hi,

I'm keen to meet with fellow owners'. since BWCP folded there is a bit of a void for meet-ups. so any new initiative is welcome.

I'm going to the USA on the 11th of next month for 2x months, so can't participate in any meets during that time; but after/before, I will definately show up. any day/ni, is good for me.

'onya', for trying to get someting going down here!.

regards

Yeah

most of these meets are at Brisbane

also there is this guy who organises regular Saturday Meets via Myspace

but his cruises are nothing compared to the Skyline one i went on.

He has hosted about 6 locally and only one was ruined by police.

usually a turn out of 15-30 cars (Mixture)

if your interested I can PM you details of the next one he hosts.

But I would prefer to go on a cruise with some SAU'ers

I'd prefer a regular meet somewhere on the Coast myself, but for a good roll up I would travel to Brizzy. some years back [in my V8 days] I used to go the Ford Cobra Club meetings. these were held on the first Sunday of each month; this was good because the meets didn't have to be continually reorganized , we all knew it was on and if we could make it we did, if not, there was always next month. sometimes there would be heaps of cars, othertimes only a few, but still worthwhile. perhaps something along these lines is worth considering!!.

I'm interested in the details of the Saturday Meets so details would be apreciated.

I can get two photographers to come and do the photos shoots.

Just need a concrete date so I can give work notice.

Also for the people who are interested in the local cruises I will PM you the Time & Location once its posted to me.

me johnno and dave used to do semi regular meetups on the gold coast.... I think some of you came along with us when we did some of the springbrook runs.

Johnno moved back to brisi (and blew up his engine), my engine also let go and dave is currently in melbourne (and rebuilding his engine). I'm keen for the odd cruise/meetup, but cant do places that are likely to have the boys in blue present.

slightly off topic: my nephnew joined the air force recently; he has just finished his first year and loves the life..and pretty good money considering his experience... he works out at Amberley. he reckons he is going to stay in for the rest of his working life. good luck with your new career.

Hehe yeah I have deferred this semester at Griffith Dan :P but will be back next semester. Needed a break.

I came to a few springbook runs with ya strik3r :P

Okay guys as for the cruise, well as im an events organiser for Hardtuned.net and we regularly hold monthly bbq meets. Would any of you guys be interested in joining our BBQ we holding this month on the 14th?? Last meet we had an awesome turnout of Nissan Members on the Gold Coast.

If you guys are more interested in just staying within the forum for members, i can always just organise sau'ers only.

But it would be good if we could get to know alot of other imports and its members on the gold coast.

Idea's people??

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?
