had loads of fun....good to see everyone had a ball as well...my biggest regret was doing the burnout for soooooo long and completely demolished my tyres....with no tyres i had no chance, esp in the wet...hit the water and spin...

looking forward to the next one...with some new tyres of course...

hey eug, nice to meet you out there today, and everyone else for that matter. Was a great day, one rexy had more serious problems, a few people overheated due to abuse lol and corinns clutch died. a lot of rubber was left on the track by the boys with deeper pockets and i had some good times and some extra fun runs :bunny:

all is good in the skyline world. looking forward to the next day, but we need a new event . i would like to learn to drift maybe they can incorporate that, but i guess you cant time it lol. figure 8 in the middle of the slalom maybe? i dunno. see you all at the next one

Wasn't just my clutch!

loose turbo, loose steering rack, broken engine mount

Also found out why my speedo is out so much. It doesn't have a 32 gtst diff!

If anyone has any feedback on the day good or bad please let me know :)

yeah he is from the autosports forum...he told me he was organising it....not sure what he is doing...think he said dvd....but wen i find out i will post across...

havent done burnouts like that before....and wont be doing them again....but damn the tyres were still smoking for a good 5 mins after getting off the pan.....the guys who busted there cars blocked the exit so it looked like mine was busted as well....i just couldbt get through..... burnouts in semi's.....damn....

lol yeah... right.

everyone knew you weren't blown up, its just that most people could see that you were going to get wiped out if you stayed there long enough.

plus your car was the only one from memory that actually dissapeared in a cloud of smoke, the otehrs were moving around too much.

not that i know a lot about burnouts *whistles* lol ive been to summernats too many times

yeah it was pretty crazy at times when all i could see was smoke and was doing it blind....had to stop before i could start moving again....when i was doing the tight circle work it was completely white....loved it but never doing it again...well not with good tyres or if i dont have a spare set with me...

i was worried about getting hit....wasnt the smartest place to park....

still holding out for the video....want to see it from outside the car cause it looked big from were i was sitting...

hey Weeman here with the grey XR6 T. I had a good time, I'm lookin foward to doing anyother one. Ill have to find some more stockies :P

Whoo! :P

Heh, sorry about my car being in the way there. Backwards pressure on the fuel pump; she came good after a few minutes settling.

Hey Tom,

Glad you enjoyed the day.

Its not the wheels that are the problems just go to a 2nd hand tyre place and you should be able to pick up tyres for $30 a corner :P

Thats what i plan to do next time i want to do burnouts....

might try some semi slicks next time....but not sure how the water section will go... but the understeer improvement should help alot....

ha you guys are getting too competitive, i went fast and i only drive one handed. you have a lot to learn before you waste money on semi slicks. i'm not sayting it wont help, im just saying you could get the time other ways. like driving better.

i'm sure its harder to do the slalom 180 turns on semis too, its tightest if you sliiide.

well i am the stig so driving ability is not of concern....tyres should greatly improve times if it isnt too wet...if there was no water at all i would definitely go the semi's...my first 2 runs were alot faster then last time....i was under by over 1.5 seconds....

i noticed that this time everyone was slower then last time....overall that is...i think the time trial format is great and love the competitiveness....

i plan to take back my crown in the rwd turbo category....

i plan to take back my crown in the rwd turbo category....

I think you woulda given me a real good run for 1st in RWD turbo class if you hadn't fried ya tires. But ill take it where I can get it.

cheers Weeman.

Whoo! :P

    • 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?
