MOVIE NIGHT @ THE SAU:NSW CLUBHOUSE

--> A Project Wifey* Charity Event <--

Since this is a charity event, we are opening it up to all forum members. Normally the SAU clubhouse is reserved for annual financial members only.

We have this terrific clubhouse so let's start using it. We will use a projector and small sound system for the movie. However, since our clubhouse is currently empty, we need you to bring your own cushion to sit on or folding chair.

A charity contribution for Proj Wifey of $7/person is requested but not mandatory.

Where: SAU Clubhouse - 175 Parramatta Rd. Haberfield (on Jap Link Motors Lot)

When: Saturday April 2 at the SAU Clubhouse

Clubhouse will open at 7 PM for socialising prior to the movie. Movie to start around 8 PM

What to bring: This will be a BYO C&B (Chair & Beverage) event.

Parking: Parking needs to be done on side streets around the area. If you're not comfortable leaving your Skyline out of view then catch a ride with friends or drive a daily.

The Rules:

We want to portray to everyone in the neighborhood what a responsible club SAU is so no silly business.

Burn-outs, engine reving, loud stereos etc will not be tolerated.

The SAU club house is located on Jap Link's business premises. The lot, business space and cars are off limits.

General responsible behavior and good etiquette is expected.

*Proj Wifey: A lot of you will know that another car ran into my wife's MX5 at a track day. I'm running a series of charity events to offset some of the financial loss. Contributions to my personal fund raiser are totally optional. We will run a few of these charity movie nights and then they will resume as a normal club social activity. At that time they will return to annual financial members only events.

Initial D is a great suggestion. I have another list in the works that will be added over time but generally we'll keep the voting to around 6-8 movies as any more gets a bit too spread out.

I'm sure we could have more than one movie on the night too :)

... theres always ... Steve McQueen in "BULLIT" ... he did all his own driving in his movies ... & had quite a good race portfolio as well ... the Mustang against the Charger is pretty entertaining for its age ... no trick photography back then except for the odd edit what you see is what you get ... real time car sounds too ... plenty of grunt from the "green pony" ... :) ...

...especially since daylight saving ends that night Owen! :thumbsup:

Parking can be on-site after confirmation tomorrow by Eric (having a meeting with Todd and yours truly) > overflow around the corner in quiet Chandos St. :yes:

Jeeez that R/T had a lot of hubcaps!

Free Mars Bar to the one who correctly counts 'em :rolleyes:(except Duncan who carries on like a k** whenever he wins a prize)

I just finished ripping my copy of Bullitt. For classics I've also got Le Mans for those McQueen fans out there. I also have the original Gone in 60 Seconds which was really a 2nd rate b-movie but the end chase scene makes the whole movie. (The car lot was actually owned by a friend of the movie producer - he just asked if he could shoot on location - who would have known!) I've yet to find a copy of Grand Prix (James Garner - again great flick for it's age. So maybe we make the next one a classics night. Of course Blues Brothers has to be on that classics list too.

As for two movies - well ask Aggro, that puts me well past my bedtime.

On the parking front, I'm a bit concerned about lot security for Jap Link. Tezza and I will be talking with them to ensure we take appropriate safety precautions since we will be in the club house during the movies. I might want to lock the gate behind us to ensure nothing happens while we on-site.

Leave the logistics to Terry and Me, we'll sort them out.

.... some stuff like this would be good ... PURE SKILL NO ROOM FOR ANY MISTAKE ... :0 ...

Link: Nurburgring in the 60's

.... these open wheelers were very quick & super light ... in my opinion the best Grand Prix racing that theres ever been ... these guys would come over the crest of a hill "airborn" at 250kph just to hit the deck straight into a 4 wheel drift under power into a completely blind corner ... nuts ! ... :0 ...

    • 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?
