If there is going to be a few of you classic boys I might fly over for the weekend and then aim to have the car there in 2011.

If you do, you might get a chance to feel for yourself what we were talking about, as I can set up the PNV with same bars.

Cheers, D

and pay a mobile mechanic to follow :D

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.

yea they sit at about 4000rpm lol. take alot of fuel money.

seriously though i trust these cars with my life. take brake fluid. p/s fluid too. socket set. spanners. cigarettes. ect lol

just hope you never have to use any of them.

is yours auto?

mines the 5pd manual and it sits on ~2800rpm @ 100km/h

i guess the 3speed would push the revs up higher?

The past nats have been awesome at Shepparton. This event in Adelaide is promising to be even bigger and better. Please note guys, if you pay your entry to Mallala and nationals entry, you do not need to pay for concourse judge or park.

$140.00 early bird pricing for mallalla is very cheap motorsport.

If you already have a CAMS l2s licence and SAU, NDSOC os CSA membership, then you do not need to apply for membership status to run this event. If you are not a member of these clubs, you will require membership of a CAMS affiliated club to compete in the track day. CSA is offering weekend memberships with CAMS affiliation for $20.00, and this covers you for the week. You may look to pursue membership with SAU for the whole year, or CSA for $55.00 for the whole year.

Any questions head to www.skylinenationals.com or www.classicskylinesaustralia.com.au who are the organisers of this national event. Or send email to [email protected]

We have been able to confirm that we CAN get Day CAMS licences for those who just want a day licence. However, the cost is $55.00. Please note, this is the CAMS charge, not CSA's. So the cost for a yearly licence is $110.00, and a day licence $55.00. You MUST also be a member of a CAMS affiliated club to race. Whether that is CSA, SAU, NDSOC or any other CAMS affiliated club.

CSA can do nothing about the CAMS charge for day rates.

Just as long as my homework pays, im definitly in. will be doing a few club days or similar before hand to iron out the bugs...

ordered a set of rear disks, mine are too thin to get machined and are warped to buggery!... might amend the old project thread.

my idea is to go along for the experience and enjoyment of the whole thing, not to win anything

your coupe dont need to be in perfect nic, just CLEAN! even it it was dented and marked and odd colour guards, as long as it is crystal clean that is a good start

speaking of good starts, my suspension parts have been sorted, an dwill be in the 'testing' phase very soon

can get permits for a cruise or to move a vehicle etc. but for a cruise it has to b a register one and need a letter from the organisers. just wondering if there will b a registered cruise for this event and if so, who to contact about getting a letter? (just says what the cruise is for and location/roads taken etc).

would love to take my dr30 out..

    • 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?
