What a day

The weather was really good to us from a start. You could not of asked for better

And a turn out of 29 cars was great for a winter's Sunday

Let me start by thanking Al for leading and letting me ride shotgun.. :P mate

We kicked of the morning from Sandown and headed up through some nice twistie

roads up through Reefton up in to Marysville. And if it was not strange enough driving

through burnt out forests seeing snow everywhere just topped it.

I hope people got heaps of photo's

Then we headed home through the Black Spur and the Dandenongs

I hope you all enjoyed the day and hope that some of the small dramas we had through

the day wont stop you from enjoying the next one..

And it was great to see a lot of new faces at this one..Thanks guys

And finally thanks to Danielle fror dropping me off at home...

So keep your eyes open for the Hanging Rock Cruise.. ( Comming soon to a car club near you )

sounds like it was a good cruise. im pissed off that i missed it, but im definately up for hanging rock, im about 30 mins away from there.

Hey all

Asian Guy here (not JamesK)

Awesome day today- Wanye-O - thank you for yet again organising a fantastic club cruise with well planned and well thought out routes :)

Hamish - cheers for lettin me ride Shotgun and also for letting me drive a couple times - your car is 10% pure, 90% awesomeness. That Jeep on the Dandenongs didn't know what hit it! lol

JamesK- CB radio was v.handy - cheers for that and good to see you again mate :banana:

ItliaZR and Omega 36 - i got the accident photos loaded onto my computer so if you guys shoot me your emails in a PM i will send the photos off to you.

Marysville, such a sad sight to behold, but great to see the number of folks still visiting and doing their part with donations, tourism etc. I'm very proud that we, SAU-VIC, contributed to the re-building of Marysville, especially, Al, Shan, Hamish and the many other ppl that bought raffle tickets and dropped plenty of donations in the donations tins.

That is something that i will take away with me today - that SAU-Vic is more than just a bunch of hoons and wanna be racers. (AHEM 180sx)

BTW - that 180sx was an IDIOT, i feel for ya Omega36 your car was so clean and tidy and now it looks unhappy from the front :P

Was an awesome day and a great experience,

I look forward to seeing all at the next cruise:)

    • 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?
