Seeing they won't post my reply. I'll post it here :laughing-smiley-014:

Daryl,

You can read my email and cross reference my user name on other forums, congratulations!

In terms of Garry’s behaviour out side the skid plan complex, you guys seem to know who, what and when people play up out there. I only assumed you knew, in regards to why it wasn’t brought up pervious, was due to it only happening at the last event.

I was referring to the VS commodore speedway car, not the Escort.

It appears you think I was the driver of one of the black R32s? Or even competing at the event? I was a spectator. I left shortly after the trophies were given out. I was not aware of ANY SKIDS at the end of the day, as I wasn’t there. I have spoken to both the R32 drivers and the have admitted to spinning the wheels, due to the wet grass and heavier clutch’s, they weren’t intentional – Again I wasn’t there simply relaying what I have been told today.

The father of the guy in the quick black R32 was there and competing in his mini, and has told me he did not see either of the R32’s “kick it out” when leaving, but the wheels had spun..

You had said a skid was left LEAVING the skidpan, I was referring to actually leaving the pan and onto the ring road, not the complex its self.

If you have so many witnesses of skids are the other guys who spun up the grass being reprimanded? The Purple R31, Blue 180sx and the Maroon R32 come to mind.

I appreciate the time and effort you and the volunteer’s do put in, I have been involved with running events my self, including the Noosa Hill Climb, however these time errors at your event have happened more then once. Being a CAMS affiliated event I had of thought you would be following closer to how other Motorkhana are run.

The time board wasn’t on display, which it should have been and when a discrepancy was made it was totally ignored. We are all at a loss how the black R32 was 20 seconds behind at the end of the day, when no cones were knocked down. A simple please explain and a simple answer was all that was needed.

Prime example was the third or forth last track, Ashleigh had stated it was done perfect, and it was done in 56.xx, yet the time card Rob had done had 61.xx, with the 5 that was changed into a 6.. Another miss-hap example was at one of the last events, last year – Garry was placed first in the 6 cylinder class, yet he was running a 4 cylinder 180sx on the day.

In relation to questioning my driving ability and me saying Garry is beating me is total crap, I wasn’t competing on the weekend, nor have since I’ve started to come along with the Noosa crew. My driving credential is more then ample. I’m an active member in the Porsche car club and compete in club level motor sport events be it with the Porsche club or open events in a 911 C2 and before that in a RUF 911. I’m more then happy to see how I go at your Motorkhana’s when I have my license back, as I’m under the impression I can only compete with a current drivers license.

I have also been an active volunteer in assisting motor sports events and was originally involved with my father, the Noosa Beach Car Club and the HRCC in making the Noosa hill climb happen.

I have spoken to my father’s solicitor, and he has seen this thread. I won’t be re-removing ANYTHING from my posts, as questioning the ability of timing and “penmanship” in writing along with suggesting cheating within a motor sport event in reality won’t really fall under what the legal system will take serious and is debatable just how bad it will harm a ones reputation. I will however make an apology to Ashleigh as what I said wasn’t called for, nor needed to be said.

By all means sue me for slander & defamation, you won’t be the first nor last. I’ve been sued and have sued for the same, it goes nowhere real quick and as a non-profit car club I question the clubs financial position with being able to keep throwing money at solicitors for something pitiful and trivial.

You would be completely wrong about my pathetic ranting & sulking on the subject of my career choice. I was a project developer and marketer for Century 21 for some years and then moved onto a Brisbane CBD firm.

Not only was I employed to do this by a firm; I also invest my own money in small developments in my own time in conjunction with my family. My profile never said I was a stockbroker, it said stock broking which I also have money involved with as well. My personal financial situation shouldn’t really be relevant not a concern in this matter how ever.

I admit I went the wrong way about voicing my views and opinion on this matter, however it needed to be said (just in a better way).

What a little bitch the Admin is on that site, the thread has been set to mod review before posting, for everyone it appears. Oh well, I'll just contact his car club sponsor's today and have a moan about how un ethical his club is.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?
