We are on the final list with both cars - EVO X and R35 GTR, so come up and say 'hi' :)

Saw that. Hope you guys have a ball. I'll try to avoid the combination of whiplash and jizzing my pants as you tear past me :)

Awesome, heard back from ASP today and all details have been confirmed ... I'll be camping there Saturday night also. See you guys there. I'm sure I'll be wearing the standard issue gay orange overalls ... but I'll be sure to keep the SAU-SA cap on. :dry:

so you might be a contender for mt alma especially in a production class against the flat out race cars is another story but your not going there to beat them

True......Third outright - 0.4 seconds off P1 in the GTR, and thats on the factory Dunlop road tyres. A great result

Telling though was that the GTR clocked outright fastest time into the first split all weekend where power really counts in the drag race up the hill :happy:

Our Evo X missed the top 12 shootuout by 0.1 seconds or thereabouts.

A great weekend for the Willall R35 and crew :D

Was awesome to witness the GTR in action. I've got pics and vids to post up after the track day at Mallala today fellas.

Martin, coulda sworn you made the top 12. Bugger! Oh well, next year then? :happy:

Stay tuned. :D

went for a drive up that way yesterday. lots of cool cars out.

unfortunately the combination of wet weather, small child and my poor preperation for the conditions meant that i couldn't stay too long.

did you have a missfire issue at Mallala on the weekend? Even with that, your car is seriously fast!

Yes, very frustrating. :) Tried different leads, coil packs and gapping/cleaning up the plugs in between sessions, but unfortunately didn't have any spare new evo 9 plugs with me to fix the problem. It was painfully breaking down under load, so I was short shifting and throtling at 70% to avoid it on the straights. Despite the misfire it was good to get some track time and use the tyres to keep the lap times somewhat respectable. In the end it was only a demo, but worth all the pain just to drift turn 1! :D

    • 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?
