If the BBQ part of this was a little earlier and bit closer to town I'd like to actually make the BBQ part and catch up with people.

I got a lot of stone chips the last time I was on a Skyline cruise out that way and TBH I prefer to do it on my own when there aint so many cars.

Well that's just an idea pulled from the other thread.... if people would prefer to do something else I'm happy to change it :) I just thought ppl would prefer a bit of a "drive" rather than spending most of the time at a bbq area..

You kinda need brakes, they really help with the stopping thing....

What happend? I remember your car, it was smick as.

cheers oscar. it aint so smick now! throw in some track/skidpan days and a lack of money and it slowly goes downhill from there. as for the brakes, a seal in the reservoir decided it didn't like the heat and was slowly leaking every time i stood on the skids until it ran out of expensive brake fluid! lucky it didn't start happening until after the trackday a couple of weeks ago!

C you all there tommorow ... im now going outside to wash my car ... it is freakishly filthy ...

Turned from Dark charcoal black color to a very dirty brown .... not good ... and my wheels usually shine but not lately ...

been about 4 months since it's last wash .... ewwwww

Was a good day out ... awesome fun through the twisty stuff even tho my car is non turbo with a near standard restricted exhaust I still had fun ...

Took a few pics but will do a bit of editing of plates and stuff before posting them up ...

Was alot of fun, I did about 180 kilometers and used a quater of a tank by the time I got home. there were a good number of cars, maybe a could more would have been better. And that icecream truck was totally random.

James "I want an icecream"

Someone "Too bad the pub burnt down"

*Icecream truck music in distance*

Me "WTF!! Icecream trucks still exist?!?!?!"

Only two low points of the day:

1) no one bought utensils for the BBQ so we had to make tongs and spatulas out of cardboard (im looking at shell the "organiser" :down:) actually it wasnt really a low point, it was kind of funny watching everyone (including me) burning their fingers on the BBQ

2) and the stupid corolla with frangipanies that got in front of ZCR when we left the Cotter.. i got held up for aaaaaaggggggeeeeeeessssssssss and had to go through the tight twistie bits slowly :( but i caught up once i turned the boost up... 14psi ftmfw!! :) and apparently there was a stupid biker, but i was lagging behind at that stage.

highlight of the day.. overtaking the stupid frangapanie corolla in a cutting in 3rd on 14psi, fk 1Js sound good on full song.. also the mad flutters :P

does anyone else have a drivers tan? (right arm only)

(im looking at shell the "organiser" :D)

what part of "BYO" don't you ppl understand? :D :D

It wasn't so bad anyway, someone rustled up some newspaper to clean with and it was pretty easy to flip the sausages. But you're right, was funny :D

There was 2 stupid bikers going super slow which we got stuck behind for a bit, and then another stupid one who flew past us all and the slow bikers at stupid speed. PMSL when he got the pinky finger by the car in front of me :P

My car has been running like total crap lately underpowered and sluggish and after that cruise and getting to open it's lungs a fair bit through the twisty stuff

it now runs a million times better ...

    • 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?
