As the topic states, Auto Salon is back in Adelaide on the 12-13th August.

There are several cars in the group that are worthy of entering (not that I expect we will win King of Autosallon) and I wanted to know if its worth setting up an SAU site. Entry is $100, (less than a tank of petrol), and we need a minimum of 6 cars for a club display.

If your car is up to the job and you can spare the time to clean and polish then set up on Friday afternoon (3pm -10pm), add your name and details here. We tried this once before with mixed results, so this time I am suggesting people will nedd to be sure by the end of June and cars will be entered on the 1st of July (payment required)

Might be worth pitching in for a banner too.

And guess what? Darren works in Printing: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=120286 :mellow:

Oh and i think I'll keep my dunga OUT of this. Might be able to come by and help setup though.

Edited by Oosh

i'm keen, do you know the cost of entering plus dyno runs?

The only problem i can forsee for myself is that i work arvo's so setting up on friday could be difficult for me but i'll try and work something out!

If the car is ready in time then I am in - put me down as a 'yes' and I'll update prior to July 1st

My plan is to take the Friday off to prepare and set-up my car and then I'll help others as required.

No offence intended Mr. iNFMS, but it's SAU or nothing for me.

the r31 club had a smallish display last year

banner - best bet is to speak to Ted Turner Signs at Edwardstown as they did ours for around the $160 mark i reckon - and thats a 2000x1000 vinyl banner

dyno run is included in teh entry cost, dB drag racing is extra and ya gotta enter somewhere else

Well a few Skylines from my mechanic's w/shop are comming up to enter this year, as they just missed the Melbourne A.S. Would you allow us to join your stand? If i come i think there will be at least 4 Skylines.

Not sure if they want to enter on their own though, so i will keep you posted : .

i could b up 4 it, but ill know closer to the date cos might have somthing on....my car would need a bit of work done 2 it, the front kit is all hacked up at the bottom and i gota fix my lights cos they moved and clean my engine bay....actually clean the whole car...haha

I should be able to put my new car in:) as for dyno comp yeah may put mine in.

did u bought the 32 GTR from Kasai??

the car in yr avatar looks like it

looks like we got the number

now Matt/guy can collect $100 from each of us to ensure the club display will FINALLY happen this year :PBJ:

This is looking good so far this year.

I dont have a problem with other skylines fron Melbourne joining with us and it may even help if the Vic chapter of SAU (are u guys a propper club?) have an SAU banner we could borrow for the weekend.

The other aspect of a display is what sort of display will we set up? The entry form says a minimum is some sort of ground cover.

Any Ideas for a theme?

SAU VIC is the biggest chapter of SAU :blush:

Just spoke to the guys and they are entering as their own club "DRAGON". Not sure if i am going yet, but if i do i will prefer to enter with SAU :), i will keep you posted..

Jameszilla (James) is the person to PM for the SAU VIC banner. We also have merchandise :), nothing better than representing your club by wearing club polos/t-shirts :).

    • 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?
