The long awaited Massive Skyline Cruise has come upon us once again (albeit quicker than I thought!)

In line with last years efforts, we will be collecting money for the Royal Childrens Hospital Christmas Appeal. ALL money raised will be given to the hospital on the 2nd December 2005.

Now, the important information. The MSC will head towards Somerset Dam with a starting point of Aspley Hypermarket. From the Aspley Hypermarket, we will head out towards dayboro/kilcoy (same direction as last years MSC) and then heaf off from there towards the dam. The cruise this time will consist of about a 1 hour drive. There will be very limited stops but we have/will take into consideration families attending this cruise.

Once we get to the dam, we will fire up some bbq's and have a nice friendly bbq outing at the dam. If possible, I might try and get a few group shots of the cars all lined up along the dam wall. Your most welcome to bring some equipment for cricket/football or any other activities that can be played in an open area.

DATE: Sunday, 27th November 2005

DEPARTURE: 10am

LOCATION: Aspley Hypermarket

Last year we had 83 Skylines, 1 Stagea and 2 Cefiros totally 86 cars. This year I would like to see the 100 mark reached! That will then put us infront again as the biggest skyline event held in Australia. NSW pipped us at the post with their last Show and Shine with a massive 98 cars in attendance.

This is the 4th Massive Skyline Cruise that has been run and is a great day out for enthuisiasts and familes alike. All Skylines, Cefiros, Stageas and Laurels are invited to attend this cruise.

If you have any questions, please contact me through this thread or PM. Itineries will be posted after next weekend. I will also print a few out for people on the day.

SEE YOU ALL THERE! Lets get all your Skyline/Cefiro/Stagea/Laurel friends together and make this Massive Skyline Cruise the best one yet!

Please help the kids and donate genorously. Last year we donated $1000, this year I have a target of $1500. You never know when you may need the hospital. You may just save a childs life.

(Note: I am aware there is Chictorque cruise on this weekend, but the MSC has always been tentatively booked in for this day to co-incide with the Royal Childrens Hospital Christmas Appeal. Having just received my information pack from the hospital, I am now advertising this cruise.)

I've just posted it on QSC.

Depending on how we approach the Sausage sizzle, I might need a few cars to pack stuff into. I'll work this out in the next few days.

Please don't get upset if I don't respond straight away, I've been really busy at work..

I'll be there again Erin. I thoroughly enjoyed last years. I love a WELL organised cruise and what better way to do it then to help out the kids.

Well done on last years efforts Erin and hopefully we can get the 100 target this time. If you need any assistance in your event tasks don't hesitate to PM me. I would be glad to help out as I'm sure all of us here would be.

Chris: That would be great.

I just have to ask Dirk if we'll have enough money in the club to fund a sausage sizzle. If this does go ahead, I'll need some help carting the food/drinks out to the dam.. plus we might need tables and the like. I'll let everyone know once I've spoken to Dirk.

Love to met everyone at one event :D

Count another GTR being there

If anyone else is coming from the Sunshine Coast PM and we can head down together and Erin if you need anything organise from up here PM me

Sounds like it should be a great day

Hope there's lots of fun sensible fun (god I'm getting old) and $ for the kids.

    • @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.
