any time mate.... wtf was with that road mang? 1 lane, up a hill and round a corner... srsly who builds a road like that? lol

Thanks again Wayne for an awesome cruise, you really went to quite a bit of effort to plan it all out and I'm sure everyone will agree that we had an awesome time!

The weather was awesome, not a drop in sight, and the drive back in particular was really fun. Those big, fast sweeping corners one after the next around Marysville were just spectacular and I started to remember again why I bought a Skyline... it's been way too long since I've been on a proper cruise :banana:

Sorry to whoever was behind me whenever I really put my foot into it, hope all those carbon fragments come out of your car - LOL. I need to attend to my coilpacks (again) and maybe get my tune checked.

Thanks Ash for all the awesome photos & coming shotgun with me too.

Was quite tired by the end of it, but can't wait for the next one!

Cheers mate

Glad you liked it.

I will do the same kind of thing for the Hanging Rock Cruise.

again thanks wayne i agree great cruise great day i didnt realise you lived in narre wayne so if you need a lift back next time for any reason you have another option cause im also in narre

it was such a good turnout i think because of the whole Email thing i wouldnt have known about it if i didnt check my

email's everyday

put me down for the hanging rock cruise too

Also :) who are the boys who got me in trouble with my mechanic Rob at sabbadin? lol

aparently everyone was telling him that i was giving it hell???

i didnt even rev my car above 5000 cause it wasnt tuned completely yet

i may have taken corner's fast but thats what sports cars are for right?

but anyway there is some video footage im told so id like too see it

Pm me with the clip dude i wanna see or even txt it via phone too me :P

Keep the pics coming so i have plenty to dream about. Twisty roads, white backdrop, magic!!!

The saving grace the (lucky?) few of us got with the detour. It was great for me, I hadn't seen snow since 2000 or so. I think the only snow everybody else would have seen was on the side of the road toward the end of the Reefton.

Was a nice day overall though, thanks for making it happen Wayne and everybody else.

Excellent cruise Wayne.

Sorry to hear about the 180sx and the 2 skylines, I was a little behind you so I didn't see it but saw when you were pulled over, and heard it on the CB. The damage didn't look too bad but didn't get a good look.

Looking forward to the next one, hopefully I'll try and meet some more people next time :D

    • 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?
