Nismo Festival 2006 - Fuji Speedway


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

After last weeks Toyota Festival which was held at the same venue, i headed out to Fuji Speedway yesterday to witness for myself the Nismo Festival '10th lap special'. With the weather looking ominous we got up nice and early to head out there.. Rumours of a "Garage Sale" being held proved to be true, to which Adam (a friend) managed to pick up some nice stuff from. (Watchout out for it on Ebay! lol) Anyway, after waiting in line to get into these 'Garage Sales' and 'Bargain sales' (Picked up a nice Nismo Jacket from there..) we went and had a look around. Lots of nice stores, lots of nice rides and never ending ways of spending your hard earned. Though there were quite a few free things to do for free (Especially if you were a kid), but this fella also got to change the tyre of a GT500 car heheh (^_^) Anyway, after everything, i can say we had a great day, got to see lots of beautiful cars, some very nice old school rides and some nice track events. Definitely worth the early wake up call!

Now lets let the pictures speak!

Not a bad way to Drop 20k..

glad you enjoyed it. I've been to japan 3 times in 2 years and still haven't been able to coincide a trip with nismo festival. :thumbsup: They always release the dates quite late. I just missed it this time by 2 weeks :laugh::(

looks like a great day. and Fuji speedway is an awesome facility. I loved it there.

the sunline R34 looks cool in matt black, I wonder if they have something planned for it colour wise?

Great cars in the photos mate, not sure about that ugly looking bloke that seemed to sneak into a few of them though..... :( Looks like you had a much more enjoyable day than me. f*k that test is hard!! I asked a proctor and it looks like it is only held once a year, too.

    • 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?
