Its a car detailing center, so I assume that there would be a fair bit of parking at the place itself, and in the street surrounding.

there is not very much parking there at all. i'm not sure if you've been there but i reckon maybe 15-20 max in there.

What Rich said, the center is not that big. I reckon max 10 cars. There is heaps of street parking though.

Guess i'll just have to be one of the first there then :teehee:

Do you guys know what cross street this place is closest to on broadway?

Corner of Buckland Street and Broadway. If you are heading away from the city, it will be on the left side. If you are heading towards Chinatown/UTS is it on your right side.

It is also located where the old "BIG BOYZ TOYS" Location was back about 2years ago. Its the same place. In broadway.

LOL Im not even listed to go, guess its Friday and bored at work. Might drive pass there see who is there at the time lol

Nah i wasn't into it tonight, went straight home afterwards. Don't know about the rest. Saw gtr_fan and had a chat, but don't know about anyone else from SAU. I wanted to have a look around some (RB25) engine bays though! :( Time to cough up that membership fee...

Soft :(

It was pretty good. Got free stuff and now have half a clue on what to use and how to use it :O No other skylines though...disappointed on that one.

I was there, as was Richard (Beer Baron). I had the Stagea but parked down in the side street.

Was an alright night, fairly informative but a bit rushed. It was supposed to go for 2hrs, but went for about 45mins. Was good to see how much difference that proper attention to paint prep and protection can make.

It would have been better if there was less traffic noise (and some clowns insisted on talking through it), and the guy doing the polishing didn't really expand on when questions were asked. Not everyone uses an orbital or rotary buffer, either.

yeah it was ok. Joy was there too with R33. I took the soarer. It was good to see the place, and get some advice.

I have to say the type of cars there was not quite to my taste. I was pretty sure painting a charade at home in your backyard, then adding the loudest fart can you can find and a leather interior went out of style in 1995 (was it ever in style?).

Yeah i agree. That was the reason i didn't stay (didn't want to drive around with the charades etc...haha). Ah so you were the soarer. Came and left pretty quickly. :D

Oh and i have to admit me and a mate were quite surprised/excited seeing the chick get into the R33. hehe

Hope you all had a good night, and thanks to everyone that attended. That was the first of those nights to be run, I found out later. All your comments and advice will be passed onto the organisers on their end, to make future nights better.

    • 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?
