Hello everyone,

As I mentioned at the end of my last cruise, my next event was going to be north of sydney, and in an attempt to make it so that the Newcastle/Gosford area could join in, I have elected to start the cruise in Swansea, and end it in Brooklyn.

Overview:

10:30 am start at Bent street Swansea, using the various coast roads to go through the Entrance, and Woy Woy, we will make our way to Brooklyn in the most direct but interesting way possible. ( Old Pacific Freeway towards the end ;-) ).

We will be stopping just after Woy Woy for photo's in a car park on the lakeside, ( see map ).

We should arrive at Brooklyn near the marina club for lunch and the end of our cruise in 2-4 hours approx, depending on traffic/photo stop/fuel stops.

I did a variant of the cruise way back in the day on my P's. I will be doing a pre-run probably mid september to make sure, but if memory serves there shouldnt be any problems what so ever. anyone keen for the Pre-cruise please let me know, I would love to have a few other people who know the plan/want to take photo's involved in the hosting process to make this go as smoothly as possible.

For sydney siders, we are finishing right near the mooney mooney ramp, so its all easy as pie to get home.

For those of us further south, I am staying in a hotel nearby so as to enjoy my morning and be in a position to arrive at the meeting point early.

I know I said the end of september, but work knocked me back since everyone seems to have holidays during that time. Fingers crossed it should be a nice, clean sunny day like the last one.

As per usual, we will be conducting ourselves in proper SAU fashion, And I hope to see a lot of you there. Any questions feel free to PM me or smash them out below.

P.S. Terry has asked his N1 if it would be possible to run the forefront of this cruise. N1 said it depends on how his tuning session goes. THEREFORE, and not that i dont appreciate Terry and N1, I am still open for anyone else running a GTR who would love to run the pack if Terry's unable to do it.

Thanks again everyone :)

Tis wise Josh that you have a Plan B. Even the best laid out plans can run amok when there isn't some sort of backup (as we realised a couple of weekends ago). Your planning appears immaculate as always!

I am a definite for this...have even had the crucial approval from wifey. Will think on whether or not I drive up the night before, will depend on whether or not I am bringing my son as well.

I will be staying at the ibis hotel up at wallsend, a decent 30 minutes from the starting point.

As for the scout run, this wednesday i will be leaving my place at about 6-7 am, and takes me about 1hr 45 minutes to get to the M2 turnoff for newcastle.

Anyone keen to come please pm me so we can arrange a meet up.

Just quickly flicking through, maybe 5 including me? Hopefully bob comes along.

Its still early days yet, 4 weeks till the weekend. I book things pretty far in advance lol,

I am aware that world time attack is on that weekend as well, so we will see. But its just a fun drive on a sunday socialising.

I will be making an event and posting it on FB, to try and draw attention to it.

My last event had around 15 cars turn up, so who knows.

Will be an awesome day!!

Would be great to have you guys come along !!

Unfortunatly i might have to chuck pie in the sky on to next year, i wasnt %100 sure what good cruise stops where around the coast so thats why i went with the brooklyn stop. Add on top of that i dont have an exact number on cars, and the route and stops i have picked out can accomadate a decent amount of cars just in case we get a big turn up. I was originally going to have us finish up at berowra, but i couldnt find somewhere decent, and brooklyn is at least on the water

I would have been keen if i had time to do another pre-run for a change but with midnight club this weekend i just dont have a chance heh.

Definitly will keep it in mind for next year so thanks for the heads up.

I would also like to announce that jason is coming, so if he brings his camera there will be some awesome shots at the end of the day.

Keep hoping the weather holds out.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
