Hey Peoples, good to see some Townsville people invading these forums. If you see 96SKY around give me a wave. Also I was thinking of having an import meet, where we can discuss problems, mechanics, etc. and have a look at each others cars. Please let me know what you all think.

im from the Isa, but in brissy now :) I used to cruise up and down ross river road and the strand. Was a good cruise for a weekend(leave friday arvo, and cruise saturday night). But that just shows you that mount isa is a hole and saving up each week for that once a month cruise is worth it. too bad brisbane is worth cruising every weekend :P

If i go back to isa I'm going via townsville, the roads are better and less roos. Well glad your having a good time there, and that hill in the middle would be awesome for going up and down. Also out at high range army fields, is that allowed for public use? or army only?

When & Where? Well I am happy to do a lot of the organising myself but a bit of a hand from someone that has done this before or is keen would be appreciated. I have access to some free advertising and know a few people with grey imports. Do we want any grey imports or just nissans or just Skylines, what do you all think? Personally I would like to see all grey imports as a theme but of course all car enthusiasts would be welcome to attend. Come on lets get this happening, Cairns has already done it. If anyone is interested in helping or would would just like to show their interest please email me [email protected]

Sounds like a great idea to me. I reckon getting more grey imports is better. Maybe we could get together to organise something prior to having a meet.

Regards Jonathan

I can offer about 20mb of webhosting space.

Also if any of you guys want a page hosted of your car im happy to throw it up.

at www.calais.vze.com. could make another short url redirector like www.skylinetsv.vze.com or something north qld orientated.

I'll be up at the end of March through Easter, won't have the "line" though.

Will be driving the Commonwhore Wagon.

I'd still come along for the perve though.

Make it a Sunday morning at The Strand, In the Rock Pool carpark, Strand Park Carpark or somewhere like that.

Meet faily early, Nine or Ten, for an hour or so, then cruise up Castle Hill and back down and around the burbs, then out to Willows or something?

Hay All

    • 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?
