If the weather Improves, I may attend. not looking good tho..

By the way. just want reiterate what paul was sayng about driving safe.. Take extra care guys when on your way to sky high, IF u still intend to go that route. I know that road like the back of my hand, and it can be a little unforgiving in the wet if your not careful. So just take care. Ive seen too many cars arse up in the Ditches.. have fun.

didnt end up making it to skye high. didnt even go by the map at all lol got to knox then went to fountain gate for white hot chocolate. mmmm yum. ne way roads were way to wet , very slippery. glad we didnt go up there

It wasnt a ditches that was the problem!!!

Wet night, all good tho, thanks to those who stopped! Sorry for the drama fellas..hope you had a good one!

ps: car goes in on monday...much thanks to Primal Garage for taking her on, I tink I got out of it very lucky...could have been much worse!

:(

Hi guys, sorry i couldnt make it last night, (having problems with my lights...)

what hapened 33gtst?

we will have to have another one soon, hopefully on a nicer night, maybe cruise down the mornington peninsula or somthing...

i would have no problem in organising a route if you are all up to it.

:blush:

thats good to hear. i saw everyone stop at the entrance to eastern whilst iwas pulled over i tried reversing back towards where everyone stopped lol wasnt a smart idea. hope theres no major damage.

Once again I'd like to say thanks to you all!!!

ah the car, well she needs new rear bar, and a fair bit of work required on the rear quarter.The boot still lines up fine, and the reo is still good. The lights are all sweet, not even a crack. Its had a very dodgy repair on it before, so large chunks of bog and shit fell out, this will now be all fixed up.

So its really not too bad. I'm very lucky.

I would like to post some tips as to how to act when on a cruise, as it is a group event with other SAU members present, doing burnouts, snakies etc i dont think is appropriate in a police infested area like knox, drawing attention like this isnt cool, we had trouble with cops that night and drawing attention is the last thing we want.

I may sound old, but i dont want my car EPA'd lol

cheers

Yeah, lol lucky Pettit wasnt out for once. he was out tonight though he impounded some P plater excel outside knox tonight. but i did lead the piggys away from you guys into the multi level haha, was funny shit. i dont wanna get EPA'ed either =P

god to hear youll fix up your car Danielle!

hey b3za were you in a dirt carpark near burwood highway (out near nutrametics)

i was really hung over, got my mate from tassie to drive us around (and around and around)... he was being mental in the carpark and i swear i saw a 4 door R34 and a white falcoon in the shadowsss

i went off at him as he got gravel in my brakes etc... very messy car now!

anyways... thought it was u.... was it?

    • 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?
