ive got a GTR if you want i can lead if thats what you were looking for?

ive also got a few mates that are probably going to come along aswell, s14, s15, and an evo 8

If you can make yourself 100% familier with the route by next sunday man and shoot me a few pms then sure!!

Would love to have you out the front. Also glad to hear your bringing others along, should be a great day!!

And maybe next time terry? Hope everything goes smoothly for you mate.

well im from the central coast. grew up here and know the area like ......... :) you will be driving straight passed my house so im familiar with the route :)

Id be stoked if you ran the front mate. Stoked.

All green lights tomorrow guys, weather cleared up beautifully!!

I should be at the start location inbetween 9-9:15, so dont stress if im not there at 9 heh!!

My mobile number is 0498 982 084 if you get stuck, try to text me first incase im already on the phone.

Hope to see a lot of you there!!

We are starting the cruise and leaving at 10:30, so id prefer it if everyone was there before then haha. My mobiles there if anyone gets stuck for time.

And just a personal rule of mine, if you host a cruise your the first one there heh

See everyone soon!!

Just want to clarify that ungala road/bent st is the starting street near blacksmith :), depending on which map service you use.

Great day out today!! Big thanks to everyone who came.

Photo's i grabbed will be up soon.

A little disjointed towards the end, but im sure overall everyone enjoyed the sun and the drive, even on a sunday through terrigal haha.

Thats it for me hosting this year, next cruise will be febuary/march and will be either the putty road, or a twisty coast cruise.

Expect repeats of the same events next year, probably with adjusted dates to avoid WTAC haha.

Big thanks again to Kane for running out the front for most of the cruise.

If i dont see anyone before hand, have a happy christmas and new years!

    • 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.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
