haha I can't take all the credit, I knew he had the Ohlins already :laugh:

Project Mu is an odd name... but they do make a good pad :)

I think it's 33 on Sat with a cool change and around mid-20's on Sunday, so it should be nice at PI with the breeze off the water

Project Mu is not really that odd. The symbol used for friction coefficients is mu - the Greek letter. So calling a brake pad project mu is not reallly that odd. The things you learn.....

well our little alfa did some arse kicking down south of the border. a few probs in the early races, but 1st place in the last race was not too shabby. nor was going 42nd to 7th in the second race!!!

ah, sorry you missed him. it's a nuts little car. driving it with all the other group NC cars at wakefield opened my eyes (and filled my dax). then driving it the second time at oran park GP was one of the most enjoyable on track experiences i've had.

Man what a weekend !!! I'm trashed !!

Spencer came up and saw us on Saturday and then I went back to see him another 2 times on Sat & 1 on Sun and he was never with the car !! Some other guy was sitting there in Gulf overalls but no Spence....... and considering when he ran compared to us, we were always getting prepped and I missed every race he was in. :P

Was a great event, took a heap of pics of the GIO GT-R, will get them up in the next few days. Spent ages drooling over that thing :)

Man, where were all you guys ?? We were with the cars all 3 days and almost none of the SAU VIC people came up and introduced themselves :P I saw some sweet 32 GT-R's leaving on Sunday so I knew some of you guys were there but almost nobody stopped in to say Hi.

I wanted to have a chat with you about your 13B datto thebuzz !

Oh well, maybe next year...... and then again, maybe not since we've heard that our group might not be involved in this particular event in the future :P

Was an absoultely awesome day, best motor sport event I've ever been to by far, had a blast!!

I gained a new respect for the 31's. Love the prep work in them, and they sounded fantastic, especially blasting down the straight split by the VL and followed by the JPS M3. Was music to my ears!

Richard, which Alfa was it that you're talking about?

lol, the one that came first in race 3. group NC. white 2 litre GTV. :P

why?

that's a shame. sorry you missed spencer on the sunday. that would have been chris looking after the car probably. damn shame you missed the second race too as 42nd to 7th aint too shabby in 5 laps of PI! We need to get our shit together and mount up the in-car camera.

Richard: This shape?? English guy driving it??

Marlin: Nah, I didn't see it mate, what happened?

yep, just like that. yep, pommy bastard behind the wheel. entered under our sponsor, classic throttle shop. it's white with the speed stripes and it sounds mental!

edit: here's a pic from wakefield.

Did you guys see the carnage of the LJ and Walky? A mess and shame. I haven't read all through so apologies if it's mentioned prior.

That was Norm that got collected from behind in the Walky :nyaanyaa: He was pitting along side us and when he came back he looked pretty gutted ( as you would ) but they reacon they'll get it all fixed up and better than before & she'll be back out racing in no time :nyaanyaa:

As for the LJ....... TBA.....

    • 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?
