ok... refer to this post for info on what im talking about.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=10368

Ok so far its all good with Leewah and Ula... ylwgtr aka troy u in for it? and also someone with a GTS-R to represent the old skoolers :P

will plan out a few spots tonight to take the pics from, preferably places with Victorian landmarks so any suggestions are welcome.

so far nothing inc dates, is confirmed. But looking at either next saturday evening (same day as dyno day but after it) or the weekend after.

some location ideas -

-st. kilda pier (only one thing if we make this too large ie. ppl coming it will attract too much unwanted attention)

-southbank

-casino

i want something that when u see it ppl have absolutely no doubt that its melb/vic. also has to have a little light ( cause i dont like using the flash, prefer to leave the shutter open and soak in all the colour and light)

thats what i was trying to think of... i was also going to call the melbourne city council and get permission to get the cars on sthbank or infront of the exhibition centre.

nights shots would have to be the best. just make sure there's enough light. what about the old exhibition centre where imax is, etc)? or is that not recognisable enough? they have a very big piece of flat concrete for a nice shoot and backdrop....

i say we go somewhere not so public (not attracting attention or police) with as dave said the baulty (sp?) or maybe even the city in the back ground... hey ula u up for a cruise tonight to go have a look around? im already in the city as im at work... finish at 12.

how about the pier infront of old colonnial statium/dockland appartments?? baulty is in the background lit up in all its glory.....watch out for the big pink sti sign though.....haha....theres lots of carparks/roads that meet up right under the bridge....very nice low angle shot lookin up at the bridge......

hahaha i could b there in 2 mins!

but there would b to many fullysik cars around at night, especially sat night there to drown the 3 gtrs away :) :lol:

yah a little meet would be nice... i should be in the city in some cafe....... check your pm. colonial should be good.... and those carpark shots looking up into the boltie bridge.....its fenced off pretty bad so the scenery might not be that good.

yes and when u have something to contribute to the topic feel free to post again... if u dont, read the last sentence in this post.

rather than having this one closed too.

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
