Hi Everyone

Just thought I'd let you know that we'll be running a skidpan day at Oran Park on Sunday 20th April.

We'll be running a morning session from 8.00 am until 12.00pm and an afternoon session from 12.30pm until 4.30pm.

Each session will be limited to 8 drivers only, so you'll get plenty of driving time.

Cost per driver is $150

The format we run to is pretty simple...

Brief classroom session (around 20 minutes) on basic skid control, skid causation, etc.

The rest of the time is spent driving practising skid control skills on the skidpan.

One car on the skidpan at a time.

If you'd like to come along please shoot me an email [email protected]

Kind regards

Kev

Guys

We've had a few people give us the runaround with this so we have a few remaining spots...

Two spots left in the afternoon

Four Spots left in the morning.

Just a little update also..

The day will be conducted by John Boston who is quite a well known Advanced Driving Instructor in Sydney, some of you who may have done Advanced courses/ trackdays before will know him.

We'll have our two wheeling car up there as well so you might also get ride on two wheels..... :D

Kev,

I was on the Stunt Driving course yesterday, and would just like to say that it was an AWESOME afternoon....the weather only added to the fun.

Thanks for a great afternoon - and I can't recommend this course highly enough.

Guys (and girls too), you all have to try it....they actually teach you how to get a car airborne :down:

    • 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?
