Went well last night. Thanks to the guys from Nissan Silvia and also Simon (Messiah) for organising.

Old Hill carpark was a bit of a joke, I think I must have circled it about 6 times trying to figure out how to get in; later figured out security kept opening / closing entrys and exits... P1 was okay but ended up rubbing my front spoiler on the up-ramp!

I didn't plan on taking that many photos, was going to leave to the pros, I'm just a bit of a hack, but here are a few pics to get us started, let us know what you think...

Dave, Shehan and Sloane it was good to catch up with you guys, if you PM me your email I've got one or two more of your cars.

Cheers,

Matt

Was good down at Palm Beach, was expecting some more to show up there at least, Nice to meet you Simon will try and arrange another photo shoot in better weather next time maybe south as we come from this way. Also sorry I didn’t hang around at Homebush but after seeing over 4 cop cars up the side street was not going to risk having to get pulled over. Trying to get the car ready for Superlap and don’t need the hassles from the cops.

Look forward to seeing some images.

T'was good to meet some of you guys, unfortunately the police were awaiting us by the time we got to homebush from SAU to meet up with the NS guys, so we ended up just doing a little mini shoot with FST32R which was the only car left as i think Brian didn't want to get into trouble as he is prepping his car for superlap.

Had heaps of fun, processing photos at the moment and will post them up when i'm done with them (or what i am allowed to anyway).

Thanks to the organisers, was super fun, looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to everyone who pitched up, both for photo's and those who just wanted to spectate and or cruise.

I learnt a thing or two both about cruise organising and photography, so i'd call it a sucess in my books. Hopefully enough people agree that it will be worth organising another in the not too distant future.

As some of you might be aware, we had a visit from Jerry of Fast4's while we were at palmie asking us to submit some photo's. Can i assume that everyone who had a pic taken is ok with that?

It does mean that you wont get access to the good shots until after puiblication, but after that you'll be able to see your car in a magazine and have a full quality digital image to back it up.

    • 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?
