Sorry JamesW, no spectators. This is a training course, not an event.

You don't bring friends to watch you go to school, right? :-)

are watchers welcome?

I'll book the venue tonight and contact you guys in regards to deposit.

(Minimum $50 deposit is required to confirm place at least 2 weeks before

the D-Day).

It'll be Saturday 21st February then... the venue is within Melbourne metro, however as this is a training day, not a competition event, we can't advertise location on public forum as we can't have hundreds of people rock up at the gate just wanting to be spectators.

Venue will be disclosed to confirmed participants only.

Halz,

I'm yet to hear from Driver dynamics in regards to how we're gonna arrange the number of ppl... For each additional people above 6 drivers in a group, we'll have to extend the session by 1 hour so that everyone can still have 4-5 laps of 15 mins each.

Alternatively if we have enough people then we'd have to make another group, say Sunday 22nd Feb, but if it's gonna be about 6-7 extra then the Sunday

group may not have the BBQ. Even BBQ for Sat group is yet to be confirmed, depending on if the BBQ on site is working or not, and the time to prepare & cook it within 30 min lunch break. But BBQ or not, it's still a fun day out there :)

Rianto

All full now? bummer.. was hoping me and mate could go.. $120 is quite good value.

simmo for events like this there are no spectators allowed. its purely just for the driver education, not like the drags or anything. im sure if you were to sign up for the next session you could still have some fun with your honda, remember it would be totally leagal to do whatever you like with your car at this place, and better than doing it in public plus helps car control

sorry rianto i cant make this one again (frustrating) but thankfully gerald said last week that my suspension is coming in 2 weeks so not long now and also new wheels coming soon (volk challenge hoorah)

thx for updating the list for me, hksgtst.... I'd be sending PMs around once I got booking day pre-confirmation from Driver Dynamics.

Simmo32, no you can't come and watch as this is a training day no event. If you want to pay extra $10,000 for public liability insurance, you're welcome to watch and bring all your mates as well :D

hey doxx, no problem... have fun with the new wheels :D

don't go blinding old ppl around ur block with those shiny new rims u got :D

halz, won't be a problem, looks like if we have 13 confirmed ppl to go,

then i'd be happy to open another 4 hour session on sunday 22nd feb.

i'd put your name in for the meantime and u can ask ur mate to come along.

I would be happy for another day or the longer sessions - as long as it doesnt become inconvenient for everyone else.

Let us know what can be arranged - I may be able to get a few people interested..

    • 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?
