hey guys just wanted to say hello and myabe give you a few pointers for next time round, with myself allready organised a few of these cruises before for all the siliva boys over at silviansw.com

first off, do a dawn run, make the meet up for say 3am etc. or some stupid time. for a few reasons, especially that there is no civillian traffic on the road AT ALL at this time - every time ive been there hasnt been 1 car on the old pac before.

the route we take is like old pac from berowra > wisemans run > galston gorge hillclimb > back to thornleigh maccas for breakfast. you can also reverse this route, and start with a downhill gorge run [scary] and end up with the old pac, but not advised due to traffic on the old pac. if you decide to go on a sunday morning, make sure you make it at least 3am start because around 8-10am ther are cyclists everywhere on the gorge and they ruin the run!

also, i think cops browse these forums they might of been ready for you. pm invites to select people you know only and want to come. people who you trust driving with. make the group size max 10 cars. any more than this and its a spell for disaster.

the most fun ive had is with about 5 cars only, going at it full on for the whole thing. it really takes alot out of you, make sure you all get sleep! all up round trip is about 5hrs of solid driving, meeting, stopping for a piss, etc.

it is the best feeling, nothing but you and your car driving along, hearing the BOV venting against the rockfaces with are 1/2 a meter from your car, and the wisemans run, seeing the sun rise over the mountains and shining on the water. ahh sooo peaceful... heh i better stop now!

so yer a few things to keep in mind, to have a fun, safe, bacon free night.

-mark

The last SAU cruise I went on (aside from this one) through the Nasho was relatively bacon free. That wasn't too bad a run, although I did hit a lot of traffic in the Park.

But doing a run on a Friday night right before a long weekend on Sydney's most infamous stretch of windy road is asking for trouble.

But, like Mark, I do prefer runs with a smaller number than your average SAU turnout. You can't move as quickly when there are that many cars, and it attracts a lot of attention.

i never knew ford has 300kw at the wheels for stock :)

:thumbsup: me neither!!!

aww come on guys.. you're being too critical!! i thought the cruise was great!!! we all made it to wisemans, and we all had a good run... even with the cops on our tail! I think most people wanted to stick to the speed limit being double dermerit weekend and all1! so as far as most peeps are concerned, it was just the cruise we wanted!!

hahaha.. nice one al... traffic in the nasho? thats cause you were tooooo slow! :) and you went the wrong way to start with! :) :elaugh:

blistc... i think our cruises are more for everyone on the forums to meet everyone else... not for a select few to stick together and do runs... don't get me wrong.. that happens as well1!! its just the more publicised forum ones are always with everyone and anyone... its each man for himself once out there, and everyone knows it :)

pft!!!!!!!! i've taken you on launch before!!!! and all you EVER see is my ASSSS!

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
