fair enough...so why not just organise the event like that so that it is covered, thereby benefitting from this CAMS affiliation in 1 of the ways you set out to do?

We do all the time, we've had loads of cruises this year, and various events.

You have to be a financial member of the club to

1) attain cover,

2) be covered.

3) find out about cruises

lol, wasn't tryin to be smart, but there is always a way to get out of something like that...who said anything was "organised" thousands of cars drive around every day....

Tat excuse or "reason" wont go through a court mate. Go try it

People are stupid, nor is a judge.

when i buy a skyline, i definitely will become a financial member...

how much is it?

please read the sticky thread at the top of the section.

All the stickies should be read.

They contain valuable information.

NOTE: The links are not working withing the thread itself at present. Ill endeavour to fix that this weekend but i dont have the time cuyrrently to go searching for stuff im dont neccasarily know where to find it yet.

yeah i just read it..thanks mate...ill have to wait for the links though...

sounds like a nice package...stickers, lanyard etc...ill look into it when i get a skyline! (soon :P)

having said all that, i dont even own a skyline YET, but i'll be up for a cruise. cruises are just good fun (as long as no one ruins it with stupid behaviour that can ruin it for everyone) and it'd be a good chance to meet some of you guys and check your cars out...

the thing with stupid behaviour is, its usually burnouts etc, but what those people dont realise is, that each and every car on that cruise can do it...its a cruise, therefor, the idea is to cruise! ive been on a few cruises (ford club) and you always notice that someone wants to speed to get in front etc....the idea is to just cruise. you'll all end up at the same place anyway, and there's no point gettin there first without the rest of the cars!

Totaly agree.

Theres all ways one dickhead that ruins it for the rest. I have organised a cruise for this sunday down the great ocean road, I was thinking about possibly informing the police of it. Reason been, they would probably be at our meet points just to keep an eye out on whats going on, so the "hero's" don't do burnouts and what have you, so we don't suddenly become a pack of trouble cruising half way around Victoria's coast line. It's a leasure cruise to appreciate our own, and each others cars and to enjoy a nice drive on a good day, not a pack of wanker jetpilots screaming down to Lorne.

I decided not to inform the police due to most people will probably be scared off.

dont even bother.

they wont even bother to showup anyway.

If there happens to be another "japanese import" on the GOR and being stupid, they will automatically assume its your group and hammer you all.

Ive never informed the police in 3 years.

Having said that, they have never hassled us either really apart from years ago when we went through a defect station on a late night meet in 2002 :D

dont bother informing the cops mate....it can work against you...

they can see that as a chance to have 25+ defectable imports all together...canary anyone?

dont say "yeah but my car is legal"

from what i've been told many many times, a cop can defect a car straight out of the showroom...so he/she will have no trouble defecting a skyline.

:P All cars are ADR complient from show room, i really think ppl are just talkin shit. I don't think cops are silly enough to take on car manufacturers, on what is legal and what isn't.

i couped it in my stock r34 wing b4 i got my gt wing and the cop still gave it 2 me even no i was like ITS STOCK

yer S.E cruise would be mad open if other jap cars or any other turbos would be alright

i tend to agree with you mate...everyone always says it, but never backs it up with what can actually be defected on a brand new car...

none the less, he/she will have no problem defecting 25 skylines

lol

ye man, didnt u organise a small cruise a few months back? how did that go? many people?

i wouldnt mind going 4 a cruise along as there r a few cars!

To right mate, to right.

"I posted my cruise as a joke because every time people organise a cruise, other people bitch about fuel and time ( mean while if you read the forums, every one is asking why there aren't more) so I was casualy driving down the road and 15 - 20  skyline lines started following me, your honour".....

As RBN1 said, we own modified performance cars what are you doing owning one if your going to bitch about the price of fuel. What are you a fuc_ing idiot for buying a fuel guzzler? Well yes, only the people who can't afford them or bought one for the sake of owning a "skyline" ever winge..

Fair enough your not going to drive 300kms for no reason at a $1.25 a litre, but if theres a cruise going on then wash your pride and joy and take her out.

I fell in love with skylineline's the first day I saw one and finally I have one to call my own, with that, knowing I would mod' it I was well aware of the cost that runs with the fun.

amen to that :rant:

btw off topic of crusies but i think i may have seen u round sunbury a few times dude ( my cuzn n her b/f live there )

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
