Anyone done any cruises up the Northern Beaches to say Palm Beach?

I'd be game to help organize one if there would be interest? Have a meeting point somewhere west and another somewhere near the bridge. Cruise to Palm Beach. Do the beach thing. Head back.

Would anyone what to help organize it with me?

i was driving along last night down mona rd, and there was a streetcommodores cruise on, about 50 cars it was massive and they all lined up in one line that was like a kilometer long looked ok, but i drove past them and some of the biggest death stares with my SAU sticker on ahhah

my maye was with me in his 33 he isnt on the forum so he wasnt aware of the tension between the 2 clubs and i pulled off and went bak and he kept going so i had to call him to not follow them all the way otherwise he might get in a spot of bother

I was thinking sometime in early March?

Guess we need is a good place to start. Someplace everyone from west and south could get to easily. If we got some guys/gals to help from those areas they could meet up and then we could find someplace central (Chatswood, N Sydney) where everyone could meet up and go the rest of the way together.

Part two is we need a destination in Palm Beach. The beach would obviously be cool but later in the day parking might be tougher. I've been there a few times buy don't know the landscape that well.

I know its a bit of a haul for some of our western and southern friends do we'll have to wire us some entertainment at the destination. I have notice that surfboard don't fit into 'lines very well...

Hey champ, I live in the area you just mentioned. Would not be any bother to assist you if you want, meeting in chatswood could be a tad awkward due to highly poppulated while shops are open. Have you considered maybe Artarmon Industrial Area its near M2, Pacific Hwy close to chatswood & Nth Sydney, I have a workshop there, not so hard to find parking at times.Maybe at Max Breners St Ives on Monavale rd in car park, main rd leads out west & to beaches. :(

Anyhow just let us know what you would like to do & I will see if I can assit you in anyway. ;)

I was actually invited to that cruise - even in my car :happy: (street comms)

spose being good mates with the editors helps :ninja:

(off topic - Jase - where is your workshop?? Im in Artamon also - Fredrick street)

Hey guys,the last pizza cruise to palm beach meeting place was in the chatswood chase car park then everyone went down to a pizza place in new port then after that everyone went to palm beach.

If it's on I'm there. :happy: there is the link for The last pizza cruise

Hey CHRIS the shops in Cleg st, but I'm not there everyday. Will be there on appointment, got a dealership & mobile work goin on at the moment, hopefully be there full time if I can keep the work comin to me rather than me goin to the work. More than welcome to pop in 1day, can probably even give you a lift home, cousins house is in Montview pd, give me an excuse to visit him:) .

We can go one of two ways

So the last pizza cruise was a night thing. Took off around 9 and headed up for pizza. Would be a fun kinda night cruise but some of the less behaved boys might be more inclinded to act the fool. One approach could take is to drive up to Palm late afternoon, catch sundown at the beach, then head down for pizza and everyone can go their ways (home or out) from there. Probably argues for a Saturday night (March 24th?).

Alternatively, I was thinking a bit more Sunday morning - day like the Blue Mountains & Wiseman's Ferry. Drive up in the morning - hang at the beach. We can either BBQ there or then leave back down to Mona Vale or somewhere on the way back and get a bite. I suspect by March the weekend crowds will be down and finding mass parking during the day will be OK. Sunday the 25th is probably a better option for that.

What do you guys think?

    • 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?
