Yeah it was great to meet everyone and check out some cars as well.

The weather sure turned it on for us that's for sure.

Was even a few nice cars to have a look at down at wakefield park too thanks to a lotus club.

All in all, a great day. Pleasure to put some faces to some names.

Cant wait for the next one.

DItto everything said above - yes it was a great day. and......

My face is burnt, saw 2 police cars the whole journey (booking other people :thumbsup: )

Enjoyed Kat's gaaaate and the GTR's looking good.

Lost Anfanee when he went of to see a puupy in Goulbourn. Titan bought his EMO along for the cruise

Saw one EVO die on the track @ wakie and the Lotus' looked great. Especially the Matte Black one. Mini Cooper S was hauling ass, as was the torana :)

What a great bunch of people and nice skylines :D

Cheers :action-smiley-069:

Ps. Thanks for making the effort. Catch you in a few months, perhaps a midway coastie ??

Oh and I have no pics sorry - to busy chattin

Ok here's a link, nothing special though mostly just on my phone... May have a slight bias towards white R32 GTRs.... :D

A BIG THANKYOU to Luke & Kat for co-ordinating at each end for a terrific day!

We had a blast! Great to get out & meet new people, enjoy brilliant weather (dunno wtf happened - Goulburn is usually cold & rainy) & head over to the track! LOVED the MGBV8!!!!

Hope there is more in the future, & all my family can get along next time.

Maybe catch up again for Texi on the 30th.....................

great day thanks for coming out! Kat - Your car is a beast lovely to see it finally.

Hope my car didn't smoke you guys out too much when you where behind the GTR POWAH!

we should do it again sometime!

Hope my car didn't smoke you guys out too much when you where behind the GTR POWAH!

Yeah you went passed me with a wee puff of weed. :P

You get the Puppy? Show pics of the puppy. :yes:

Some nice pics there kat. Was great to hear that beast of yours open up, even if it was only for a split second.

And as far as being biased to white 32s.... i suppose i can forgive you lol.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
