ok as topic says, last night bout 11:30, coming upto nth east road, near north adelaide, we saw a 34 being put onto a tow truck.

We decided to do a u turn and go have a better look, the whole drivers side was gone - like pushed half way in and the front window was smashed and roof was cut open, i seriously dont know if the driver couldve survived that. Looks like it just crumpled around a stoby pole.

Was a silver 2 door, plates started with XLO or similar

Anyone else see it or know anything about it?

Bak on topic....

Yeah I was there just after it happened, driver was a bald headed guy with a dark goatee. The car was badly wrapped around a stobie pole and there was no visible skid marks or other damaged cars so I think he did it all by himself.

The ambos used two sets of 'Jaws of life' to cut the guy out which is why the whole side was opened up flick!

Hope all are ok but the car was pretty stock lookin with a set of enkei? or some such rims... dunno if it was anyone from the forum?

Thought of leeman or evil34 at first which is why we stopped.

..... Now back to the topic at hand! Obviously i hope the guy is ok, but in reality he must have been doing something stupid, as i assume he wasn't T-boned by someone else and then bang into the stobbie! Hope he doesnt buy another Line........ or if he does he has learn from his life changing situation!

sounds like someone lost control, perhaps, on a slippery bit of road. over corrected and slammed into a fixed object, at speed. not good. I sincerely trust they are ok.

also sounds like some ppl (edit: read everyone!!) perhaps should deal with a load of debilitating pain at some stage in their life, more sympathy and thought may then be shown in regards to responding to posts. although I, and Im sure black32 agrees with me on this, wouldnt wish that on anyone. please think about the person you are replying to. its fairly common knowledge that black has suffered from a bad back injury, requiring heavy painkillers which can infact alter your mood. "trust me" I know.

if you are in a lot of pain, not feeling good about yourself, it doesnt take much to rub you up the wrong way. I think black32 here presents himself admirably, in regards to his particular circumstances.

ignore me, Im rambling. better then drooling tho. :(

edit: apologies for my stupid post. but meh. thats me.

      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?
