Josh, had any work done at chapmans in noosa? If so, anygood?

They mainly do 4wd work. They were getting some silly power out of a super charged Pajero at one stage, only down fall is their dyno is pretty number happy. I would maybe take a conservative 10% off the max power pull number.

But I guess, what dyno’s really read correct numbers, they all seem to be out to some degree these days.

I probably wouldn’t get anything major done IE: performance rebuilt ect, I would think anything basic up to bolting on a turbo kit I couldn’t see an issue. I’d go have a chat and see what you think, as I said there main style of work seem to be 4wd’s :worship:

Was with a red S14, and blue Soarer.

The Soarer was like xr6 blue

Nup charlie still has it for now, i'm amazed though after the cops caught us drifting monday night haha, got off with a warning which is amazing.. That car is my hero soarer, the angles he was getting out of that car was insane and external waste gates sound sooooo good :ermm:

yeah he still has it...that thing screams,. but he mentioned he no longer has his licence though.

shame.

would love to give that thing a run.

Yeah he lost it yesterday for 3 months, so thats ' another ' person i have to taxi around..

Roger, if it had traction it would be a good run haha. One day :thumbsup:

yeah i saw you but now you have changed your wheels i keep thinking it mite be another GTR lol i still look for the white rims.... i was on the hill just pulled up to look at roger's supra, and talk to simon.

I saw a convoy of skylines when i was headin down brisbane on sunday nite,. 3 of them i saw up the coast,. but never seen them before so my guess was they're not from town... and seeing them on the M1 proves me right.

one was trying to fishtail when on traffic,. pretty cool sight but not neccesary.

also saw SLO34 heading the opposite direction,. im pretty sure thats him coz only one R34 i know has that nismo edition decals and in white.

he must be on his way back home.

heaps of cops on the weekend hey.

Anyone seen the nice 4 door white gts 32 with stickers up the back left of the back wind shield and fat vertex style kit kicking around? I saw it go by and tried to follow it but the damn traffic lights had me.

Roger, i was talking about charlie's soarer that loses tracion, my car grips straight after it loses tracion.

The white 32 with the BN Sports kit is my mate bens.

We went on a road trip to the gold coast on saturday to buy it.

its a 1990 gt-st 4 door with 32 gtr font guards and flared rear guards to fit the Work vs rims, got some nice dish on them too.

the car goes like the clappers but because of the camber set up and the tyres having no side wall, as soo as he boosts it it looses traction.

in the process of fixing it up now.

    • 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
