I think more people should have taken those free dvds. Im watching it at the moment, it's pretty good.

oh I'm glad they're good! I was hoping more people would have taken them, but I know that guys are a little shy about that kinda thing so oh wells.

whatever you say...... but I saw you giving me the eye :P :P

Hey, sorry for the late post...

I came home with Chris (pear) and raced home (not far from his house) to beat the storm. I got home, within 3 minutes we were hit with gail force winds and heavy rain. I have trees everywhere the whole estate is a mess, and about 30 seconds after it started we lost all power. The power didnt come back on til 4am the following morning. So we were without power for 12 or so hours. Hence no posts or photos etc...

Then I backed it up yesterday with a 16 hour work day, so I've just got home (with power now :D ) and Im currently processing all the photos (from RAW to Jpg). I should have most up this everning hopefully, and a little youtube clip of all the cars entering the paddock...

Stay tuned, give me an hour or two... :)

btw, what is that guy's name? I was only informed right at the very end after everyone had left that there was a guy from Kingaroy, I wanted to see if I knew him!!!

Kade, I was driving the R32 4Door with the car bra, my mate Jack won the raffle.We both looked the same colour as the car by the end of the the day(worth every fried skin cell).

Yeah I noticed the other thread in the main section for pics, so ill post them in there...

I wont do all of them as there is hundreds, just a summary of pics... About 50 should do...

The rest will be resized and put into a quick youtube clip...

and then the person at the entrance to the paddock taking pics?

Yeah that was me, Ill have pic's in the main "post your SCC pics and videos here" thread in a few hours...

Its taken 5 hours to process the images thus far and photobucket is quick slow to upload to as it resizes the images from 23mb to 1mb and theres like 50 photos to do...

As for all the cars coming into the paddock, ill resize them and put them into the youtube clip... As there was over 100 cars...

Also there are a few images and a quick write up going to HPI, I will let you know what issue to look out for...

Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado, I will make known to all that the 2008 SCC has made $1700 for our chosen charity, Men's Health.

I would sincerely like to thank our Sponsors, who donated prizes and consumables to make every dollar count towards our donation.

Bring on 2009 where I want to see 130+ Skylines at the final destination.

Anyone with ideas for the route and final destination, please forward them to me via PM.

Thanks to all who attended and behaved themselves.

That's awesome! Good work SauQld.

Another great day, planned and executed to perfection by our fantastic exec and events team.

Sure it was hot but who cares when your surrounded by cool people who will offer any help they can, like the guy who overheard me talking about the problem with my hicas (sorry i didnt catch your name) and took the time to walk through the hot sun and look into red hot engine bays just to show me a wire connector that may be causing me problems.

Its not just the execs huge amount of work that makes a good day, not that the considerable time and effort you guys put in doesnt help but its the friendship and Skyline community spirit that we all add that makes these events one of the best ways to spend a weekend that i can think of.

So thanks to everyone for a great day.

Hey guys, I've been away most of the week, so first chance to catch up after the cruise.

Big thanks to the Execs for your efforts!!!

Big thanks to other people that jumped in and helped out of the day!!!

Big thanks to the major sponsors, Chris (Audio Express) always comes up with great prizes for the raffle, Dan (Elite Racing Developments) for the 2nd prize AND HIRING THE SHOWGROUNGS for us.

I cooked a few more snags than planned. sorry for the delays to those that were kept waiting.

There was some great cars on display and the pics are looking good.

I see there is a few comments about holding the event in a cooler month. after standing near that bbq, I agree

Thanks to everyone for supporting the day!!

See you at the Drag Day on the 20th Dec.

Cheers

    • 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?
