Hells yes, im always keen for a good dandy night!!! How about tonight anyone up for a good mountian fang? My breaks are warped shitless so i aint as fast as i use to be, but my GF wants to do something tonight i was kinda thinking of dandy bashing... anyone for for it gimmie a sms on 0422017404... cant be too late, 1-2 ish work tomorrow morning!!

Let me know anyway, live in wheelers hill 10-15mins from the base of the beast, if we go to the Burwood highway entrance side!

well this is what i was trying to avoid because i'm not looking to 'fang it' up the hill, just head for a nice leisurely drive. i suggest being carefull sasying things like that as we are trying to avoid reasons for the boys in blue and the general public thinking we are all hoons racing around the street.

..and thats pretty much exactly what you dont want to post on a public forum.

I go up Mt Dandenong through burwood highway, up sassasfras, turn into mountain highway and go back down to boronia about once a week.

An alternative drive would be from warrandyte to kinglake, also a nice relaxing drive that takes around 1 hour or so.

Thing about these roads is that you don't have to be breaking any laws or hooning to have a little fun. Keeping to the speed limits, you can have a nice drive that still lets you appreciate teh dynamics of your vehicle and be safe to all other drivers around you.

I wouldn't mind a small cruise of around 5 cars of good sensible ppl, but large cruises i've been on in the past have inevitably ended in red and blue lights

No no.. no hooning :P

Anyway, the speed limit is fine, its just frustrating when u get f**kers doing 20-40km round some of the corners that refuse to pull over... and ur stuck behind them because its death up there to overtake.

>.< hoon or no hoon its a good drive lol

Anyway even driving up there arround 3-4k revs still makes a shit ton of noise and the folks are going to think ur hooning either way...

MEH!!!

Good luck going for ur drives anyway be safe, god knows im still alive and kicking.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?
