P.S oh yer and DAMN my gearbox bearings are nasty .. Sposed to be fixed this weekend but not tonight :(

******UPDATE********

Seeing as the owner of this thread has disappeared I'm gonna make the plans coz I'm so keen for a cruise tonight.

I think we should cut the wisemens loop out of it as I don't think we have a big turn out, so we want to pick up the Windsor people ASAP...if anyone fees like it we can do it on the way back.

here are the details

So we are still meeting at 10PM at THORNLEIGH MACCAS for a 10:30 DEPARTURE

We will have another meeting point at MCGRATHS HILL MACCAS at 11:15 which is near Winford Motors on Windsor Rd.

The on to Katoomba! Bizza will lead the way, but no doubt I'll have to take over coz he's too slow ...RB20...pfft!

If anyone has any questions please feel free to give me a call on my mobile which is 0423 793 747.

sif over take me :Pwe shall see about that .

hope we actually see some of u woosys tonight

just past bilpin is a stretch of road that takes the Sky to the liner but i dont think its a good idea to go tonight as we might dirty our cars :) check it out

Oh the corners ! :kick:

I take it you guys are turning off 'Bells Line Of Rd' at 'Darling Caus Rd' which then joins up at Mt Victoria (...and head back to Sydney thru Katoomba via the Great Western Highway) ?

Thornleigh -> Richmond = 41km

Richmond -> Mt Victoria = 72km

Mt Victoria -> Penrith = 65km

That's a solid 3+ hr cruise from/to Thornleigh just so you know. Don't expect to be back to Thornleigh until atleast 3am.

ya thats the route we shall be taking .. its a great drive but :) ... Think about me and the Newport cruise i had to go heaps far. Spend more time driving to get to meetups n stuff then we did actually cruising :)

So wat else is there to do besides that :D .. Unless changing meetup time , i dont think things will change soon ..

just working with what we've been given by the original organiser.

no point in having a 20mins cruise I say!

the sleep was pretty shite actually.  Did u run into the group of cars that were in front of us from winsor?  Hey liz, those cars were at thornleigh, i think they might have been with the guy who made the post.

yeah we ran into them at windsor and again at blackheath. But they didn't stop with us. Besides when we were at thornleigh they left without us and without saying anything to us.

but yeah the cruise was a good run....I was so freakin tired by the time we got back.

Was a good run. With some better front suspension and new tyres it'd be a great drive.

I have nfi what it was that I hit (it has no idea what it was hit by either, I smacked it) but their is zero damage so that's the main thing.

    • 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.
