I have never been to one would love to meet some of the guys from this forum. i am stripping my 30 back in the next month for a respary and the interior is going to my mate at the same time for a full retriim might be a good chance to get it out for a drive, im in ACT do many other people travel for it or is it mainly melb and adelade people?

I'm still keen on going, but only if there will be a decent amount of OLD SCHOOL. Really don't want to rock up to a R32-R34 convention. I'll go by train with car on board. What accomodation did you tee up D, somewhere close to the action?

ive got a friend or 2 in Radelaide so i can stay there. should have 'mandie' in some sort of shape by then as ive just got a new crane job. ive pretty much put the project on hold since like july last year until now. woo!!

In 2006 we had - 1 R33, about 4 R34's

In 2008 we has - about 5 R33, and about 6 R34's,

and both events had nearly 100 cars

so the classics will be well represented

Cool! Partay at Dr Josh's place!

Got room for a tent?

Maybe not for me!

I'll probably be too busy catching up with the lost tribe at the Glenelg.

I'm overnighting at Mildura on Wednesday 8th, plan on being at the Glenelg about 1500 on 9th, do the sites before check-in Friday 10th & departing for home & probably via Wagga Wagga Tuesday morning 14th.

Hope to see you all there in your finest style.

MAG's maybe you might want to RV at Wagga Wagga enroute about 0700/0800hrs on 8th.

Cheers, D

Since I live in Adelaide I will be there, just unsure on whether my car will be there at this point in time.

Im about in the same boat...the house will be finished in the next month or so then im pouring some money into the car...hopefully have it back on the road this year!

Adelaide is the R33 capital of Australia :)

Last SAU cruise I went on in a mates DR30 we felt completely out of place, we even got asked to move so all the 33's could get a group photo :D:) Sad but true

I'd like to go but i dont know if the old (stock as) C210 will make it there, i just wanna see all the skylines, particularly, C110,C210 &C211s.

Might take a flight over if money and time is nice to me.

Put it on a trailer like I'm going to do with the PNV.

Cheers, D

and pay a mobile mechanic to follow :)

just need to keep a lot of tools with me and belts etc and it should be fine.

Im told C210s are really good for highway cruising because of their gearing, im pretty sure its true, it does well.

    • 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?
