Alright guys and girls, been thinking more about our discussions on this thread, and I propose a new date either the first or second weekend of April... The third weekend of April is Easter weekend, which brings with it an extra two days off (YAY! :geek: ), but also double the fines and double demerit points. And even though the Stageas usually fly under the radar as far as police attention is concerned, having a whole group of us cruising and hanging out together might bring some unwelcomed attention (Awww :( ). If worst comes to worst, we can do this the weekend after Easter. It's a bit further away, but gives us more time to sort this out.

I figured setting up a meet this late in the month is a bit too short notice, and I've been busy (and will continue to be busy) with relo's from o/seas as well until the end of March/beginning of April.

So, let me ask you all a few questions:

1. Which weekend would you all prefer?

2: Is Sydney or Newcastle prefered, or somewhere in between (and if that's the case, where?)? I do spend a bit of time on occasion around The Entrance, Lake Munmorah and Lake Macquarie, but I'm no expert.

3. Do we have an all-in cruise once we're at our combined meeting point, or just sit down somewhere and chill out, maybe have a BBQ or whatever? Personally, I'd prefer to just have two or three separate groups (one from Sydney metro, one from Newcastle and surrounds, etc) cruise up together, and then each group just heads to one central point and we can meet and greet there.

Remember to allow room for parking of roughly 10 Stageas, using the rough list I created in the other thread. Please suggest a decent area where we can park fairly close together and won't either give or receive any unwanted fuss...

So peoples, please let me know what you all think, and I will add all the preferred options to this first thread in point form.

Cheers,

Nick

yea definately the weekend after easter i think (22/23)

bit too hectic on the roads for me if you want it easter weekend

don't know if i'll bring my rugrats though

they go a little crazy when we go on a cruise

bbq sounds good around newie somewhere

let us know how it goe's with dates and times.

Updated, thanks all.

Can anyone suggest an area we can head to? Like I mentioned, even though I do come up to the Central Coast once in a while, I'm not too familiar with where we can gather.

I do know that there are a few spots in and around Gwandalan and Summerland Point which should suit our requirements, and if that sounds good to all of you then I at least know I won't need a map to get us there without a hassle...

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
