oh, and I've just made the choice. fark watching at spa. I'd rather fang something around the 'ring instead. I may even forget going to the monza gp too and use the money for another day of ring and then just watch it in a bar in italy somewhere.

very excited about doing the ring. just need to decide what to drive?

Count forward 12 weeks from mid April, i am a free agent after that and will already be in India so only 7 hours from Germany ! I have the first two weeks of June off to go to Zolder (driving) and then have to go back to work in India after that. SO i am with you. GPs are going to suck this year unless Webber starts winning...then they are all ace. Get your ass to Europe adn we can share some Caterham, Exige and E46 CSL love at the ring, Spa and Zandfort. OH YEH!!!!!!! i love it when work changes and farks your plans for the year, but you roll with the blows and they turn out to be blessings! :P

I'm in dude! pretty much any time in september is on for me. :banana: will be in europe (italy mostly) for 3 weeks of sep. time for some ring action.

first one to bin any car we share buys the beers....

He has a team mate with identical equipment remember :D

yeah but webber is a good aussie (nsw even) boy and will surely show vettel a clean pair of heels. he's just been sandbagging this last year to let vettel have some sun before he demolishes him this year.... yeah that's definitely it. :banana:

At the end of the day i think Vettel is a better package, but it counts for nothing. If Webbar can out qualify Vettel he will beat Vettel.

No way Vettel is any better over a race distance and able to get past Webber. Webber just needs to lift his quali performances, he is as quick but he has made a few mistakes in quali on that final hot lap, be it run too early, held up or baulked.

Will be interesting if they really have the pace over Ferrari and McLaren. This being the second GP of the year i expect Webber will be on fire as he always has a shocking opening GP! :P I have faith in my boy Webz!

ill just be happy for him to get through the first couple of corners. i won a pineapple off my brother last year, i bet he would get hit turn 1. couldnt believe it.

Saw Nando and Massa at Stokehouse restuarant on St Kilda beach last night. Nando was driving a California I think, and didn't take it easy when he pulled out of the driveway.

It was an event for Shell and Ferrari celebrating 450 races together

    • 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?
