I have a copy of the letter from Ian Ward - President of the Nobbys Beach Surf Life Saving Club. It says there is a possibility that there will be something because there's been a text message going around newcastle, police are warning people to stay away.

whether they've got the resources or not... are you really going to want to try and run a cruise through the middle of a stand off between 2 different sides of comething like this and the police?

i say play it safe and head somewhere like bar beach whould be a good thought.

i would aggree and stay away from nobbys.....but don't cancel the cruise because of it...bar beach should be ok....or even if the cruise ended up back at speers point park, us newy people could meet up with you guys there

Hey all...

Looks like I won't be driving on this cruise; hitching a ride with Miss Turbo on the day. This could turn out good as I'll be doing a lot of filmin'

Who else is going from Sydney who has no passenger? Could be good to float from one car to another :)

(weapn @ 14 Dec 2005, 07:33 AM)I just got a SMS sent to me.

"Meeting at Newcastle beach & CBD next week for a wog bashing. Bring your Grog,

bring your Pole to crack some Skull Next Sunday"

Anyone you pass in the street that looks like a wog take no remorse and smash them.

Anyone wearing a gold chain and driving in their full sick cars Smash them and their

cars"

This is the post that was of greatest concern to me. I am always up for some fun but I do not consider placing myself and fellow buddies in the firing line fun.

Jeff, this is your cruise, I will be there if it goes ahead - you know that. Just make a decision and I'm sure we'll follow without dramas.

I think the messgae is bullshit

I can't find that post in this thread but isn't the owner of Weapon a wog too?

David something? - just from the write-up you had in HPI man, i don't give a sh*t what race you are always loved the car (remember the days i lived in newy when it was the maroon colour :) ) but it seems strange / stupid someone would send you a message telling you to bash wogs... is this a friend of urs warning you that sent it?

Cheers,

Dave.

Sorry to hear that Jeff! Especially after all the effort you have put into this!!!!

Its probably not the best time to go to Newcastle! Lets hope it all goes away and we can go on this cruise soon...

I'm thinking i might go up putty rd on sunday instead... its away from any beaches where all the trouble seems to be...

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
