Hills Cruise on Sat 14th Sept


Recommended Posts

Well it seems as if there is some interest, so here is my proposal.

If the weather turns bad we will postpone till another day.

Meet at Pelican Plaza(cnr Golden Grove Rd & North East Rd where

Hungry Jacks is) at 1:00 to 1:30pm. Leave at 2:00pm approx.

Cruise up North East Rd through Chain of Ponds then veer left to

Kersbrook.Head to Williamstown(good bakery there) then right to

Birdwood.Stop on the main rd at Birdwood to stretch legs & bunch

up, then continue up to Tungkillo turnoff.Turn right & fang up through the Gum trees then turn right before Tungkillo & head up to Mt. Torrens,Woodside,Nairne, then on to the Freeway at Mt. Barker. Hoon back to town(all at legal speeds of course)& stop at

the Mt. Lofty summit car park for coffees, photos etc.

This is only a rough proposal, so please comment if it's too long or whatever. the biggest problem with group cruises is that the second half get left behind, so I would like to organise several pullover points where the tailenders pass the leaders and take the front.This way everyone can see everyone elses cars & we can stay together.But - if you like cruising at 60kays all day with your arm hanging out the window, this is not the cruise for you.

If it looks like a goer, I will organise proper directions printed up.

Suggestions? Of course any model car is welcome.

:burnout:

Yeah I know, It would be easier to do it earlier in the day.

Sometimes there is a lot more traffic around before lunchtime though.After lunch it seems to clear up a bit.

Suppose we could do shifts - a morning cruise for the early birds,

then the same lap( for those that like to sleep in) in the afternoon. Joking - ha ha.

Could ask the cops to close the whole area off for us for the day!

Hmmm, one way to Birdwood - that would be fun.Wishful thinking!

:)

I`m going to try and get a leave pass from Mrs Bugalugs for this one as Bugalugs Jr should be here by then(any time now).

John-I think Pelican plaza car park may be a bit small/packed with ppl at that time of day(not sure dont live up that way).Maybe kmart ingle farm in the corner near auto centre.The rest sounds good for everyone as there is alot of straight line stuff for the ppl that dont like corners(whatsisname:shake: ) aswell as the mighty Chain of Ponds Rd for me:D

Matt

I cant see why it has to be only Skylines.

This is only a casual cruise for whoever wants to come.

I agree that there will be more room at Kmart Ingle farm -

good call Matt. Hope you can come out for the day.

Congratulations on the pending new arrival!Hope all goes well.

Regards,

Munro.

PS. Who's going on this Victor cruise tomorrow?

Hi Munro,

Nice GTR you got! I was the guy driving my son's overcast blue Silvia SR20DET, and left the R33 4door home due to son's friend not come on the Victor cruise.

The black M3 Beemer driver is a bit of a worry!!!:eek:

I'm coming in my white R33 4door this Saturday cruise to give it a run to see how good it is with more boost done by TILBROOK, and is it definitely Pelican Plaza carpark or is it changed to Ingle Farm???

Seeya there

Graham:D

Hi everyone,

Confirm - meeting at 1.00pm Sat 14th at Ingle Farm Shopping center near Kmart Auto centre on Montague Rd.

I don't know how many are coming yet but I can print directions if

we need them. The LS1 guys were going to cruise on Sunday so

why dont we invite them to this cruise.

I will have to thoughly clean the R34 'cause it got filthy last Sunday going to Victor Harbour. Those boys know how to cruise!!

:flower:

PS. Can someone bring a digital camera?

I will almost certainly be there /unless the wife cracks the ****s *again*

If so, I will most certainly have my digi camera that burns straight onto 200Mb mini-CDRW disks .... it holds a LOT of photos! :rolleyes:

And it takes 15 second videos for deep conversations .... and burnouts *coff* :)

Hope we are gonna have a good turnout .... looks like the weather will be awesome (if not a tad hot) .... fyi I will be taking it VERY easy since my run-in with the fuzz :( .... so John and Robert don't try to razz me and get me to race :D *soooooo hard to do :) *

    • 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?
