I'm sure there's something going, I've seen a few large gatherings of older Nissan/Datsun vehicles around Hobart in the last couple of years - I'm 100% I saw a website or something once, but can't remember now what it was.

i'll then them an e-mail and find out what sort of cars are coming down.  

maybe we could try and meet up with up with them?

Save your 1s and 0s, I'll fill you in.

We have about 30 cars and 50 people coming of to terrorise the natives there over the first weekend in Feb. On Sunday (Feb 6) we have arranged a Show'n'Shine on the lawns of Parliamernt House, just from 9am to around noon - you're all welcome to come along and say hello. On the Wednesday (Feb 9), we will be up at Simmons Plains for a day of fun. The rest of the time, we will be in driver's heaven cruising some of the roads used in Targa Tassie - "99 Bends", "Elephant's Pass", "The Sideling".

On the subject of a local club, there is a guy down there who is the "organiser" for the local Z Car Club - I'll have to go ask someone for his details, and I'll get back to you.

Anyway, see you in a couple of weeks. I'm really getting into Big Kev mode, particularly after doing this tour last year as well.

i'll then them an e-mail and find out what sort of cars are coming down.
Let's see, a fair few Zs (1 is a 260 2+2 with 383 Chev @ 500hp), a Rex Wagon, my RB25DET'd R32 GTS4, 200 SXs, 1600s, Silvias, 180 SXs, and a Micra!

Seems the local Z club died, so can't help you on that front. Maybe check with CAMS.

    • 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?
