Three cheers to the Sam and whoever helped him.

no worries, will. should be a great day. Duc, helped with the route & Darren helped with the 'southern meet group' and some further roads. also you organised the food afterwards. :)

yes i did. no one is perfect, at night it was fine. during the day with a different car as a cruiser + the speed i was going didnt help. does that mean you aint come?  :) 

your gtr still in rwd mode?

Just giving you $h1+ Duc. :)

No offense intended. Sure I'll be there. Yeah the GTR is still in rwd. Tried to get the auto electrician who worked on it before out this week but he's on holidays. Have been trying to get the white GTR ready for sale - it failed its first trip to Regency.

For those who didnt make it, here is a rundown of the cruise.

The 2 groups met up at Ingle farm and headed off. The roads were a bit wet so the pace was quite moderate. On the way down the George we passed a Cop Bike, who promptly did a U turn and sat in behind the 2nd car. He followed us all the way through to Loberthal (How many other clubs get a police escort) at 60 km/hr

When we got out he mentioned he heard some wheel spin and that a cars wheels had crossed a double white line. He let us go without any problems (no "let me see under the bonnet" etc) I guess a group of imports going down the George is usually an indication someone will be speeding or doing something silly, so I guess I cant blame him for following us. It ended up beeing a waste of his time.

After the regroup we headed off to Mt Lofty Summit for a chat. The weater started to turn bad and people went on their own way from there.

It was good to put faces to the names on here. See you on the next cruise, hopefully the weather is a bit better and the roads more challenging.

Yeah the weather turned a bit dismal in the end, I was hoping it would have been nice and sunny like the rest of the week. I only got about 12 Pictures compare to about 50 I got on the last cruise.

The police escort was a bit rare, wonder if he enjoyed the cruise? He didn’t seem too concerned though, just checked our licences and that was about it.

Other than that it was good to catch up with everyone and meet some new people.

Looking forward to the next cruise, hopefully with better weather. Ill post pics sometime during the week.

Cheers,

Sam

My sincerest apologies for not making it out. I didn't get my car back in time (getting alarm installed by Alan at Powerplay Autosound & Security).

I was feeling a bit seedy after the engagement party last night as well :(

I'll try and make it out to the next cruise, it'd be good to meet up with some fellow Skyline enthusiasts!

Cheers,

Alan

yeh pitty about the weather and that man in Leathers, but all is good, finnaly got to put some faces and cars with names, nice to meet you all. Summers comeing boys and girls, might have to run that Victor cruise you boys were talking about.

Ghosty, yeh i'll take it, but will have to next weekend, if that is all good! If it goes by then.......thats cool i'll take the next one, cheers fella.

Darren

My apologies also; just had way too many things to do around the house before I have my 7th right-knee surgery this wednesday.

Apologies to you all, would have loved to show of my silky white pearl Stagea RB25det wagon, but hopefully I will be right to drive again in 6weeks time (I hope!!, see how this knee pulls up).

    • 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.
