Hello All.

I received a phone call today from Neil. Obviously he wanted to comment on the horrid accident that happened on the weekend.

He has read the threads in regards the wrx /skyline crash, and wanted to have a friendly chat on the impact it's had on the car scene.

Understandably, there has been talk about police now targeting wrx and skylines, and from one thread in particular, thoughts that they will now pull over every single skyline / wrx they see. Neil would like to make clear that this is not the case.

Neil and his team do not want this to turn into an "excuse" to target high performance vehicles who ARE NOT breaking the law. however, Hooning / speeding will be dealt with accordingly.

A word of advice from Neil, if for any reason, any news reporting programmes such as today tonight or acurrent affair approach any club members and want to talk about what happened and what kind of club we are, he advises not to. As they will only twist our words to make us look irresponsible and like hoons.

Also, if there will be any planned cruises to raise money or to support the families effected by this accident, then Neil would like to be notified so he can help us organise a smooth cruise route to help keep the cruise together. if notified Neil will provide any assistance he is able to.

thanks Guys

Nene

Spot on Nene, SAPOL will indeed leave you alone if you are not breaking the law, which includes HOONING/SPEEDING and DRIVING AN ILLEGALLY MODIFIED VEHICLE.....maybe he just forgot that bit, but its pertinent when it applies to probably 80% of the members here :)

umm do we know you martin? i havnt meet you on a cruise before i dont think

Correct, and you won't meet me on a cruise....and although we have some nice Skylines/GTRs thats exactly my point.

However I have been a member here since 2002 and been an active drag racer most of the time. Go figure :)

Just like to thank Neil for putting my mind to rest a bit. I've been stressing thanks to the situation over the weekend that I would just get pulled over at any chance the police get. Many of you don't drive your skylines/stag's everyday but I do and the thought of having to go through the trouble of being pulled over, defected, regency then repeat continually is to much of a costly exercise for me.

But a warning to most. Even if you're car isn't 'heavily modified' speeding and being an idiot on the road isn't going to help any of us and just because you don't see any marked police cars around doesn't mean there isn't one in the car next to you.

Don't be stupid, don't f**k it for everyone else.

Thankyou Neil again for clearing it all up.

+1 for Neil's message. Tho tbh I'm not worried as my car is virtually undefectable (yes I know there are ignorant people out there would would happily slap a canary on me but I've never had any trouble in the past... that and I'm much more rotund than most of you, police know me and my car are built for comfort and not speed :)

-D

Edit : Not having a go at you nene, but I love it how someone dies and it becomes a tragedy *sigh*... just like the newspaper "STOP THE CARNAGE" - have these people ever been to Iraq ?

Josef Stalin - "One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic"

good stuff neil.

He is right, the news cant report anything right around here..lol sports maybe not real news.

plus it would be in bad light not to include a police officer rep to support our cause , we dont condone stupid activities

and the peer pressure here tries to reduce it by doing the right thing, not a rebel late night racing, 2f 2f style

road closed pizza boy

dont drive like a moron , enuf said

sad thing is theyre more preoccupied with britney and other b grade celebrities than reporting real world events that have any relevance

makes me feel sorry for the sapol media liasons getting their words twisted or blown out of proportion... politicians feed on that stuff like vultures to a land mine victim

-D

I too want to thank Nene and Neil for the communication and understanding they have kept up. Thanks guys. It's really going to make a difference for everyone if this keeps up.

+1 for Nene and Neil. We need the lines of communication open at times like this. :)

-10 to Martin. :) "Active" member since 2002 with 350 odd posts? I've only ever seen your posts going off-topic, like even now. Never seen you on a cruise. Never seen you at any fund raiser. Never seen you at any SAU event at all. Thats not active, thats being asleep. Which is your attitude right now towards trying to establish a relationship with SAPOL. Wake up! ... contribute positively, or go away and don't come back. :)

No, he doesn't need too. He's been in the 'game' for ages. He knows SAPOL like the back of his hand.

    • 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?
