Sorry i could not drive the cruise with you guys due to other commitments.

Sorry to hear about the incidents. Hopefully it will all be sorted out with little fuss.

Im glad the cruise was enjoyable otherwise. Big thanks to Brian and the rest of the crew at SilviaWA for writing the map....also to Ossie who played a part in the map. :(

cruise photos are where now :(

Hey Tom...look at it as an opportunity to go with N1 h/lights and front bar ;)

yeah. lets see some happy time fotos

I have considered that actually. Luck I didn't get the front bar fixed and resprayed like I was going to do on Wednesday :( . I need to find out what Just Car will pay for first, not sure how easily their repairers can source a 32GTR front and rear bar and grille and headlights.

I guess its better to knock into each other then some stranger... at least u can trust the people will actually go to the insurance company and sought it out fast.

There are some dodgy poeple out there that will drag on the situation as long as possible to delay pay out of excess or watever...

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.

i think i was was cruisin near u guys for a while...low black 32 that was behind you for a bit b4 i got feed up..also purple s15 was near us????

Was a good cruise. Saw the little bingle in the city. Didn't look too good. Other than that, was a good cruise and a good map. Good work to all the organisers :(

Happy Photo's to the rescue :(

Ok... Real post time ;)

First of all, well done to everyone. Despite the small incident between the skylines we didn't have any issues. Considering the weather we all did really well. It sucks that the other guys did have a bif, but at least they're all OK :).

First leg was great, staying in a straight line was damn near impossible... I know I was slipping without the right pedal and poor old Marc couldn't turn a 90 degree corner but instead had to turn some 360 degrees :( Pity I missed it!!

Spearwood bypass was confusing as f**k but totally worth it... Brian, you win the award for "best U turn performed in traffic". You deserve it buddy and I think the guy in the ute would agree :(

Call of the day has to go for the Gateways stop when I certain S15 drove past and the call "anyone need a root?" was made.... ^5

f**ked off a lil early so I could make a home stop along the next leg koz shoes were pissing me off. Didn't have too much time to spare as it worked out so you lot mustn't have left too long after me. Met the front runners along brookton and lead them through to weir. The look on the guys face as Marc and I flew past was hilarious... Excellent little run and it's about time a cruise map used it :)

Blue VZ Commodore with Chev badges and stickers... Apparently a cop! Not that I knew when passing him the other way on weir at *insert speed*.... Hell I thought he was warning US about cops ahead when he was flashing his lights.... I was gonna give him the finger.... Probly best I didn't!

Zig zag... Dear Mr commodore driver and dog whore mrs. Please do not PARK DIRECTLY IN THE CENTRE OF THE f**kING ROAD!!!! To say I shat just a little would be a good description of what happened when I found them at *insert speed*, as did Nathan in his 33 behind me... Up until then I was having a good run tho, despite the spin (followed by some more spinning) at the first hairpin.

The back section was nice and cruisey, a quick high speed run down Roe then cruising with the traffic up until Ellen Stirling. NB: Don't clutch onto Ellen Stirling, there may Cops coming the other way....

Thanks all :D Was a tops day :D

Thanks to all who braved the rain and blistering cold winds to make it out to the cruise! Aside from a few small mishaps, I think it went pretty darn well! Hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

Will definately have to do something like this again soon! Until next time...

Cheers,

Brian

Nice one, something to be said for dodgey parking...interesting angles

Few random shots here, I was driving so didn't get a chance to take that many;

adoraa got the action shots - http://strich9.integratedx.com/index.php?fID=26

Cheers guys...Iz is famous :(

193k's round trip. Feel a bit second hand after it as well.

I had a good time, felt a bit like a third leg being new and all, without a navigator either, but was made to feel welcome.

Nice casual drive, tomorrow night I get to really clean the spiderwebs out. Hoping to crack into the 12's.

i think i was was cruisin near u guys for a while...low black 32 that was behind you for a bit b4 i got feed up..also purple s15 was near us????

Were you driving the black R32 with blue sparkles? Car looks good man!

Next time I need to meet more people, I dont know many of you guys off the forum. Guess I'm just too shy :(

Mr Keets, where you the GT-R who gave us directions in the city? Car looks good mate.

Good day out even though the weather wanted to be a bit of a pain to start off with, was good to catch up with soooo many people and check out some nice rides, skylines and sils.

Good to see everyone was fairly well behaved and there was only 1 incident on the first leg in the wet. Hope those people are all ok and their cars will be out and about asap.

Thanks to Brian and the SAU guys for organizing the cruise and Kerry for helping out with everything as always.

I asked politely why he was taking our licenses down, said somebody came through too fast so they found it just to take down everybody's name and license details. Which I have to say is a bit stupid, I'm pretty sure the speed of one car has no relation to any other car on the road just because they have the same stickers on the window. :S

Got a bunch of photo's I'll have to upload tomorrow. But it was an awesome cruise, with a damn good turn-out for a wet day.

Oh and GO ME for being the first photo in the thread! :(

EDIT: Oh I almost forgot, with the cop car. He seemed nice and everything was fine, but just before he said I could go he was like "Do you have anything in the car I should know about? *pokes head right inside my window* Like any drugs, alcohol or firearms!?" - "No" - "Are you sure!?" - "Yes" - "Ok, you can go." --- What the feck? Seriously, where did that come from?

    • 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?
