Friday Night Mountain Run - January


Recommended Posts

Here it is, the mountain run for January.

We Rescouted yesterday and a suitable route was picked out. I had quite a blast up there so it should be good for friday night.

Dinner will be at the Lone Star near Springwood crazy clarks.

There will have to be several group leaders I think as the route is quite complex and not a whole lot of places to stop off.

Where: Mt Tambourine and Surfers Paradise

When: 12/01/07

Exact Timings:

Northside Meetup - 6:30 at Bunnings on stafford road, same place as last time - leave 7:00 SHARP - if you miss it head to the southside meetup

Southside Meetup - 7:00, enter lone star at 7:15

Depart springwood Lone Star at aprox 9:00 - head up highway to Mt Tamborine & Hope Island exit, arrive at bottom of mountain at aprox 9:30 - 9:45

Come off mountain at aprox 11:30, Finish up in surfers at around 12. Head back down the highway then to bed/whatever.

Cost/What to bring: FULL fuel tank, money for dinner. CB radios if we get that organized, I have a small one, will pick a channel on the night.

Done and done, the groups will be worked out on the night, I was only really planning to have 3 or 4 ahead of me with the main body of the group behind me. If everyone says there in the faster group, well, it will defeat the point.

I will be going at about the same pace that i was going last time.

not to sure if this date would be such a good idea as the following day consist of the dyno day SAU QLD is organising.

Only thought people would have in deterring themselves away from this run would be any accidents that maybe caused and not being able to turn up to the dyno day.

Other thing would deter people away is running a full tank of fuel around a mountain and then again another full tank on the dyno.

what meet up points (aiming for a Southside and north side meet up this time)

Mok if theres a southside meet up and a northside meet up, ill try and hop along with someone (nice) from southside to give me a ride to the big meet up........will save Ian many km's and stress

Anyone live near logan?...(yes im a bogan)

Also 12th sounds a bit funny with the dyno dates but it would be a good celebration seeing as i get my uni offer the day before....hehe

Because its on a friday im sure ill be coming, work shouldnt hold me back past 5pm in the new year.

Count me in hun!

Anyone live near logan?...(yes im a bogan)

AAHHHHH!!!!!! BOGAN!!!! :dry:

sorry, that just came out for some reason. i also live on the southside as well if you need a ride.

definately count me in for this!!! :O i have been waiting for so long for a mountain run cruise. Boostloosing kicked me out for starting one :P i'll bring one other car with me, so make that two cars and two for lunch

We scouted last night, we decided the route we were taking was poor road quality - it was a fun drive with lots of twisties and plenty of fun but too many bumps, johno's car scraped many times and karen complained of the bumps too much :dry:

Were still going to do mt tambourine, however theres several routes up there and were going to pick a different one and rescout it in a few weeks.

We also got lost in surburban mt tambourine at one stage! Dodgy internet maps......

lilmike - what type of car are u bringing along as your consort?

my 33 skyline and my mates 32, and possibly a 34 as well! all gtst's though.

oh i meant to say dinner not lunch, but i guess you got the idea.

Edited by lilmike86

I'll see if I'm still in Brisbane but I'd be keen, work wants to send me to Melb it seems and planning to sell my 33 for a 32gtr... so very subject to location/owning a skyline.

Also in logan... well sort of (just inside Beaudesert and out of bogan, I'm a yokle y'all!).

Let's yas know.

Cheers,

Ben

my car, 2 for dinner, South side meet up. Slow group cos my Fiancé has a thing about me going to fast (just finish a 1 year licence disqualification).

    • 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?
