Great cruise guys. I ended up coming. Had electrical issues not the battery. Got it sorted and made it in the nick of time!

I was the late one lol.

Did anyone see rescue and ambulance vehicles go past?

Three ambo's went flying up the hill past me.

Just got home from a 200-plus km drive home and it was worth every hour on the road today. All the cars looked awesome and there were some real stand-outs. Well done to all the winners and everyone who made the effort to attend.

You yourself Adrian were a great help in organising the Best Aspects of Photoshooting!

All to maximise the potential of each car and under a theme for the day that was Japanese!

Many Thanks to Kyoshi Hans Fricke and Sensei Dave who delivered a performance that emphasised THE EDGE of THE CAR via the EDGE OF THE SWORD! Many thanks to all those at www.japaneseswordsmanship.com.au for doing something for all of us SAUers and then some...

FOR THE LOVE OF IT!

Many Thanks to Yuka-san who even came out in the wind with her 5 month old child for the occasion and help our Japanese Supercars look their best. She used to be employed by WORK Wheels in Japan. Yes she's acquainted with what our cars can do!

Many Thanks to Roger from HPI who was very happy with the shots he took. And Thanks to Jason who's been so prompt with E-Mails and keen to grab a classic story!

Many Thanks to Andrew from MotivDVD who went to as much trouble as Roger to bring out the best of the R34s and all other Beast-owners.

Great cruise, kudos to Terry and the rest of the organizers! Top effort indeed.

Also good to meet some new people and see some of the rarer machines of NSW out on show.

Finally, my car thanks the organizers for the longest trip it had done since the new motor was completed. Close to 300kms!

    • 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?
