I have spare beds available in the accomodation thread.

It's not that messy. Just Troy doing his thing. He's slept on the hall runner at my place when doing a late one fixing his car, just so he doesn't mess the bed up.

Dane would bring the Clubsport up if that had a decent clutch in it.

I've offered him to co drive my car and he is still deciding if he's going to do that. (I'm tipping that he will!) Although my clutch is wearing pretty thin too.

Must be an evil clutch spirt lurking around DECA competitors!

I took the shitbox in for a bit of a check today and got it back only to be told that the clutch is on its way out so I gotta take it easy heh. take it easy? fark that for a joke!

Gonna see if I can convince them to just put in a new one before saturday hehe

PS: Dane don't be a big pansy, either get upstaged driving the missus's car or bring the clubby :)

Thanks for the offers guys, really appreciate it!! :rolleyes:

If you guys are up for it, then so am I!! I'm spewing that I'm going to miss DECA, such a killer. It's even more of a killer because I just had the box out of the car on friday doing the rear main and the gearbox seal, and put martini oil in it... BA BOW for me :)

Do you have anywhere to do it. Is your clutch/flywheel etc all ok? If its jsut swapping over the gearbox do you want to have a go Thursday night? Throw in some cheap oil, drive it up to DECA Friday night to get some kms on it, flush out the cheap oil Friday night then top up with the good stuff Friday night...quick check everything is ok and then go thrashing on Saturday...:laugh:

My clutch is having slight issues... I've got some hairline fractures in the plates, but I don't know how long it's been like that. It seems to be working fine, but Sam seems to think that it may not be disengaging completely. We noticed it was like this before I went to morwell, so obviously it's been like that for a while and hasn't seem to have affected it too much. He's pricing me up a rebuild kit for it at the moment.

So as far as I'm aware it's only changing the box. The only issue I could see is that the block looks like it has been hacked a little bit with a screwdriver, so when they put the rear main seal in they had to silicon it a little bit to ensure it didn't leak, which it didn't, well at least for the 24 hours I had it back

I would love to be able to give it a go, however I'm not that mechanically minded, so I don't know how much help I will be, but I can follow orders! The major issue is somewhere to do it, as I don't have a garage/undercover area. I'll see if I can fin anywhere.

Thanks so much for the offers guys, I really appreciate it

Dave: If I bust the clubbie I'm really f**ked!! haha I'm really taking it easy until I can afford to replace the clutch in it... might have to settle for getting whooped by Juz, or we can put the box in the 180 and I can whoop her good haha

Woohhoooo I'm getting whooped!

Thems are fighting words Dane... Your lucky I'm in another state otherwise I would've kicked you in the junk for that comment!! hehe

I'll give you a run for your money (or should I say lack of money!).

It may pan out like this...

*Insert Dramatic Build up music*

Deca....

Two Drivers....

One S15...

There will be only one winner....

No prize for second best....

No excuses...

Its not just about the Hats anymore...

*More Dramatic Music*

hehe :P

I've also had to pull out because of car problems. I was under my car having a look on the weekend checking things and changing tyres and noticed my exhaust is about to split in half. The centre mount has broken and the muffler and exhaust are about to seperate! Unfortunately I don't have the time this week or the cash to fix it so I'm out for this one. I am still hoping to be there to help out and watch you all battle it out.

If you guys are serious about getting the 180 sorted, I will lend a hand if I have time on Thu. It can't be any more painfull than the GTR Box. TX5 boy and me had that out and in pretty quick.

Dane find a place. Can anyone lend a factory with hoist we can use late?

Dane, bring the car down to driftline and we can chuck it up on the hoist and have the gearbox swapped over in no time if you want it done before DECA. I'm sure some of the jspec boys would help out too... and the monkeys at driftline who cahnge gearboxes pretty much every day on drift thrashed 180s.

Should be able to organise it say late thursday or even friday night and then a cruise up to Shepp (seeing as driftline is off the Hume anyways)?

Thanks for that Shan. The only issue is a lack of funds to get the box in before DECA, otherwise the car is down at Sam's (Dr Drift) and I could probably get it done this week. But having to buy the other box has seriously depleted the bank account...

Chris: Thanks for the offer mate, much appreciated. :P

The boxes are usually pretty easy to put in as far as I'm aware, the only issue may be pulling the external gate off in order to tilt the engine.

Silva33: Thanks mate, if everyones up for the job that would be great!!

I can't say how much I appreciate all these offers guys, shows what a great car club this is. I owe everyone a beer!!

    • 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?
