I think it's not realy a big issue, as we never have more than like three - five people that miss out. Basicaly to do a two day event we would need around 90 - 100 entries, and were not getting near that. Sure, probably a few people don't bother sending an entry in after the event hits 55, but I doubt if we would get to 100.

I know of about 3 people that would go if it wasn't so hard to get in. They basically said ahh.. it's too hard. I also have mates who would join SAU Vic if they knew they could get a spot. I think we would get the numbers but yeah there would be HEAPS more work involved. We'd need to start paying the organisers wages.

I love the NSW guys and as so many people do I want to offer my hand and car in friendship as allmost all vic drivers suck at DECA and should not own a drivers lic let alone own a Skyline.

So I would like tosay that I and all the other Vics will be happy to be you servents for the time period while you legend drivers are down in our small state.

Thanks Roy!

It also means there are two spare beds for the accomodation. If anyone wants them I'm not sure who to contact Jess (Sinful) or Bec perhaps.

Hey everyone.

It's still 27 days till I get my licence back and still not sure if my mate will be able to drive my car up for me. I need to go up saturday morning and be back for a bucks night saturday night too.

Anyone here who is a good driver that could drive my car up and back for me? Car has a tricky clutch and spool diff that takes a bit to get used to but isn't too hard.

Can you help?

thanks.

If my cars not ready to go up on Fri, I can probably help. What suburb are you in?

Sorry should have mentioned. I'm in Doncaster East.

Cool thanks mate. That would be great.

Still a heads up at this stage. Waiting to hear back from my mate.

haha I can vouch for that!... smooth as a babies behind once its moving, just as long as your not trying to exit a servo with the cops cruising past lol

I think I have to work on Sat at this stage but let me know if your mate falls through and I'll see what I can do

At this stage I would like to invite the following people from the reserves list into the event.

Mark Lampard EVO

James Ward EVO 8MR

Mark Kelly R33

Andrew Dean R33 GTR

Please let me know once you see this and confirm if you can make it / can't make it.

Once I finish the event schedule and do some peliminary estimated timing, I can work out how many we can run with on the day.

Chris,

I won't be able to make it unfortunately due to awaiting on a set of injectors, so please take me off the list.

I am hoping to make it up there though to cheer on the lads!

    • 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?
