hey everyone, i have study the map and i hope i wont get lost (fingers crossed) but for the sake of a good cruise, can someone else take the lead as i dont want to take a wrong turn and see every other car go the other direction from me lol....

and no ending locaton has been organised.. so i guess we will go where we want on the night...

Sorry to pull guys but i cant make it. My car is sooooo not ready for next week dyno night...

I am in the process of putting it all back together atm...

The earliest i could get it into Matt Spry is next Thursday (the day of the dyno night) at 9am... So here is hoping that nothing goes wrong otherwise ill be stuck down the gold coast... LOL

sad to hear that col.... i would offer a lift, but sadly it looks like im going to have 3 people in car as it is... and i dont think 4 would fit to nicely

Serious question?

Why SAU?

whynot pulsar.org or something?

Not much stuff happens with the pulsar forums...

Just got my car back on the road after a long hiatus and wanted to take it out with some other predominantly turbo cars and have some fun.

Plus I live about 5 minutes from the airport :P

Anyway, seems like its only really Skylines so no worries anyway :(

Please come say hi though.

By fun I meant checking out some nice cars, going for a drive, etc.

I ain't no FF Hoon :(

Well if I'm welcome I might pop round and say hi and checkout some of the awesome rides on here in person :P

OK, I'll answer your query

Directions for those that will use the Gateway

If you are coming from the southside using the Gateway, you need to take the East-West Arterial Road exit off the Gateway.

You then drive down to a roundabout (you need to turn right as if you were heading for the airport).

You will now go under the Gateway and you'll be heading for another roundabout.

Go straight through the roundabout (again as if you were going to the airport)...you should very soon see the DFO on your right hand side (I hope you do, as I've never been to DFO, but have seen it from the car).

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Karen

thanks heaps mate, (smr33) which way do u think would be the easiest from the south side, im leaning towards the gateway.

Hey Col, if you need a lift I have an empty car. But I will be having a fairly early night as I start work on Friday morning at 5am.

We need your camera skills!!

PM your address if you are keen.

Gateway for sure :worship:

Paying the toll is worth it as then you don't have to stuff around with Riverside Expressway/Sandgate Road nightmare :D

    • 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?
