I had an awesome day. Thanks to the cool weather i was able to run 18psi all day and it didn't miss a beat :) Would of been good if there was a few skylines in my group, the non cams group had a crazy amount of cars in it, would have been hard to get a fast full lap. Think i might get a rear muffler put on before i go out again, although i did love the sound of the 26 with just a 3inch pipe :(

yeah the r8 copped it bad,

not overly sorry, he was being a knob on the track as well as the blue xr5 focus... pushing in through the inside on corners, i copped a bit of grass on the first hairpin thanks to him otherwise could have made contact.

at the end of the day was running mid - low 1.30's which im quite happy with having only approx 180-190kw and auto. definitely looking forward to the next one :(

hey dale what oil temps are safe.. i fear i may have boiled mine while out there... last session of the day i went out i went hammer and tongs and exceeded 135-140 deg it lost a shit load of power so i took it real easy. checked oil it seems ok but definatly going to change it

lol, yeah that's a bit hot ideally you don't want to go much hotter than 120 max and you really want it to be sitting around the 100 mark. I would be replacing it asap if i was you. But if it is any concellation that's the same temps that Andrew is getting with his, and it's something he'll be sorting out when he gets back. i have some ideas on how to fix it and the THRUST turbos wouldn;t be helping things being oil cooled but we'll wait and see what we can figure out with his. That's a good thing with the modern reg' the sessions are only 5 or 6 hot laps long so you can push as hard as you can and just as your temp are getting too hight the sessions finished.

Hey guys great day anybody have any footage

unfortunately blew my turbo spat a bearing (ouch)

thanks to all the guys that drove really well on the day and no thanks to the blue cars we all know about

thanks to "banned" we had fun chasing each other around the track.

hopefully fix turbo soon so i can get back out there for august 1st

You were the only one pushing into the braking zone into turn 1, Seems those brakes did work well.

Pity there were so many moving chicanes out there, you and Ryan would have put down some decent times, although track did seem slow!!

Was funny as seeing my mate in his Saloon Car(AU Falcon) no respect for turn 1 at all...... :P

Yeah the blue commodore was driving very loose, he spun a couple times already before the crash so he really should have eased up a little especially when coming onto the straight towards a cement wall etc. Was great weather out there thankfully! Was good to meet a couple more guys from the forums especially "omsin" who I had fun chasing! I think my best time for the day was 1:23 on the new kuhmo KU36 (actually held up quite well).

Ryan

Your GTR is "BANNED" yeah? One of the quicker cars in the sessions!

I got a few pics and vids, but no laptop. Ill get them up as soon as i can.

    • 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. 
    • 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?
