Great ideas.

ECR 33, can you please PM me your e-mail address. So i can update you after this weekend's discussion (as you probably wont be there being geelong and all ;))

As for camping, i'd be up for that.

I know of several places, and one is very secure with only one exit/entry

And if numbers are not too high, i have a house we can use, but i can only let members i know well as it's worth a fair bit of $$$.

but it's like 5 mins walk from the safe camping ground i know of so that's good.

Im sure something can be arranged easily anyways.

And im thinking then (if we camp) we can do a 2-part cruise.

Day One - Apollo Bay/BBQ/beers etc.

Day Two - Cruise down to the 12 Apostles etc and do some sightseeing and drive back that afternoon after lunch or something.

??

just a few ideas crossing my mind at the moment ;)

My other reason for thinking of staying the night was that IF there is a large number of people that can't make it down on the Saturday but really want to do a GOR cruise, then a second crew can head on down Sunday morning and meet up with the over nighters. This will increase the number of happy campers in our newly developed Club that aims to please!

And camping sounds great. All we need is a skyline wagon to bring the beer!

Any more ideas people?

or thoughts???

if your not coming to the SAU drinks this Sunday then post whatever you think up here as the specifics will be decided on Sunday between who-ever is there.

I'm just going to say that the cruise will probably go to Apollo Bay, that's a very reasonable distance without going 'too far'

Suggestions so far:

1) Split two day cruise, drive down to somewhere like Apollo Bay and camp the night.

2) Have two groups for two days, the Sat people camp, and then the second run of people come down on Sunday ?

3) Just go there and back, same day.

Attached is a pic of one of the last GOR cruises... Just to get you all into groove a bit more.

Simply awesome shots

:P

Id hate to burst anyones bubble... but maybe we should make it for early March...

Just saw this up on the MCCR site....

** Now i guess everyone wants to know whats coming up! Well theres a regs cruise, an open daytime bbq cruise a massive nighttime cruise and also a inter-club great ocean road weekend away in late Feb. But details on that one will be released next week. :thumbdwn: **

Id hate to driveup there the same time that they are... we all know the cops love MCCR

HHmmm... thanks for that... something i didnt want to hear, but good none-the-less.

I'll take it to drinks tomorrow and put it on the table.

Also i'll ask around a few people i know and see what the deal is exactly...

There are a few other routes that we can take to go to Apollo Bay. And then we can still do the 12 Apostles/campin etc.

anyways... what were you doing looking at the MCCR site?

:P

ash

LOL

knew that was comin...lol

I stopped going on their wankk cruises over a yr ago.. they still send me emails to tell me when the next cruise is.. so i went to it.. Its actually been months and months since ive even been on their website.. But lucky my intuition told me to look...LOL

Not able to make it tomorrow unfortunately.. :P

Will see you guys soon though!!

28th still sounds like a good idea regardless of other cruises on that day. SKYLINE people will turn up to a SKYLINE/sports cruise. If we have to we can always go the backway from Apollo Bay to Geelong through the hills and the other half the GOR or vice versa. There's a bit of fun either way.

Camping also sounds like a good idea as long as it's set a fair way in advance. All ideas are sounding good, so assuming my car's finished and back on the road by then, count me in!!!

Pick a date and i'm there!

They certainly do have a bad rep with the cops...

Thats why i would rather go on a diff weekend.. but i suppose thats up to the guys organising the cruise..

So.. i may or may not be in..

Cheers!! ;)

Xplodeskyline, MCCR is the Melbourne Car Cruise Registry. A fairly big club of all kinds of cars. When out and about there's always a few d**kheads causin trouble. Bit of a cop magnet.

If too many people want to change the date because of this, then soon after would be good otherwise it will never happen.

After the current discussion on MCCR and their choice of day for cruisin, i feel it is time we find out roughly how many cars will be attending just so we have numbers in mind.

R31Nismoid and Snowman wat r ur opinons on the MCCR and the current date of choice?

I've have not checked the MCCR web-site so i dunno if they have some with a date.

But we will still go ahead i think. If we cross path's then we do.

Nothing that can be done. We have a few options for different routes etc so it shouldnt pose a problem if we are all early and puntcual.

I'd say the camping thing is out ???

I'll probably be staying down there for the night. though. Just easier.

Come on guys!

More input gets a better cruise

    • 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?
