– Charity Donation Has Now Been Submitted

A gold-coin donation was all that we asked for; which meant that $256.00 was gratefully accepted by the McGrath Foundation. A big thanks to everyone who attended and helped contribute to this cause.

The three ladies below expressed "thank-you" five times for your help guys and girls. They even photocopied some R34 GT-R pics for themselves!

Not all newsagents will be stocking MOTIVE DVD #3 as a sale item.

As you make your own enquiries about whether they'll have this DVD on sale 23rd September featuring This R34 GT-r & GT-T & GT Extravaganza can you please list up Which Newsagents Will Stock This? :P

Keep an eye on the large franchised Newso's they'll have it. :P

OK!

Exactly 1 month to go!

Motive DVD #3

All stemming from Eugene's idea that was hatched in March & took 6 weeks and 6 guys to organise. :(

Tez, FYI current issue of Performance Imports magazine (Issue 111) says on last page that SAU charity cruise is in the next issue (112) due out 18th Sept. Would this be the R34 Anniversary cruise?? or another charity cruise held earlier??

Yeah Nick I thought it may be referring to another cruise as my car is featured in issue 113 and there is a reference in the article on my car to stay tuned for coverage on the R34 cruise so I thought it would be in an issue after 113. Jason may have brought the cruise article forward??

Can't wait to see your car as the Centrepiece of Issue #113 Che!

Congrats from me and the other organisers mate.

The Pic of the 2 Japanese Swordsmen giving your car 'The Guard Of Honour' will be a hoot.

And I haven't seen a whiff yet, of the lady in Japanese dress...

MOTIV #3 DVD :D

Out now in the newsagents!

(Sold out at Faulconbridge)

More than 6 minutes of mayhem!

Where were you when I needed you Eugene?

Glad to see SAU Forums being promoted by Andrew Hawkins. :)

Andrew likes to promote anything and everything in the Australian tuners scene. He lives and breathes the industry.

Haven't watched all the footage yet (will finish it tonight) but from what i've seen, so far it is incredible footage!

Thankyou once again to Andrew for agreeing to cover the event!

Che, issue #113 of Performance Imports should be out very shortly, if it's not already (I received mine in the mail yesterday), and your car looks great!!!

    • 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?
