Hey all

I work on Sydney road itself and thanks to the glass frontage of where i work i get to see a fair amount of traffic. Two things really annoy me, drivers who do u-turns and drivers not stopping for trams at their stops. I have witnessed so many accidents which could have been avoided by just "common sense"

Who in their rightful mind would do a u-turn on one of the busiest strips risk causing accidents and getting t-boned by trams. Not to mention traffic jams and possible loss of lives.

Apparently its illegal to u-turn on sydney road itself. But this is heresay and im not sure exactly if such laws exists.

Anyway, has anyone else here had bad experiences or know of the law?

I had a tool the other week (pajero) idicated left infront of me, moved into the parking lane on the verge then simultaniously dropped right hand down and indicated, u-turning right across my bumper. Luckily I stopped-swerved in time, after informing the tool in the bluntest of ways pulling a u-turn across oncoming traffic is not a good idea he still insisted what he did was "all good".

Frigging ignorant-arrogant dangerous dumb asses.

Makes me want to punch faces n shit....Aarrrgh

people driving like there zombies.

approaching a right hand turning lane with a car infront doing 60kph in a 70's zone.

get to the point where i can slip into the right hand turning lane, idicated like 20meters prior as always :/

in the lane level with this dudes back door as i assumed he was going straight cause he stayed in the straight lane and with out idication or warning starts to pull into my lane.

im on the horn at the first sign of him over the lane, next thing im on the wrong side of the road lucky they had a red light !! or else head on.

gave the guy a few choice words at 6.03am in the morning and a few hand signals. took him anothing minute after coming to a complete stop at the red arrow, then decided to put his indicator on.

full of rage now ! got to work 5mins later, no sugar for my bloody coffee !! GREAT DAY TO ME ! ...... -end rant :)

    • 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?
