anyone ELSE recommend any products to use to make my car shimmer?

:)

I recommend FW1 racing formula. Does your windows, rims, body work and engine bay, and anything else you may want to wax... :) Seriously good stuff i tell you.

Hey guys, here's an updated list for you for our position at the show.

Due to smaller expected turn outs for clubs they have moved us to a bigger position (42) We are also known as Skylines Australia, not the Japan/Australian Extras. See attached, hope you're all looking forward to it! :) Oh have also made a banner as I said I would, not sure where it will go/hang could drape it over my bonnet lol!

Perhaps get a couple of long pieces of timber/dowel/steel pipe tied into each end and jam them into the ground near the front of our area?

Also, relating to the 'Marshalling', is there events cars are entered into for prizes or something, or is this just the term given to directing and parking your car?

Terminal and I will be at the show at 8am, to see if we can stake down our area so to speak. As long as everyone else turns up before 9am, should be fine. Probably a good idea to cruise from the museum to the show. Take some pics too :)

So is this the final list?

I think it's safe to assume Leech will not be attended due to his previous comment of being in NZ.

Only me and one other person with a R31 will turn up. Apparently, it's too early in the morning to go for a drive.

I will have to confirm later tonight as the car is still in at the workshop getting new injectors and a tune. There may be a possiblilty that I may not get her back til next week. ;)

Cheers,

Brad

Sorry guys, you'll have to count my gtr out(the reason is outlined below) :)

I was really looking forward to this, I will however come along and take some photos though.

I have been right royally screwed over by an un-named fuel injector supplier!

Basically(or not so basic),

I ordered some new injectors. I thought they were the wrong ones when I got them, so I rang the supplier and quoted the part number they had sent and quoted the part number i thought they should have sent

The problem was that the right part number was on the invoice but the wrong part was sent(I did not have the invoice), but the really infuriating thing was that I had actually quoted the part they had sent but instead of listening to me in the first instance, the supplier got defensive straight away and they black and blue(quite rudely too) that they were right.

So...... I went ahead and cut the plugs and fittings(as per instructions from supplier, I rang about that too) off the old ones, dropped the new injectors in and took the car to the workshop(Tuesday) to get tuned.

Got a call from the workshop and they agreed with me that they thought that the injectors were wrong too. After bouncing many calls between the workshop and the supplier, the supplier finally admitted that they had sent the wrong injectors. They wanted me to send back the first lot before sending out the right ones, but after giving some CC details they sent out the right ones which the good lads at the workshop fitted up for me today, I thought all was good til I found out that the supplier hadn't sent out the fittings or plugs for the new proper injectors!!!

So......my baby is still sitting at the workshop with new injectors(the right ones) bolted in but with no way of running the car til the supplier sends the fittings.

Oh, and to add insult to injury they were going to try and charge me for the new fittings@!@!

BTW a huge thanks goes out to the boys at Trojan, they have shown great patience this week.

End of rant....

Cheers from a not so happy Brad.

Yay, I'll be coming with Sumanator(James) in his R31.

    • 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?
