Just a thought, why not hold it at someplace like the Laurel Hill Convention Centre, between Batlow and Tumbarumba.  Accommodation, food, and maybe drinks [not sure] if not then byo.  Showers, toilets etc and I reckon price would be low-ish.

There are other centre's around like that one, they make good bases for car/motorcycle meets etc.

Anyway January in Wagga doesn't sound too flash, +40'C days and all [good drinking weather though].

As written...........

Stay tuned wises, Kamikaze and I are trying to get something happening.

We reckon a day meet to meet everyone and then set a date, place and time for a Murray-Murrumbidgee Skyline Day.

We'll keep everyone posted here, if you know of other skyline owners, let them know. R3? whatever as long as it's a skyline.

I'll just ghost this post Tri. Let me know if you need me to encourage the locals. Pretty certain tho that you can rev em up mate.

Hey guys,

Just found this post....

Laurel Hill is a great venue (I had a relative that used to mange the place). I'm not sure of pricing but will try to find out today. Wagga will be mid 40's during January, but if we based ourselves in the mountains you can expect it would be somewhat cooler... after all, Laurel Hill is 1500 metres higher than Wagga.

I think we should all head over to Fatz track day, I'm going and think it would be great to get some country cars out there.

The Nat's weekend in Canberra is another good option, or just a cruise there at some stage. I head over there heaps to cruise and enjoy some good roads.. I'll let you ACT guys know next time I'm over there..

Narrandra drags will be hot as, but I'd still go...

So yeah, get a general consensus - but I'd have to say either Canberra for the roads, or Larel Hill for some mountain coolness :D

I'd say Canberra has less ummm.. hassels. in a blue way....

Sorry oscar, thought you knew this thread, actually thought it was you that told me about it, how wrong can a fella be.........

We were just trying to organise a meeting to get everyone together so we can plan some things like a 'Skyline Day' [that may turn into a weekend] that would be worthwhile for ppl from Canberra etc to attend. They may not come to some sh1tty little meeting [and who would blame them], but they might come to a party meeting.

I was thinking Laurel Hill cos we would all be together, we could organise food, drinks, a band/DJ, and do it all for a under say [don't really know yet] $50 a head, but this is the sort of thing we need to talk about, so first step is to have a meeting somewhere to meet and talk with Albury/Griffith/Wagga etc etc.

Stay tuned..............

Well, I'm thinking that the date for the meeting will be either 23rd January, or 6th February 2005.

It's later than we all were thinking, but..............Simmernats 6th/7th January, Fatz track day 15th/16th January, 23rd is free, then 30th will be Australia Day type weekend [26th January].

I'm thinking that the 6th Februaury might be best, gives everyone time to plan etc.

Please post if you think otherwise.

Jeez ya wanna know everything doncha.............

Don't know yet, I'll arrange something, but probably make it in Wagga, it's most central to Albury, Tumut, Griffith, Leeton, Cootamundra, Young etc

Any suggestions, we could maybe get the back room of the Shanty hotel at Alfredtown near Wagga??? {I could see Mick and ask}. If you have a better idea let me know.

Trying to avoid anyones house at this point, I feel [and I don't know why] it's probably best for now.

    • 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.
