lol i love how angry that little girl from the ford cruise got at me....

for those who werent there:

we ran into a ford cruise at the 12 apostles car park and as we were taking photo's of our cars the ford people walked through and cracked a little comment about the "real cars" being over there... all in fun... so i started to look over the top of the fords and say "where? i cant see anything but taxi's over there" and the older ones laughed and went about their day.... BUT the daughter... say 10 or 12 years old fuly screamed at me, saying "WELL YOU MUST BE BLIND THEN!!!" and stormed away.... ROFL

i wonder why there is an anti jap car stigma in aust.... its bloody ingrained from BIRTH

he made a circuitboard and installed an illminated Skyline garnish on the bootlid of his car - except he stuffed something up and instead of all the letters changing colours at the same time they would start going beserk after a few seconds, leaving a nice Gay Pride advertisment on the rear of his car lol....

ahh...you had to be there to see it it was quite funny

Picorban :laughing-smiley-014:

James - yes mate, we love you, but GODDAM THAT SHIT STILL FUNNY TODAY!!!

I can't beleive the rainbow pic came out too LOL how appropriate!

I wish i was next to ya when that little girl pwned you Hamish....ahhh the laughs.....lol

the whole point of the GOR was to enjoy the roads (not hooning but enjoying). many of those who was there did not drive 2 hours to one of the most awesome road in victoria to crawl at 20kmph so there was a few cars who would slow down to make a decent gap to have a decent run. if ppl were annoyed by that 90% of the cars there had a CB radio or a simple flick of the headlights to get them out of the way is all that was needed to be done.

i didn't have a CB radio so i didnt know what u guys were talking about. But myabe overtaking the slower cars to get to the wide, open stretch of road in front would have made for more fun than slowing and speeding up again?

Doesn't matter mate, i know you just wanted to have a fang...i was just getting slightly annoyed behind you hence the crazy 5 car overtaking procedure.

but all good from the looks of it everyone had alot of fun :nyaanyaa:

True true. I know of a few guys doing the whole slow down to create a gap thing. It wasn't a problem if you got a chance to overtake them :(

The white R34 GTT doing it wasn't me! :nyaanyaa:

ye nah it was me. only pperson that seemed to mind was you Phantom but o well. i wasnt gonna waste the drive to crawl and i was not willing to or had the balls overtake all those cars like you did. your crazy 5 car overtaking procedure made me slide to the edge of my seat hoping theres no cars coming the other way

yeah i'll definintely have to get CB's for the next cruise

All good Ashneel, i know u just wanted to have some fun cos those mofo's were hella slow in . The overtaking mighta lookd nuts but i could see further up the mountain and made sure there were no cars coming for awhile. No way i would've done that completely blind that would just be looking for disaster! lol

All sorted :nyaanyaa:

    • 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?
