If my mate with the trailer doesnt have an event that day I am so in for this. Last time at Heathcote I ripped the tailshaft off from the back of the gearbox trying to warm the tyres. Tramped like mofo and before my amateur brain told me to back off it was smashed.

Side note: How the hell nismoids R31 gets down the track without tramp nor wheel spin is beyond me to this day. He had $50 tyres on as well!!

I give the clutch a fair bit of grief to avoid it when i was racing regularly.

It never used too when i had crappy tyres - with RE001's its just axle tramp now however so not sure what im going to do for the day.

There is, but that is only to renew before you are expired... You cannot actually be covered by our permit.

All members must be valid at this stage.

bah, shoot me a renewal email if you can <3

i would hope so...does that mean your coming to this?!? :)

yep definitely coming, although wont be with the water/methanol installed :(

It's not like you're not allowed to renew :D

I like to wait till the red final notice comes in the mail before paying, allows me to squeeze every penny :cool:

Paying before a due date is sacrilege!

Haha but it just adds 12 months to your expiry regardless of when u renew, stop making excuses Patrick :D

Remember that cop who got both of us in the same day, did he EPA you too?

nup no epa, he told me that my exhaust was a bit loud and should get a muffler put in, but didnt give me an EPA because he respected my clean driving record in "this" type of car. :w00t:

Yeah, they are not as good as they are made out to be

Can't wait to skate down the ol ice rink again.

lol you can't use 001's for circuit!

They will last what, 20,000km's or something... not a circuit tyre and will go off with too much heat - same @ the drags.

On street rubber i just go around the water spot, or spin just enough to get the water off them :/

Don't look like my car will be ready ... :cool:

    • 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?
