once again it's been a while since i've been - when i used to go to at EC it was on only once or twice a month.

whats it like out there now its every week? many people from this forum still head out?

I think benm regularly attends to spectate
Sure do -although- last week I actually went to race after spending over an hour in the scrutineering line and then another hour in the line ready to race (whilst moving a whole 3 spots forward) to then watch it piss down.

Which reminds me.... I gotta ring them to find out about my ticket from last week, they said i'd receive something in the mail but I haven't.

If you plan on going to race get there early (ie 4pm).

Well another packed out nite at WSID (I think I need to go to WSID Anonymous). :wassup:

Arrived at 6pm to spectate to discover 160+ competitors waiting out the back. It was a 4 lane carpark all the way past the scrutineering and back to the Pit Entry Lane. A friend waited 2hrs to get his first run to end up with 3 runs from 5pm->10pm. They actually sent competitors home whom arrived late because their was too many to begin with. I think they are going to need to change the starting time to something earlier to cut off the competitors at about 120 :wave:

Didn't see many Skylines there :Oops: Their was a black R33 GTS-t doing 13.5-14.0's all night which looked to be fairly stock. A blue LJ doing low 9's (NOS Assisted), the Hayabusa was doing 9's. Afew pack cars in the 8/9's. Afew Comonwhores with some broken gearbox/clutches :aroused:

Good nite of racing and an excellent crowd (bigger than the "Drag Combat" Event held last Saturday).

Had a guy in a little Corolla trying to drag me the whole way home on the Hwy. Got about 1km from home and realised it was a mate :headspin:

WSID havnt got it right yet in letting people know that it was tickets only last night at the competitors entrance yesterday, i was with my gtr on a trailer waiting for 2 hours to get in the back but security would let anyone in with out a ticket, security almost got bashed by some lebos who has the shi*s, and the line up was rediculous, esspecialy when people bring there stock vk holdens and think they gonna run 10s all night, just a note to all the poeple who take there stock geminis and other stock vehicles," if you havnt moded your car or tuned it for the night dont take it down casue when you gt on the line and pop your cluch and have to be towed away you ruin it for everyone else who has to wait for whours till you get you car towed off the line and have to clean up the mess.

if you havnt moded your car or tuned it for the night dont take it down cause when you get on the line and pop your cluch and have to be towed away you ruin it for everyone else who has to wait for hours till you get you car towed off the line and have to clean up the mess.
In all honesty I seen 3 cars have issues from 6pm->10pm. Each of them took around 3-4mins to be removed, even the quickest car of the nite had an issue (parachute let go after the burnout).

It's the d1ckheads in the Magna's with the shopping trolley wings that do a 150m burnout (with no smoke) that are more to blame of holdups.

yeah thats true, magnas should get banned, esspecially with those stupid shopping trolleys, that dont help to break the 19sec pass

Actually it was doing 15's the same as 300kw HSV's :wassup:

If you wanting to "ban" cars ban the <10sec cars, but then again thats what brings in the crowd.

If I was JR i'd be having 100 cars on Wed nite and 100 cars on Fri nite but just make it 5pm-9pm or something.

yeah well yeah well like i said prepare your self for the track dont just rock up like your going to the movies. have what you need ready and run your time. i mean it in a good way, and hope everyone the best of luck, ill be there next week at midday waiting to get it.

anyone takign their gtr down to the creek next week>?

    • 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?
