Brad, Favour - can you please message me first meet point :) As i have to meet sister in law in City at 11 to show her the bridesmaids shoes so im going to be about 30mins late.

Done...but just this once :D

It will go on regardless....probably rain in parts but "shouldn't" be too heavy, doesn't look as bad in the sky as it did last week. Thanks, more from Jeff Newman tomorrow.

yeah, pretty shit turn of events at the lights in Perth. Just Car is not open, so I will call tomorrow and hopefully my Fully Comp will cover all 3 cars. $600 excess. At leas the woman in the Hyundai wasn't a total bitch about it. Funny when Donovan said "is that your mum in the car, is she ok?" :D:)

Sorry about all that Donovan and others behind. :)

Just got back from dons house.

amazed to see the dmg his car sustained compared to the r32 gtr rear end... GTR's are made tough eh.

hopefully it all works out... i couldnt make this cruise due to meeting...

hope it all works out eh...

Awww sorry ot those that had their cars damaged. Hope it all sorts itself out.

I went to the second meet point and had fun from there on in - was a good cruise - little 'trafficky' in parts but that can't be helped sometimes. Glad i made the effort :(

that was a great cruise for most people. Don called me and told me what happened; I couldn't believe it. I was going to come back and help but I was told to keep going.

For the R33s, I have my stock front bumper someone can borrow until their car is back on the road. It's silver, buts better then nothing. Oherwise someone can buy it for $150!!

Other then that I really enjoyed it. I wanted to talk to a few more people, but my passengers were being unsociable.

:( guys. Hope everything works out ok. That was at the Mount St ?.

On an upbeat note, it was good to meet some new people and thanks to the Silvia guys and gals for the company. Good cruise...Canning Rd was definitely the highlight as usual, thanks for the company Dan...I'm tired, time for a margarita then a lie down.

Sorry to hear about the accident in the city :( Only when we got to Gateways I heard about it, and one guy mentioned a gunmetal gtr was one, a wine red 33 was another (some people thought it was me). Then I noticed Tom wasn't there & had a feeling it was him. That must have happened just behind me, I'd overtaken Tom in the tunnel & you wouldn't have been that far back. Again sorry to hear and hopefully they get fixed quickly.

That aside....it was a long day & after a wet start the weather turned good so even though we lost a lot of cars throughout we still had about 30 at the end. A long cruise, with the exception of the above & the dumbarse who decided it would be a good idea to park their car just around a blind corner on zig zag rd instead of pulling off to the side 5m away, was pretty event free!

Thanks to everyone who came out from both clubs :(

I broke my $380 carbon radiator shroud :(

Glad the cruise was good otherwise, Don called me and said with damage over $1000 a police report needs to be made so I'll be visiting my local cop shop tomorrow I think.

    • 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?
