Haha, yeah Adam: I get paranoid about cops and wasn't sure if I should be hitting the few twisties of Eltham or not when you were behind me :merli: You basically passed my house!

That was fun, sorry about the miscommunication... next time I will explain U turns better :P and perhaps go a bit slower. Props to Sarah for catching up, good map reading girl! That was impressive :(

Was good once we were all together, luuuuurv the boulevard any time of day. Hope the route wasn't too boring.

Catch you guys at the next one! (Oh, and everyone get a radio! The ones we had were really handy!)

Decent meet up Charli.

I don't think anyone read the map, you said 4th exit at the Apple Peal Round about and everyone went the 3rd exit towards Templestowe.

I was riding passenger in WillL's R32 and he had to goto Yarra Boulevard.

See you at the next meet up.

:/

hey charli thanks again for last night. was wondering where i can pick up some cb radios??

Unco: Just on my way home at about midnight... I live around the corner from Safeways :huh:

Jamie: Where did you go? lol on the misdirection, I also said to everyone just before we left "OK, first step is U turn at the round about and we are heading that way *point towards Eltham*" But I know how things can be misunderstood... I had a couple of misunderstandings myself later in the night :( All in all a funny night :)

Sarah: The ones I got were from Dick Smith in Greensborough, they are 1kw and about $200 for two but they came with a few extras and you might be able to buy them seperately. Maybe if it's a pair and you split it with someone else on here then it would be cheaper :)

Photos from the night.. I think I need to invest in a better camera soon.

There's a couple more on there that I didn't bother linking

We will do it again I'm sure! :(

ps. Thanks for the kind words everyone... I suspected there were going to be a few errors to nut out since I hadn't done anything like this before so it should be smooth next time if I ever do it again ^_^

So did anyone follow you after all?

Or did you do the whole map yourself?

Yeah I had 2 follow me from the carwash, Sarah went straight then turned around and caught up, and 3 cars came from the templestowe direction, then we met 3 on the blvd.... I think, not sure on exact numbers.

    • 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?
