This year marks the 10th anniversary inception of the mighty R34 GT-R since January, 1999. So what better way to celebrate this milestone than to organise the first ever R34 10th Anniversary Charity Cruise n Show n Shine at Mount Wilson, NSW. Just up the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.

All R34 GT-R's, GT-T's and GT-V owners are welcome to participate and we are making this event as fun and memorable as possible for everyone.

Firstly, High Performance Imports have graciously offered to attend our Event and take Photographs and a story for a future issue in the magazine.

Secondly, we have organised an Aikido group to attend the day as well. Sensei Sagiba has kindly offered his Aikido Dojo Members to attend and for them to bring along weaponry to help make photos of your cars more dramatic. We can ask them to do a demonstration with katas etc if they're willing to, as well.

On top of all the above, we will also host a Show n Shine event with prizes awarded to the following categories.

- Best engine bay

- Best interior

- Best looking wheels

- Best exterior/paintwork

- Best GT-R

- Best GT-T

- Best overall car on the day

Representative of HPI will present those prizes with the likelihood of some pics being taken for the major categories.

And there's more...! If you'd like a balance between Yin and Yang, there'll be a lady (not in a bikini but) very dignified in her Kimono. So you choose as to whether you'd like a shot of her on one side and the martial artist on the other - or two martial artists posing with your car and you, the driver.

And to keep the Boys in Blue off our backs, we ask all participants to donate a coin to our nominated charity, Deep Blue. Deep Blue is a registered charity that is currently doing research on different types of depression and suicide.

And dont forget to bring your cameras too because the autumn colours will be at their peak if there's not too much rain before then. Further info will be supplied in due course with regards to food.

Remember, this Event will be an invitation for all R34 owners nationwide to attend. So ask your mates in other states to come and billet them. We will do our best to find motels with shallow gutters and secure (enough) parking for your precious gems.

The details of the cruise as follows.

Meet at P6 at Homebush Bay at 9-9.30am April 26 in order to leave at 10 SHARP

The convoy will set off west along Hill Rd > Parramatta Rd > James Ruse Dr > Briens Rd > Old Windsor Rd

> merging with Windsor Rd at Kellyville Ridge > ByPass Rd to connect with > Richmond Rd/Windsor St

> left into Market St (otherwise there's vicious speed humps in town) > right into March St/Kurrajong Rd

> across Hawkesury R. and Bells Line Of Road > turn right into Mt Wilson after 55Km from the River.

There's ONE fixed speed camera after Kurmond and there'll be ONE organiser at the front of the GT-R group and ONE near the end. There'll be ONE organiser at the front of the GT-T group and ONE near the end as well.

Please Note: that it's your responsibility to drive safely & it's your responsibility to check this thread in that, if there's inclement weather and the Photoshoot is called off, this Event will be delayed exactly ONE week (with same times).

The highlights of this Event are...the atmosphere of this glorious spot, the drama of martial artists presenting your car at its best, the Japanese theme with a Kimono clad lady, the cruise itself, the presence of a major motoring magazine to do our story, and of course the prizes to be won and then presented by High Performance Imports staff.

All interstate owners who are interested to attend, would you please register your intention in the NSW Events thread located here

For further details, PM mxfly (head organiser) or Terry_GT-R34 (co-host)

I don't expect you read the whole thing, only reason I did was because I am entertaining the idea of going up there but "Remember, this Event will be an invitation for all R34 owners nationwide to attend.

Why is this posted in the Victoria Section when it is hosted in NSW?

You want Victorians to drive all the way up to NSW to join the cruise..?

Thanks mxfly :D

That's correct. We are extending our invitation to everyone around the country, including ppl in Tassie (although I doubt there will be much interest from that state).

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?
