lollercopter at Adam, smoke much when you were on the fwy?

Jamie: You know when I turned onto Williamsons road, would lowering the car really make a difference to it sliding like that? Was a fine drive home :P

Had a great time, really good to have a chance to get to know everyone better.

Do u mean smoke from exhaust or tyres? if from the exhaust I'll have to get a catch can soon.

Let me know if you want to do the dash.

And good pics :D

Jason I don't think anyone had any idea you were coming back :P Yell it out next time :D

From your exhaust Adam. The second time you hit it when you were in between James and I, I got the biggest fright! Was loud, hehe

Here's the cream of the crop! Unfortunately not the best as no tripod, will bring one next time and maybe we can move some cars around :P

Before I met up with the girls I found my favourite photo place:

Lowering your car will make it more stable and the car won't 'tip' as much + your rears will always 'kick out' a bit, so to improve that, you need to upgrade / lower and setup your suspension right and put some decent tyres on.

Lowering a car will lower the centre of gravity = more stable on the ground.

But cuz the road was wet lastnight and you gave it hard on exiting the corner, you will break a bit of traction, but you controlled that with your throttle. :P

Great to meet and see everyone lastnight, was an awesome ride home!

Will try and get some pics up later!

^ I don't think the damage on your bumper is confidence inspiring :P

ps. Just receive my parking ticket from Kinglake in the mail. $23. All that lecturing and payroll of a cop and admin and postage for $23. Now I know where our taxes go!

Brutal. Maybe next time we want to cruise up Kinglake we can pre-pay and save them the trouble!

Charli, those pics of your car are EPIC! Maybe you can take a couple of mine?

Sorry I missed you guys, but I had to watch St Kilda teaching Geelong a lesson in defence. 3 points in an entire half ... how do you feel, PREMIERS?

    • 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?
