Thanks for the explanation guys. That might have come in handy over the last 2 days. I drove my car home from Melbourne on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning went to collect the mail and put my foot down (not heaps) without thinking (RWD+Heavy Rain= Spin)and was shocked (I've been driving FWD's now for the last 3 months while waiting for my BMW to be fixed)

ah yeh.... one guy named La_Bomba did that ^_^ (You will see him around the forums)

Don't do what he does :(

Hi Everyone

Charlotte- Yay nice to meet another female owner, I haven't seen any other female owners so far, but I'm from Bendigo.

To everyone who LOLed at the title- Big emphasis on the age and and gender, I figured that would get a few people's attention, so people would comment so I could meet everyone.

Specs, Colour & Mods:

Specs: I can't find anything online much about the 25GT's pretty much everything I find is on the GT-T or the GTR's. I have the non turbo model because I'm on my green P's otherwise I probably would have gone for a turbo model. Redbook is pretty slack on specs as well, except for telling me that it is 17cms wider then a 1994 BMW 318I.

My car is totally stock at the moment, was previously owned by an Asian guy who had it imported, 120,000 KM's. 2.5 Lt engine (it's a 25 GT)

Colour: Metallic Silver

Interior: Grey Plastic with 2 tone Grey cloth interior

Rims: Stockies

Trans: Tip Automatic

Photos: None at the moment, I'll post some in the next few weeks.

Mods:

No mods so far (I've only had the car for 1 1/2 days) unles taking it to the car wash counts to remove the layers of grime and dirt (car was very dirty when I brought it, so I used it to get the price down) my car is in desperate need of a detailing, it's had no external love for quite a while but I have a few things planned. I had the car transferred into my name today, and now have slimline plates that are ***088 (my year of birth)

FUTURE MODS: I can't do anything to much to it, so all mods will be cosmetic because the cops are pretty bad in Bendigo and already stare at the P plate when I drive past....on the speed limit.

* Exterior Detailing, giving it a bit of TLC

*Sound System

* Hasn't got a rear spoiler at the moment so I'll be getting one of those

*Possibly a body kit

*Maybe silver dial rings

*Thinking about taking the sound matting from under the bonnet as it's a little hacked, and could do with a little more noise

* possibly a cannon if I can get away with it

*Mags

That's about as far as I've got in my thinking as of yet, would like to hear any other suggestions from you guys.

Some nice tasteful mods there.

But I must add...

Do not put a cannon - it will actually reduce your low end power (day-to-day driving), make un-wanted noise (in an auto it does not sound good) and attract unwanted attention from the boys in blue....

Rear wing is fine - for a sedan a lip spoiler or a wing from an R34 GTt would be fine. Oversize wings do not look good and also may not be legal.

With sedans - the trick is to keep the styling clean and simple - nothing too out there.

For a P plater.

eg.

Cosmetic:

- slightly lowered

- 17" to 18" wheels (Not the bling/rap star type)

- Factory bodykit

- Tinted windows

- Clear indicators or smoked depending on the colour of your car.

- Lip spoiler

Engine:

- High flow panel filter

- High flow cat

Hey there.

Another one from Bendigo. We must have almost 5 members from here now :D lol

Looks like I'm a month behind. How is the New car going?

Don't stress too much about Bendigo Cops. I've found if your not doing anything wrong and your polite then they are quite fair. (You will get pulled up though)

Hence why you won't see me on the road much.

lol, 5 memebers ha, f**k bendigo is rocking it haha.

i reckon i got more than 5 members with in a 500 metre radius of my house haha.

im just f**king around lol

dont know why, but im sensing a troll

Me too lol.

Be careful with exhausts, to get a power gain on an na you'll want something small, not a massive cannon. Those only hinder low down power.

ah yeh.... one guy named La_Bomba did that ^_^ (You will see him around the forums)

Don't do what he does :P

Ahh yeah, i remember that now. I see his name plastered all over the place now, I'd fprgotten the initial thread haha

    • 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?
