Oh yeah.... I forgot to ask. Can we change it to saturday? Id really like to go for a skim on Sunday :)

That or is the cruise near to a beach...? Can you at least say that? If its near a beach I have to take my skimboard.

hey col

have u or any of the other organisers done a dummy run on how many km's the final destination is and whats the road like so i can adjust my damping to suite

:)

Mate, u r in QLD...

all roads are sh!t - take it up 6 inches and go soft :)

Its under 45km's and the roads are few nice...

If you have height adjustable id suggest lifting it to a legal road height, as we will be using a large grass field and is no hassle for my R33 which rides at 120mm on the front bar...

nah i remember the roads to summerset had their moments and i was on stock wheels and shocks then, now with 18's and hks coilovers some decent pot holes make it a real handful and ends up makin the cruise seem shit as ur workin over time avoiding crap, and what u talkin about bris roads are the worst the sunnycoast ones arent to bad, ALL DAMAGE to my car has been done it that craphole called brisbane

Col - the ride hight is just legal and generally driveways and public car parks are the worst but its more the stiffness of the coilovers that im concerned about as is, it handles awesome but on crap roads you have to almost halve the legal speed otherwise it just shakes like hell and ends up breakin sumthin or you almost end up with kidney failure but if the roads arnt to bad then i will just leave it to the skill of drivin

Ive never damaged my car due to the conditions of any given road, I can only assume you run a height that is below legal limit and or suspension settings that are designed for the race track...

Either way you cannot blame the roads, you have to blame your setup... Sorry but its the truth...

Cool thanks Col. Big grass hill = bring the woody not either of the glass boards :)

And Col, if you drive the gateway each day and spend thousands of dollars on tolls each year I think those people have fair reason to say their cars are getting wrecked by that road.

nah its just gay public multilevel carparks and small sudden hills that tend to do the most damage, its been checked for legal height with to fatties sitting in it, it just scrapes in but legal is legal.

You also probably know bris alot better then i do, I try to stay away from it as much as possible

I look forward to the shanigans Davo...

    • Even welded diff, in a dead straight line is quiet. It's what's in my R33, and you only notice it is welded when attempting to turn.   This to me sounds like there is play somewhere. But I'm not sure where I'd look to be honest.   OP: are your tyres the same size left to right? Can you check what the markings on the rear left and rear right tyre are, and then how much tread is on each tyre?
    • 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?
