Well it's finally here! The scouting has been done and the pace notes written. Now it's time for all of you skyliners to show your support and break records!

This Massive Skyline Cruise (MSC) has been organised this time round to involve kiddies/wives/husbands/uncles/aunties/grandparents for a great family day out. HELL, bring the dog if you so desire.

Date: 28th November 2004

Time: 9:30am for a 10:00am departure

Location: Aspley HyperMarket Carpark. The carpark closest to the intersection of Albany Creek Road and Gayford Street/Maundrell Terrace.

Requirements: Skyline of any make/model. UHF Radio and a sense of adventure. FULL TANK OF PETROL! I can't stress this enough.

Destination: Lake Baroon. Gorgeous picturesque views of the lake and surrounding mountains. PLENTY OF PARKING. This location is up north out past Maleny/Beerwah/Woodford.

We did the scouting run around the time that we are going to set off on this cruise. There was very minimal traffic around this time of the morning. Trip is a good one and a half to two hours with stops scheduled in between for stretching the kiddies legs and toilet stops.

As mentioned, there are tables and bbq areas for those that bring their own food. There is also a canteen thing that provides fresh sandwiches, breadrolls, refreshments and icecreams. I will be phoning them to let them know of our intentions and to have extra food on hand for this particular day.

There are also lake activities at this spot. You can hire a boat/paddler/canoe and investigate the lake closer (I have information on the prices for these activities). There is a playground to keep the kiddies (or parents) entertained. If you feel the need to do some exercise, theres a bush walking track.

Once people have consumed their food and had a good break, we will be heading back east towards the Bruce Highway where people can choose to either go back to Brisbane or continue onto the Sunshine Coast for some sunday afternoon laps.

This cruise has specifically been set up for during the day so that it gives families a great day out, as well as some great photo/video opportunities.

Lets break the record of 77 skylines from the last MSC!! Let all your friends know and be there or be square. I am giving you over 6 weeks notice.

There will be no irresponsible behaviour or driving tollerated on this cruise.

Stagea's and Cefiros are invited to participate in this cruise if they wish.

It's probably worth drawing everyones attention to the recent media coverage of the EVLR34 crash in NSW... Once again, a stupid mistake by the driver of a Skyline has brought even more unwanted attention on us a community...

On Sunday, whilst we are "cruising for the kids", a HEAP of modified car owners are having a memorial cruise for those who lost their lives in the EVLR34 crash... It is a sad time, that's for sure, but I don't think we should let that stop us from having a good time...

What I will ask though, is for us ALL to be on our best behaviour on Sunday... Lets stick to the speed limits, keep the rubber on our tyres, and leave the racing for the track... We've all had our "fun" before on other "cruises", but IMO, Sunday is not the day for that sort of thing...

We will be on display as a community, so lets not make our image any worse to the general population... We're in the bad books as it is...

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
