Major Club Cruise, Western Swing - 15Th May


Recommended Posts

Date. May 15th

Time. 8.30

Location. Macdonalds Yamanto.

Well peeps the much talked about western flood cruise is OOONNNN! I have scouted the route and the roads are in good skyline friendly condition.

WE will depart the rendezvous and swing out via Amberly on to rosewood then through Laidley to forest hill next town Gatton and then through devestaded Granthem.

From granthem we will take the old toowoomba road and then turn off on the Gormans gap road to flagstone creek road which winds its way up to Toowoomba. Its the back way to the city and is largely unkown by most.

Once in toowoomba we will head for picnic point where we will hook up with a couple Toowoomba liners for a chat and a leg stretch and then proceed to withcott for a counter lunch.

From there its a short drive down the toowoomba road to brisbane and home.

Cruise duration. Will be about 1 & 1/2 hours give or take 15 minutes or so and withcott is about 15/20 minutes toward home from picnic point.

This will be the first of 4 major club cruises for the year so lets get behind it and make it a goodun.

Looks like it going to be an awesome turn out, Not having a whole lot of luck with the T'bar owners have told alot about it so we will just have to wait and see. But I'll defiantly be there.

been talknig to clint (TMBA) and he's somewhere up the sunny coast the night before and whilst I tried to get him in on it he thinks timing won't be on his side.

I have a couple more via FB that will probably rock up.

    • 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?
