already explained VY SS sedan, he flicks it out turning left, then swings out again straight into one of those huge light posts. whole thing rocked thought it was gonna fall at first. front of the car was M.I.A. the bloke seemed alright he was walkin around, airbag didnt go off, tow truck was there in under 2mins.

was good cruise for the parts i was there.

pics? story from ppl there?

Lol, i saw him do it, he came out sideways (grandma in front seat of course) oversteered right, and took foot of accelerator, car got traction and threw him in Pole, Airbag didnt deploy either haha. Made my night :D

Good Cruise Btw, for a first time, seemed pretty well planned most of the way, minus the parts were you wrote LEFT as RIGHT etc etc :P

Pole = 1, Commonwhore = 0

Besides the few scratches, that pole took like no damage looking from the pics...

EDIT: Can't say the same thing about the car though... :P

hahaha oh the best cruise ive been on in a long time haha, and yeah of course that guy had it comin in his ss, he's bout a foot an a half shorter than anyone else an his seat was all the way back so he would have had about 1/3 of the required vision an too much arm length needed to grab the wheel so there was almost nothin he coulda done

Ups to you mel for a delightful cruise, nice an lengthy with a variety of scenic stops, cant wait for the next!

lol @ the pLEBBO

I watched the whole thing and it was like it was in slowmotion.. I already had the "DIIIIIIIIIIICKHEEEEEAD" call going before he actually it the pole lol

Saw a few ppl I recognised but had to bail instead of going on the actual cruise (didn't want to push my luck in a car I'd only had for a few hours that handles a LOT differently to my 32 heh)

    • 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?
