It was nice to finally spend a weekend not doing house reno's! It was also great to catch up with some familiar faces and meet some new ones. My apologies if I didn't manage to match the face, name, and forum name, or I have forgotten to mention you below.

Thanks to the all that put in the time and effort to organise the SAU entry, well done. I can see SAU becoming a regular EH entrant and in time possibly taking out a club award.

Well done to Ryan and his better half, and Luke, for the trophy winning efforts, and Chad, Damo, and Anthony for your efforts on the dyno. Chad, you might not have reached the lofty heights set by Alex’s VLT (near enough to 580rwkw on Sunday) by there is nothing wrong with over 300 on a very warm day! That Meguiar’s detailer stuff works well mate, look at how glossy your beast is in Troy’s photo.

Dion, good to meet you, and all the best with the repairs mate.

Pete, thanks for the input over the weekend, I owe you big time mate! You will please to know that not only did Jodi win a bunch of trophies for her outstanding XU1 but she then proceeded to drive the car home from the show – she also gave me thumbs up whilst cruising alongside for the first part of the journey.

Ruby, keep the change mate, just add it to the club coffers.

Dave, Damo is on the money, basic details are in my sig'.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys, much appreciated.

you're welcome buddy boy......thanks for hanging around most of the weekend and answering alot of the public's questions.....you were a much deserved winner IMHO

No problem at all. Thanks mate.

Matt, at one stage did you have "dyno: is a great diagnoctic tool" in your sig? :P or am i thinking of someone else.

I did indeed mate. I've changed my sig (last year from memory) but I still view the dyno as another tool for working on and improving one's car... it just happens to double as a bit of fun :)

Chad, 300.6 is still over 300 :)

I only just made it to 300

I wouldnt be worried with that

your power curve is extremely linear and only tapers out on the top end - excellent power vs response... perfect ratio for your trackwork and daily, would make an excellent street car (i'm pretty much aiming for that, but maybe to tweak it a little more to the left at the expense of top end power)

what did you get from the dyno dynamics set?

-D

lol chad, you seem dissappointed to have ONLY 300 at the treads?

fkn wish i had the chance to drive a 300kw 4wd animal.....

trust6 looks like a weapon! that engine bay omg... noice

366 rwkw? :P whats traction? haha

good work people, nice line up.

    • 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?
