Improved Production Nationals 29-30sept


Recommended Posts

The Improved Production Nationals are on at Morgan Park Warwick next weekend. Included in some of the high quality cars coming up from down south are at least two of the best GTRs running around. One driven by Dave Loftus and the other by John Boston. They're extremely well built cars and definitely worth coming to see. I'll be there on Sunday to see if my mate's track record gets done by the interstate GTRs!

So if you want to see 2 or 3 GTRs out the front of a field again like the good old days of Group A racing and this pic from the last NSW IPRA round get out to Warwick and check it out!

warwick is about 2hrs roughly from brissy. Funny cause the qr state champs are on also at qr same date. I would love to go and see the gtrs race, hopefully someone will get some video footage.

I dont know how to get there, But im keen as... is that the warick like 130kms past ipswich?

that's right. its about a 2hr drive from brisbane. Just keep going on the highway past QR/Willowbank and that will take you straight into Warwick. There are permanent big Green signs on the roadside directing you to Morgan Park Raceway - you go through Warwick and pretty much out the other side of the town towards Stanthorpe before you see the sign directing you to Morgan Park

I can't find any info on gate costs or a race program, but from experience, qualifying will be on Saturday morning and most of the races including the final will be on Sunday. They're running a Top 10 shootout on Saturday afternoon for the Top 10 in both over and under 2L classes, so that might be worth watching too. I'd expect gate cost to be about $30? I'll see if I can find out more.

The QLD IPRA Nationals page doesn't have much info at all...

Road Trip!!!!!

I'd be up for that. I'll be heading out there on the Sunday if anyone want to meet up for the drive?

I've only got a diesel Patrol at the moment though, so you might have to wait for me to catch up after Cunningham's Gap! :lol actually, I'm not joking - it ain't fast up hills... but I'm negotiating with a guy about a Skyline in Melbourne at the moment though, and there's a slight possibility it might be here in time if all goes well :D

    • 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?
