Bel, Make sure you go left at the cemetary.. OR via off left at that intersection.

We made that mistake and had to turn around 20 cars on a little dirt road.

Sorry guys, I'm not going to be able to make it. Unless someone feels the need to give me money to fix my diff ;)

Please?

Anyway, I have my step mums birthday on that night to. If we leave there early enough I might try and persuade Andrew to come into Roma Street. Don't be too scared of little Brutis. He's not that fast :)

What time you's meeting at roma street... Or leaving Roma Street?

ok, well the goldcoasters are still meeting at bp coomera at 7:15 and departing to head to roma st at 7:30. we should be at roma st around 8ish or so, most people wont turn up till round 8:30 i believe which is fine, id say we will probably leave roma st around 9:30 or so mabey later, and begin on our way south onto the proposed cruise route posted above. once we get to hinze dam depending on the time and what the general group wants to do will see us head to either bwcp (which is usually starting to empty out around this time from memory) bermuda st, or shell mudgeeraba.

i dont see any reason inhibiting us from cruising up to roma st, its not all that far, the bp service centers dont seem to be too keen on big groups meeting in their carparks, Roma st has worked before and i have no doubt it will work again.

the idea is for a cruise in the hills fellas, we will get in a bit of "showpony action" towards the end as well.

nismogirl, yeh i know about that one, i went flying past it when i went and sused the route out myself, and nope, i need my dif :D

the directions are pretty self explanitory, i hope :)

timing belt and water pump and labour came to 450

i wouldnt let autobarn touch my car, i was talking to someone who bought one of my friends old cars, and he said when he asked the autobarn guy what something was (his boost controler) the guy told him then proceded to say he would adjust it for him, he had wound the adjuster all the way out on the high stage. its remarkably lucky he didnt use the switch and do some damage to his engine.

back on topic, hopefully there will be a good turnout, sorry i kinda hijacked organising this from you smoothline :D

Would be interesting to know if it was the same autobarn... im taking a letter signed by nissan to them after nissan fixes it, demanding all costs be repaid. Its a joke... high voltage just fries the batt after a few kms of driving... grrrrrr!

Bundall?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • 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?
