Well my car got all that much closer yesterday.

Brake master cylinder in, bled & suspension all done. Wheels went back on last night and I expect it to be going to the exhaust people either later today, or next Tuesday when I'm on another day off.

All is going to plan at present.

  • 3 months later...

Im pretty sure Cazz has been putting inmany hours of 'covertime' at work, getting everyting ready etc!

Im still trying to figure out if the cars will be in n Arc or Line....

Im thinkig of asking the boss for the whole of next week off, otherwise this car will be both shit lookin, N/A (as in no turbo) and a 3 inch stanless exhaust and scuffed Z31 rims... TOOO loud for a total of 3200km trip...

AND

another let down.... blown headgaskt. sure it only takes 10 hours to fix, but I only ave 32 hrs to spare, and 30 of that is bolting on go-fast bits!

arrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhh. should just buy that shabby GTSI and give it a detail....

and the many hour of tuning, otherwise you will be trailing it home..

Ive decided to keep the go-fast bits for the long weekend we have coming up....

So im going for the growly N/A option.

Still to decide on what to do with the exhaust though.

The turbo exhaust setup (which will likely be a bit too loud for N/A):

3 inch stainless from exh manifold to the 'cat'

'cat' is now a 3 inch I.D. (4" O,D,) stainless hot-dog, about 40/50cm long

then to a 2.75 inch mandrel section from the 'cat' to over-the-diff,

to a 2.5 inch inlet oval muffler with dual 2.5 tips

Still contemplating chucking in another muffler in the 3 inch front pipe

versus a 2.25 mild steel jobbie from the local workshop (at a cost though...) in which I will be chucking in a few months for the turbo setup....

although i could re-sell it to another member>>>>????

Edited by MAG86
Yeah, I have to travel all of 3km to Glenelg. I'm not sure the heater will have started working by then.....

Aren't you just the fart smella :starwars:

I just got mine back from detailers & they tore the seat fabric and the trimmer farked the job on the other.

Why does everything go wrong in the last minutes of preparation.

D

NEED TO KNOW:

Anyone who is coming to the presentation dinner who has any specific dietary requirements? need to know asap!!!!!!

otherwise you will just have to make do.

Cheers

    • 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?
