toddy toddy toddy, come next year the GTR will be rebuilt and your car will still be packing a RB20...then what will you have? And dont say you are better looking because last night your mum told me i was MUCH better looking than you :)

maybe a stupid question?

but are people allowed to come along to spectate? and if so then is there a gate charge?

keen to come along smell some fumes and rupture and ear drum :)

Also if you can convince a driver, who has no passenger to let you go through the gates with them entry is free because the cost of the day admits one driver and one passenger

I dont think there will be any official meet to cruise out there together but by all means if thats what you want to do feel free to organise one that suits you

I am a newbie and am yet to get my hands on a Skyline yet I would be keen to cruise to willow with others... as long as you accept my Toyota Celsior...I'll hang out that back so I don't cramp your style, hehe - I'm on the North Side (ASPLEY)

Woah! Didnt know that Andy. Thanks for the info. Now the Wify can go for free. Hahaha

Few questions...

Where can I buy a cheap helmet as last year they told me the one I used would not meet the requirements after the new year.

Does the money have to be paid before hand, or can I pay on the day?

And can someone explain to me how to launch properly please? As last year I went my car was an automatic and now I have recently done a manual converion.

Thanks.

Arghh, you got me there :D

Are you all cruising there together? Or just meet out there?

I will be at the gate from 1.30pm or slightly before, there will be paperwork for everyone to sign.

I got mine from Revolution Racegear down here on the Coast. Try a motorbike bike shop otherwise as this piece of safety equipment(helmet) is required for anything motorsport :)

Paid be4 is good, on day can happen in emergency cases by prior arrangement. :D

Stage at lights,

let clutch pedal out slightly as to take up the slack be4 engagement point but not to go-yet,

wait for lights to start falling-anticipate green light if you can

let clutch out in what eva manner you wish that feels safe enough(ur car & u pay to fix it otherwise) & go :P

Paul that would be awesome if you could bring your car out! Would beat watching Todd smash out 167 17 second passes anyway :P

its my birthday the day before and i have planned to fly home for it...ill chat to Stace this weekend and see if she will let me fly back the next day to race (its my birthday weekend so im sure ill be able to swing it).

put me down as a tentative and ill confirm on Monday

Brandon the sweet spot for street tyres in a GTR road car is bang on 7K...any less and you will look silly.

Paul, Awesome :D

Brandon, I pretty much dumped mine though im sure releasing it as fast as possible with out sending a massive jolt through the drivetrain would make for less wheelspin, then again the AWD kinda takes care of that for you so easiest is to go the less technical route (like I did) and just dump it lol

Hope the clutch will survive its first 7k launch with me. The last thing I want its for it to shit itself on my first launch since getting the car. I suppose if the clutch bites really well and no sign of wearing will mean its still in pretty good shape.

    • 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?
