Although this meet is suggested to be Heathcote, is there any point meeting up there if there aren't going to be a significant number of people running?

I won't be able to confirm that I'm running until late Thurs or Fri that I'm running and besides that, noone else has shown interest in heading up this weekend.

It is a long way to go to meet up with people if no one is going to run.

It maybe a good idea still to have the meet closer to Melb or postpone the meet for 1 wk and have it on the 9/11.

well, me and my mate are going to heathcote if the weather is at all looking decent, as it might be my last chance to give my car a run there.

If not club meet i will be..

although:

Trend for Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Rain then showers. Cool.

and people are wondering why i want to move out of melbourne!

Weather for the weekend isn't looking very promising. Heathcote is a fun day out, but a bit far for people just keen in attending a meeting.

So... we have 2-options:

Postpone the meeting for a week so that Heathcote competitors are able to attend, or have it on the Saturday (1st Nov) to ccoincide with AKTs go-cart event.

What do people think?

I was thinking Saturday 8th November for a cruise/meeting to Emerald Lake (in Emerald) - is nice drive, you can see Puffing Billy, and hopefully the weather shall improve. Thoughts?

Saturday is better i think. Better check that go-kart thread :rolleyes:

Emerald is a good idea for a cruise , it will be a fairly sedate one due to weekend traffic though. Its nice up there. I used to live near belgrave.. except i think the billys they were puffing were of a different type :)

I would really like to come along but I will be in Tasmania with my family for 5 days, and my 'line is getting a new single pice 3 inch SS exhaust over the long weekend.

I am really interested and will make every effort to come to the next one so please keep me posted.

Thanks

Well some thoughts from a newbie, what is actually the aim of a "club meet" I take it it's establish some form of a Vic club? If so, who's going to run it etc, someone will need to take the lead etc etc. Anyone done anything similar? is there someone from the site or tune shop or something etc etc? Think it would be worth sorting a few things out before everyone just rocks up.

That aside a cruz to emrald sounds good to me, nice drive. could meet at sky high then to emrald. If the track day at the Island is on Saturday, how about sunday. Also, how many are actually going to the isl? I thought it was a HSV day or something anyway...?

iNCOGNiTO we have had some "higher power" meetings in the past to get the bases on what to incorporate in an open meet such as this (sounds like i know what im saying eh? ;)) so rest assured there would be a "game plan" set out for this.

and on that note i am busy this month, every day and weekend :)

Sounds good to me.

Un-sure if i can make it, but if i can... i WILL be there :)

And iNCOGNiTO, as Dox said.

There is a game plan... quite well done too for a few average skyline owners ;)

    • 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?
