Was good day last time I was out there had slight overheating issue but hopefully fixed that now hard to say though because it was alot colder than last time. Was only my 2nd time out there still working out a few things but had a mate do dodgy lap time and said I was doing 1:28's still room for improvement but need more upgrades and $$$ now :thumbsup: Some very decent cars out there!! What happened to the boostworx RX7?? Saw him stop on track then came in with front end damage or was that already there??

Yeh Shaun from Boostworx sold his rx7 to my mates(who was running the blue Celica) uncle, It was his first time in the car and turn 2 bite him hard dents all down the drivers side and the front end damage, car was all good apart from the cosmetic damage, He ended up doing mid 1:20's by the end of the day, Shaun used to run 1:17's so he's doing alright for his first time! Were(Celica, Rx7, 808 and a few other IPRA cars) all off to Sandown in about 3 weeks, so looking forward to that!

Prob see you out there sometime!!

Yeah damage looked pretty bad but at least it was nothing major. Hopefully get out there again next practice but I dont know funds are running low and would really like to upgrade brakes before I go out again discs are pretty farked, but the bug has bitten now.......HARD :thumbsup: Think there is 2 practice days next month but I have a few other commitments so may not be out again till August, unless I somehow get hold of a whole heap of $$$ now :( :(

Yeh im hearing ya, I really wanna get the Skyline out there also, but to get it upto scratch and reliable is gonna cost me some dosh! I've been spanner man for a couple of mates now for about 8 years running Sprint Karts, Superkarts, Saloon Cars and Improved Production Cars, and everyone always asks, "when are you getting out there" and i always say "money"! I just love bieng in and around motorsport and helping my mates achieve good things, and we have won alot of comps/meetings over the years and it's quite fullfilling just doing that!

    • 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.
    • 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?
