Ok, now that I have your attention.

SAU NSW are having an Eastern Creek track day on sunday October 8. I am presently waiting on Wakefield Park to come back to me with regard to availability around that date for a second track day to make the journey worth your while.

Let the talking begin! :D:(

yeah don't forget due to nsw's closer alignment to the equator that GTSTs are quicker up here than GTRs :|

John's boat is a likely attendee, and sydneykid, GTR Jason and a couple of other quicker gtrs too.

Should be fun but we need deposits to hold places, the last track day sold out :D

Well you have to compare that to the other options....

Drive 1000klm @ say 10l per 100klm * 1.50. Will also need either other wheels or accept that you are gonna use a heap of semi slicks

Tow a trailer - need a trailer, and then 1000klm @15l/100klm. And the stress of towing a car that far.

$300 for the car and about 120 for a flight.

I have already got quotes from TNT, even though we will book the entire truck (or two), they still want over $300 per car, one way, with a minimum ground clearance of 5" (125mm :D).

5" of ground clearence?!?!

LOL - you are all jumping the gun!

I'm working on something but at the moment it looks like it will be in November - rather than this date in October.

Getting Wakefield for this date seems to be the problem. It's a long way to travel and so expenses are going to be high when you consider travel and accommodation - so everything I am doing is aimed about making this trip as affordable for as many as possible.

$220 is also about double what we pay for track days down here and I'm currently hoping to get everyone a date at Eastern Creek AND Wakefield for less than that total.

However - if I can get something organised for Wakefield then the 8th is still a possibility as it would be great to be there with SAUNSW.

guys try some of the other car carries like scots transport etc.

and duncan was it you that was telling me the other day how snowman couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dogs a55?

bring it on mexicans!

and troy since you are just a sydney boy stuck in melb behind enemy lines you can even borrow my GTST for the day since i'm sure your never ending project will not have ended. hehe i'm serious though.

try these boys:

in all seriouness though we need a few quick imported GTRs to show some cocky GTSTs a lesson or two.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
