Hey guys,

It's been a while since we've all caught up for a cruise. So we are finalising plans for the next cruise now.

The Newcastle (and local area skylines) will be travelling south this time down to Bateau Bay to hopefully meet up with any Central Coast skylines :angry: . If people would like to bring football's and camp chairs along so we can be comfy and entertained that would be great. If people have any suggestions for lunch and anything else then please voice them too. The last cruise we went on the the water works was a great day - so make sure you let any skyliners who dont check SAU regularly know that this is event is on too.

Details

When: Sunday 22nd October, 2006.

Locations: From Newcastle to Batteau Bay.

Time: Meetup at 9:00am at Spears Point carpark. Leave at 9:30am. (Try to be there on time, its annoying waiting for stragglers).

Route: Will be given out on the day.

Food: Apparently there is some nice little fast food joints opposite the place we will be parking at for lunch.

Cars attending: (16)

Hey Dave,

You can count me and Pete in on this.

We'll be in my car for this cruise, Pete blew his gearbox in the 32, and won't be fixed in time.

Yippee my car gets to come out of the shed other than just to run the kids to school.

Krissy..

Post this up in the central coast thread.

A few of us coasties will be interested in heading out to meet you guys.

Just a side note about the haven. For the past 2 weeks it has been defect central (having a RTA bus out there and all). So if you are heading down on a Thursday night, don't go into the haven. >_<

Yeah man I realise that. Thats why I said "just a side note". Was more for anyone in the Newie area who was thinking about cruising down on a Thurs just for fun sake.

:)

So it will be safe from cops on a sunday?

ill talk with some of the hornsby crew and we might cruz up and meet with you

Sounds good, more skylines the better :D

I will come along to this one. It has been ages since I have been on a cruise. The other half will bring her car along to, so count JEV666 and KAI53Y in for the day.

OMG!!! KAI53Y is the black 34 BR3TT took a pic of at Wesfield Tuggerah and posted on cc thread!!!

My plate is KA53YS !!! I'm a white R33!

SHAZZAMMM!!! he he he!!! :laugh:

    • 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?

    • 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
