Cruise was great as usual, thanks to James for organising! Pizza afterwards was hectic (damn burnt my face off though :D ) Looking forward to the next cruise.

Also I'm with Abo Bob on this one. You guys are entitled to your opinions but keep the slang talk off the threads boys. Save it for the street because you're making us all look bad.

yeah guys, enough fighting before they close the entire events section and restrict it to paying members only. seems to be the next logical step after what happened in the community section, eh?

Of course we don't want to but most people can understand that Prank would not want the police and media pointing their fingers at him saying that he facilitates 'hoons' getting together for 'street racing' and 'burnouts' and whatever else they love to accuse us of.

As for fighting on the forums, it's ugly and no one wants it. The people involved might feel justified but for pretty much everyone else it's tacky and shite.

Everyone should check out this thread. Read all the posts by 10penceshort. It's a really long thread but you can ignore most of the other peoples posts.

Wow, that's a messed up story.

Reminds me why i don't push the limits on public roads.

Thanks to all who came on the day, and participated for the photos!

I had a talk to my brother (S14), not to drive like that again.. (CASE CLOSED)

Looking forward to the next one guys!

I believe we have already noted the behavior of some people on the cruises, I'm pretty sure they have been delt with and will keep within the limits next time.

Everyone had a pretty good run, hope to see you all next time.

To everyone who does go on my cruises:

Please respect the rules of this club, as its reputation is on the line, everytime we are out and about.

I love the drives, and do this for a social thing only:

- Meeting new people

- People helping others with problems on their cars

- the whole fun atmosphere

- and friends being made along the way

I have spoken to the people who do the occasional burnout and drift on my cruise, and they have promised to do this in their own time, not when cruising with everyone else.

So people please, just to re-iterate, lets respect one another.. The drives I organise, are for everyone to have fun, not to bicker like this.

Kind Regards,

James

Well said mate James. I did enjoy meeting everyone. I was a bit reserved about the sydney cruise scene coming from QLD but now that I've had a chance to meet a few people in it, I think I'm going to enjoy more cruises to come.

We will have to tone it down though. Since I was at the back of the pack going thru the national park, I was getting abused by all the on-comming traffic that had passed those few people that got a little to carried away on those tight corners. :D

Exactly Nathaniel.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Nice one James.

Yes, some of the convoy might think it's fun but they're forgetting about families driving past, getting disturbed and scared.

Good on you James for your posts.

    • 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?
