using it may save the hassle, we are cruising from Newcastle

So the less we carry the better :P

And yeah, I reckon covering the seat is the go, too lazy to remove it!

Yeah stockies are pretty skinny... The 17s super fugly rims might fit.... Trial and error I guess.... Anything else really needed on the day? Or just turn up and make an ass of myself?

Women! 4 in the back seat 265's, 2 in the boot and toolbox in the passengers seat.

Spend half the day changing tyres cause u kill them every 2 runs: annoying as f**k

But worth it :P I can't wait!!

Have a good breakfast, we have bbq for lunch. Also a few of the regulars go to dinner after at a local steak place, you're welcome to come along - we start eating about 6pm and finish by 8pm so you'll be getting home a bit later but it's totally your call. That goes for anyone really, any club members come along and budget $50 for food and a drink or two

Bring a hat and sunscreen if you're prone to sunburn. Other than that - just turn up and don't be afraid to ask questions if you aren't sure what to do. It's very straightforward in the morning though; get there with time to spare, find a spot for your stuff, empty the car out and put the wheels on you want to use, then join the line for scruitineering and sign on (license check etc, bring club membership card), then go back to your spot and wait for drivers brief.

EDIT: Don't forget to bring the correct clothing for driving (long sleeves and enclosed shoes etc as in the supp regs)

4th gear synchro is too-ted and it also locks out of 2nd occasionally.... That and some strange noise intermittently.... There was a lot of metal on the plug last oil change :/

Only one thing to do about it really...

Skids!

    • 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.
