theres a lot of 'he said' / 'she said'.

sounds like something went on with the time sheets, a 'pen issue' ? lol. but u can always expect the club exec / members to stick up for their own. not a lot you can do except boycott the events in future. were u the guy they accused of doing a burnout / skid as you left ?

trust josh to be behind this... funny

HAHA, What can I say.. I like controversy.

Too funny. Did you actually race in this / which car were you in?

I wasn't competeting, I was in/with the R32's and other Noosa people.

Funny stuff josh...He's the same bloke who tried to get up me because i said their motorkhana days werent much good in another thread in the motorsport section.

It's weird though, I dont get motorkhanas...they are just so boring. There is no adrenalin rush, no real time competition, no real racing skill involved. Real racing involves more then one car (but pref about 20)on the track at a time and it must have a start finish line, where the first person to cross it wins after x amount of laps.

Bloody Nora Mike go easy! Real racing also involves a minumum out lay of megabucks and an on going budget that could feed a family.

These are peeps kickin back and havin some weekend fun. Most of them dont earn what it would take to run a real race car so they find their fun as best they can. Having attended a skidpan day I must say theres a lot of fun to be had just buzzin around on a wet track letting it all hang out without fear of having a megadollar breakdown or worse. It may interest you to know that there are some useful driving tips to be gleaned at these days as well. Now get to bed! :)

Probablly not Josh...

Your quite passionate about this arent you...?

PS> I like skidpan, I like trackdays, I like drag racing, I like drifting, I like being a qyno queen, I like them all evenlly... :)

Any motorsport, any cruise, any thing to do with a car and im interested...

I agree on your motorkhana view, although I guess it keeps your basic skills and practice up a bit. Can't believed you entered in one though! More so the Gympie one. What class are you racing in at QR? Trying to find a more serious class (EI: not Porsche club day events) for the 911. Want something I have half a chance at ranking a decent position in though, its only hobby and its not a dedicated race car either.

It was in general reference to my own dislike for motorkhanas. I also have attended one and i thought it could have been alot better. They were getting up us for hanging the arse out too much....and i could go on and have a whinge but i couldnt be stuffed.

Noel, ive learnt those tricks already from tear arsing around on wet roads like an idiot in the work utes. From what ive gathered, a more balanced car like a skyline is alot more predictable and gives a shit load more feedback then a stupid toyota hilux with 80% of its weight in the first third of its overall length. You learn a few things about car control from that. Not only that, but from my stupid fixation with Initial D in grade 12 i practied heel/toeing for a few years until i got it down-pat....and then we get a dog box...fate! Moral of the story, motorkhanas are stupid :) There i said it!

Bah talk about being pissed, those jokers need to take me off mod review or approve my reply for public viewing

Fighting a mod on his own forum is akin to pissing in the wind mate. you are on a hiding to nothing. cut your losses and bail. :)

Noel...i need your approval...your like the father i never had.

Josh got some advice.....you just old me to calm down.....I wont cry papa...im a big boy dammit!

Fight the power Josh...till your last breath!

    • 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?
