For all those who have been blind for the past 6 weeks or so. A groups of us are heading to the drags tonight at Willowbank near Ipswich. Generally we will be meeting at 6:30-6:45 and race till 9pm. Should get a good number of runs in so come along.

$28 gets you in to race and a passenger as well.

Not a bad turn up, Me, Mick,Slip, MRE, BOOSTMEISTER, Birty, Nismogirl and her quiet partner and a couple of others that I didn't see. Also a guy called Ken in an R34. I ran against him on my last run, I had him all the way then he blew past me about 40 meters from the line and did me by about 0.026. me 14.813 him 14.787. Mick's best was 14.167 so we are continuing our trend of a new personal best each new meet.

Anybody want some TEIN suspension ???? "NOT SUITABLE FOR DRAG"......13.8 Last night but 13.7 is my best so far. My mate in his 180 ran a 13.2 with much less power than me but he has excellant suspension for drag.

I am aiming for a 12 for Jamboree....

Thanks for everyone for turning up, sorry I was late and couldn't spend much time meeting you guys. Next time

Yeah I feel the same cam, but oh well, i love putting her through corners, it's the price we pay I guess.

Oh well, i'll be there next time though. I think I can at least get into the 14's even with the suspension though, just need a good launch. Although....a VG30 Turbo wouldn't hurt :uh-huh:

Yep swap ya my stock suspension for it :(

Cam just put the stockers on with a high profile tire with lower pressure :( that way its still street trim :)

I have Tein springs in my car its very stiff and i got 2.1 60ft's which i could easily better with a new clutch.

All thoes jap cars you seen run street legal slicks.

Thanks man, thats basically what I am going to do....

Stock springs and shocks

17" rims with either, NITTO 555R, Yokohama AVS Sport or AZENIS.

New single plate brass button clutch.

That should be good enough to get me into the 12's with pump fuel.

    • 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?
