Provided a mate doesn't have his b'day that wkend I should be there.

How's the season been for the Celica so far? & what happened to race 4 at Sandown last month?

Yeh the season has been going good and bad.......

We've rebuilt the engine, turbo and diff! Gearbox to go........ :laughing-smiley-014:

Yeh race 4 at Sandown we didn't start, we blew the diff on the last lap of race 3 and limped it over the line!

Tony blew his PPG box in race 4 also, so we were on the trailor early and ready for a drive back to SA!

We've had quite a few things we've needed to iron out over this year, as it's a build up from scratch! We've run Karts for 5+ years and was now the time to build the car. She should be alot better this round as we have now taken out the bump stops(dickheads for not remembering) put the flares on and widen the track by 20mm a corner. We still need to put a boot spoiler on as going thru the kink out the back of Mallala at 200+kmh in a 80's Celica can be a bit scetchy.

Mate I can't remember of hand what it was last round, but it could be $10, I'd say worst case $20!

Nick, sounds like a plan mate, I wouldn't give up a interstate trip tho, thats for sure!

I'm slowly getting more involved with the Intermarque boys both the series and a few of the teams. However the bank balance doesn't help with all the rounds on the Eastern Seaboard. So more than likely out at Mallala instead :D and :)

Yeh tell me about it, I help out 2 mates, 1 in IPRA at a state level + interstate once a year! and my other mate runs a Saloon Car at national level, so that sees me heading east for those rounds, ALOT of fun the old race weekends! Havn't seen much of the AMRS rounds as the Saloons are following The Nationals series!

ok, the salons are always a good series to be involved with, most of the guys are great. Thankfully my mates run a few Porsches between them so there is always work to be done, and when they aren't racing they are the ones running the series so they have said they would like some help to do paperwork, tyre allocation ect. But as you would know time and money aren't the easiest things to arrange. Especially money -- i have had my car for nearly 3 years now and its still stock :D !!!!

Winton should be a good weekend for us at the IM series. 1 hour race a heap of competitors lined up. Including Teddys 360NGT, John's Aston martin, Ac Cobras, the Maserati Grandsports and the usual gaggle of Porsches. Hoping to have a 34GTR and a few Vipers up fighting with the Euro stuff aswell.

Nah his name is Chris - he is a friend of the family that travels around with the crew and works on the cars. Nick is now running BRM, he should be driving the F3000 as well as Samantha Reeds parents have lodged a complaint that he drove it at an earlier test day and isn't competing in the State series.

Ahhh ok then, Can't say i know Chris, I only know Nick, Mark, Neame, Wombat pretty well as we raced Karts with them.

So what Nick doesn't run under Tom Walkinshaw(spelling) anymore? or is that just for the National rounds?? And State rounds will be BRM??

Did you hear Nick got to drive Tanders V8 around Phillip Island the bastard!! I think he might head to F3 next year and be apart of the Tandersport crew! well that was the latest i heard!

Yeh Sam Reed is ok, Good to see some half decent looking birds out there in a race suit........lol

      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?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
