Hey all! In a bit of a pickle. Chasing two 225-45-17 ku36's. Was meant to pick some up from Advance in richmond but none in stock and only one in the warehouse.... if anyone knows where in Melb or ne vic I can get some please pm me. Otherwise I may have a very odd wheel tyre combo for Deca!

Cheers, Glen.

Thanks guys!

I'll get on it first thing Monday morning. Looks like another trip to melb maybe on the cards haha!

I think Option 1 will deliver for you. Might be able to get em in a few days to save yourself the trip.

to rain or not to rain, the weather forecast for next weekend says rain :yes:

so all you guy's with semi's have a back up plan ? i don't think slicks would be very good in the wet

yay i found the event schedule, why didn't i look there first

RB20's don't have that do they? :)

Hey Leon.

I went moto riding with Andy on the weekend. He told me you bought his car. Are you bringing that to DECA? See if it can handle more than 1 run?

yeah man... bought his car... well see how it goes next time as it still has some issues with the clutch!

Taking the red 180 this time and might put some 'for sale' stickers on it to see if i can move it along to someone else!

semi's... what semis?

pipe down you with your ladida streets :)

Jesse and Chris are out, Antony and Tom G are in.

Less than a week to go! A wet deca could be interesting... if it does rain all 4WDs are banned ;)

im only using what crappy tyres i have, and unfortunetly i have 2 sets of old hard rubber which i feel the need to abuse and wear down.....slowly... :)

omg yeh i had a look at the skidpan layouts, and i like the inclusion of the roundabout in the mini wang !

looking forward to next weekend.

What would be worse? Random average street tyres, or KU36s in the wet, or would I be fine in either if careful?

If it's wet I'll just use this as a big learning experience!

No worries Tom, see you at the next one. Sam you are now in.

Kieran, you need to be careful no matter what tyres you run. and they need to have decent tread depth.

Keep in mind people cold brakes and tyres in the wet on track are very dicey and easy to lock up. its even more important to try and brake in a straight line to keep your weight evenly distributed. (on the back tracks). The skid pan is just rediculous when its wet. I say this as we would like to avoid cars going off as much as possible, obviously :)

The Kumhos have more tread, but both are roadworthy. I guess I'll stick with the kumhos as they're my daily tyres and this will be the best way to learn how my car will react on the street in the wet if I get into a slippery situation.

Like I said, I'm just going to go nice and easy and take this as a big learning experience rather than a race. :)

holly f**k forgot this was this saturday. soo much to do. well not that much. needs to do a full service and mount fire extinguisher.

also if it rains ill just stock to the skid pan and will just cruise around the wangs lol

    • 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?
