Laughed at? Nooooo...variety is the spice of life! :)

By the way, thanks for the invite Kamil!!!

No worries, will be good to get the VQ-franternity a little closer together.

I'll be there, perfect time for me actually, any earlier and it would be difficult. It helps that it is around the corner from home :D

Any other V coming??? Or am I left to represent us all??? That's a lot of pressure, we are a good bunch!!!

Hey guys,

The meet was great, but not many of us there. There were 4 350Z's one Lotus Elise and my V.

I have some pics that the missus got someone to take of her with all the cars, hahahaha I'll post them up soon.

It was good to meet some of the 350Z guys, they were a bunch of good people. Kamil's black 350 is really nice!

Also the place, Garage Cafe, was all that I was expecting it to be, never being there before. Nice food and very reasonably priced. As usual I got quizzed by some of the other crowd there, "what car is that????" "Oh yeah, I thought it looked like a Nissan but I wasn't sure!!!" The V got the most attention there hahahaha.

The owner of Garage Cafe was really nice too, having only just met me an hour or so earlier, he let me sit in his white S5 Audi and perv on it inside out, engine, etc. Gorgeous car. However I was very surprised when he told me that from factory, the S5 (V8) makes out around 160kw on all four wheels. I told him I dynoed mine and it put out 169.9rwkw with no mods, but of course, his Audi is 4 wheel drive.

All in all, a good chance to relax for a couple of hours during a week night.

Thanks Kamil.....as I mentioned to you on Wednesday night you (and the rest of the guys) are welcome to attend our V35 meet on the 5th of December.

There is a thread about it here in the forum!!!

    • 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?
