hey guys - we *should* be there - but I am going to start the stereo install on the stagea , and depending on the progress I may or may not be there for the cruise. Obviously if the cars in a fit state to come along we will be there!

that is the most p1ss weak excuse i have ever heard for a pre-emptive "get out of cruise free" attempt.

Man up and be there.

well to be honest I thought I would get in early as I dont gotz no intarweb at home

nah.. i will just busta hump and I am sure I will get it done -weather permitting!

Well just so that you all know, The map is set, and hopefully no-one will get lost.... if you do it won't be the fault of the instructions!!

I have added the aforementioned quiz, it's about 30 questions, every other one is either on Perth, or Stagea's..... some are fairly tough.... so now you know why we are called the SWAT.... he he!

Pretty good prizes for the winners (and for the people that don't get so many right).

There may also be a couple of spot prizes for ..... well wait and see!!

Looking forward to a fun day, with lots of smiles!! :down:

Just don't do any rain dances.....

And really Shane it isn't that hard to install a stereo..... besides you have Friday and Saturday.....

Cheers Guys

if i can do it so can you lol. but i have to take the head unit out again because i forgot to hook up the power for the areial amplifier.. but meh i didnt install a stereo to listen to the radio.. :D

yer well i feel like a dodo... reading it as saturday not sunday... damn hang overs.

ill come down for the meet point but that is about it..

the car is under warranty, but still dont want it to break and not have it for weeks on end.

Great work John!

I'm sooo excited to meet other Stagea owners and see lots of Stags together! Talk shop about potential performance upgrades, etc. Plus get lots of pics :down:

I'll have to get the polish out tomorrow and make sure our car aka "Ag" is looking his Sunday best :P

Can you email me a copy of the map, because as previously mentioned I may have to try and catch up/ meet up enroute.

See you all there!

Oh well the latest forecast on the weather is: some showers, possible thunderstorm!! Don't let this put you off. We are bringing a couple of very large garden umbrellas, and some rope to tie them down! if anyone wants to bring a tarp and ropes... be my guest.

The maps will be given out at Burswood.

Just a note on the quiz.... The quiz is written to keep pace with the cruise. Some questions will need to be answered as you go by certain points, (or at least these points remembered, if you are on your own). All of the Stagea questions can be answered at any time. I accidentally repeated one question, but you won't get double points for answering it twice! :cheers: There is a 1st prize, so no conferring at meet points, you can go through it all at the end.

Everyone will get something, just for showing up.

So, looking forward to seeing all the old faces and new ones......

See you there.

John

Hey chuckie how much fuel did you use last night I went through 1/4 a tank. Glad I don't drive my girl every day.

Karl never look at that when we are out on an evening like that ???,i think that 20 litre`s may be more ??,rev`s never under 4,500/5000,so it goes through a bit but, you we`er with front boy`s & they we`er quick,the wrx hurt going up to martin he had no idear on the road which i do use often,2nd/3rd got work out,need some sway bar`s would make it alot better,see you sunday.

started the stag to head on down to say hi and the 4wd relay went nuts!

:blush: didnt want to risk it... once she is all fixed ill be there for sure next time ok

hope you all had a good time!!

sorry we didnt make it :thumbsup:

the stereo install is just taking a LOT longer than I anticipated. I really dunno wtf is taking all the time to be honest !!!

but I have run the cabling for the rear speakers thru the factory harness ( so you cant see another set of wires near the door hinges ) and yeah just stuff like that takes forever.

( HINT- get some whipper snipper cord -pass it thru the wiring harness - and tie the cable to it- pull back )

and all the running around we had to do on sunday ( picking up the power cable etc )

so all thats really left to do now is to get the seats back in ( only drivers in right now )

and connect all speakers to amp etc.

I drove the stag into work today ( so I can piss off early and finish the install ) haha.. kinda funny driving a stagea buit for 1 !

so yeah hope you all had fun ! shame bout the weather

( I had to go fit some lightbulbs for mum and get the power cable so I did all that when it was raining )

Now it's a p1ss weak excuse!

if you could drive to work today, how come you couldn't have chucked the passenger seat back in and come out yesterday.

If you had you would have missed all the rain, we did, not one 'brolly reqd.

Next time we'll try to give you more notice!!!

Shamus, you missed out on a really good day. I hope everyone enjoyed the map and the quiz. I enjoyed making them and getting and giving the prizes.

Steve and Mandy won the 1st prize.... (T-shirt)

Leroy and Penny won 2nd (flask)

I guess that I should say that Supercheap in Melville donated the socket set (3rd prize), which was won by Daniel and Dale.

The best all-around answer for "I love my Stagea because?" was from Graham..... "cos everything else sucks!"

Thanks guys for all the photo's and supporting the day, just a pity that a few more didn't make it..... still I think that it rated well.

Rebold Hill look out was something.........talk about take over the car park!

Looking forward to the next one..... hopefully I helped to "lift the bar" a little.

A bit more organisation, (and help) and we could have had much better prizes. So I am going to offer my help to whoever wants to do the next one. I reckon that I can get a few good prizes out of people if we try hard. I once did a combined car club quiz night, and we had prizes for the top 16 tables!! First prize was a weekend for 6 in Albany, including the fuel to get there!! 2nd a weekend for 2 in Perth.

Something like that might a few more turner-uppers!!

    • 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?
