Well, I intend to cruise. No speeding, just cruise and enjoy the weekend. Just as long as you stay away from the hot spots, you should be ok. I will take the back roads and enjoy the drive.

I'd be in for a cruise down the new road in the new year- especially if it ends up near the Imperial Hotel (at Clifton I think) - reasonable pub grub and amazing views out over the ocean.

Sounds good. I have a nice route thought out already from say, Homebush all the way down to Towradgi Beach via Lawrence Hargrave Drive. Could make the Imperial a lunch stop over on the way.

I went down there earlier today, every man and his dog was there checking it out, we were going about 30km/h from stanwell park through to bulli. There was about 6 or 7 Ferrari's stopped down at stanwell park too.

Imperial hotel is just a borded up old building since the road was closed and the scarbrough pub has had the publican kicked out since the new road opened.

But as for the road drove it the other night for the first time and yeah its cool at least they kept the windy bitts when they built the bridge.

Oh and on another bad note A friend who works for the RTA and was on the constrution side of things was saying thet they are already haveing problems with concrete starting to crack and fail LOL!!!!!!

Cheers

Very sad to hear- many long afternoons were spent with beers and good friends looking over the water at the Imperial.

Kel (and Duncan if your reading this),

Id like to set a date for the cruise pretty soon so everybody has a chance to set work dates e.t.c.

What are the chances of having the BBQ at the end point of the cruise?

My BBQ is set into the house, so theres no moving it :D

Im happy to provide some meats, i havnt been shopping lately but $80 should cover a heap of assorted meats for the cruisers? i know it will be more precise when we have definate numbers

Is it best to charge people (at cost?) or provide food for free if SAU NSW member

A lot of people are dissapointed about the newcastle cruise not happening, so this might be compensation for them

This will be the first SAU cruise ive orgsanised and every bit of help is appreciated :blink:

Sounds like a plan & thanks for volunteering to get it organised :)

The club has a barbie which we can bring along.

People usually seem happy to chuck in a couple of dollars for a feed - just need to make sure we get a good idea of who will be coming so we bring enough food.

We can actually run this as a CAMs covered club event with insurances etc. This will mean though that you'll need to be a member to attend (like Putty Rd cruise).

Might be good to plan for mid-late Jan or Feb?

If you sweet talk Duncan he could put the barbie in the back of the ute and bring it along - I'm pretty sure it's not skyline boot sized.

My guess would be $5 max is all you'd need to charge for lunch and should work out cheaper than if you bought your own stuff along?

Fear not the barbie was skylne boot tested before purchase :rofl:

So I can come along and actually keep up this time ;)

Or if you dont end up keeping up theres always "but the BBQ weighs heaps!!!" :D

Im thinking the 5th Feb (A Sunday)

Start Homebush P6 (just to make it easy)

Cruise down king georges road until sutherland, turn towards the gong, stop for a quick regroup at the turnoff to national park, go through national park then over the sea cliff bridge, then i found a nice carpark about 5 mins down the road from the bridge (theres not enough parking at the bridge, too many camrys and alike)

Meet at 10am for a 1030am roll out, we would arrive no later than 1pm, lunch on, then whatever - swim, eat, talk, and finally go home!

How does this sound?

    • 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.  
    • 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.
