We aren't going into Wisemans Ferry if thats what your referring too, and dont think we'll be stopping along the way due to the amount of cars we've got attending lol.. but once we get into Windsor, definately keen for the feed champ haha ;) then (whoever is keen) we'll head upto Hawkesbury Lookout- which from there is a 10min drive to the Hwy, easy run down the M4 back down Sydney way.

sounds like its gonna be an awesome cruise. first cruise since i got the car! =D hope it'll be great.

anyone wanna meet up before? i live in marsfield next to eastwood

I'd love to come but I think the 33 will be to hard to push the whole way, my build is taking too long.

Guys as a local of Dural/Arcadia please watch out for the green commodore that does laps of old northern road between round corner on glenorie.

He is (un) affectionately known as "captain canary" and will pull you over if you fart at the wrong time. He has even pulled over some of my friends wives in there 4wd's because they have mag wheels.

Just a friendly warning ;)

Also please disregard the primary thread showing you the cruise route & directions!! The NEW upated primary thread is down the bottom of the 1st Page!!! Cheers

How many run BOV's is that going to be a hassle on the run ?

Phill

Guys don't let it worry you I just wanted to let you know about him.

I mean in ten years of owning my line he has never pulled me up and it's far from stock sounding. But he has gotten a few friends and defected two friends wives for mags so maybe I've been lucky.

I reckon if you all stick together and no one acts like a but monkey you'll be sweet.

Hey you may not even see him at all.

Better to be duly warned than get a surprise. Once you hit Cattai Ridge Road you out of range ;)

Keep an eye out for a really sad looking guy standing at the top of his driveway with his SAU lanyard waving...........it will be me wishing I could be there

Hopefuly we dont see him, but then again will be hard for him to pull all of us up hahahaha.. im not stressin cause we'll be in a big group!! :whistling::banana: Sounds like his on a power trip though ay :spank:

But we're not taking Cattai Ridge Rd. anymore, we're heading up Old Northern & taking Wisemans Ferry Rd. now, i went for a drive and thought it was much nicer (views & on the tires/rims) seeing the roads been re-done :cool:

Cheers Dave, thank you for the heads up, much appreciated...

Im runnigs a BOV too, and probably over $5,000 worth of other defects!! Just dont make yourself a target, with stupud behaviour... on our last cruise to Terrigal which was for charity, someone did a burnout & got they're car impounded... Other than that the cops left everyone else alone, i've never had any problem on previous cruises!! All i can say is; Be the loudest one, who wants attention, and you'll get it- you'll be the weakest one!! Just bring your common sense & stick to road rules, and we'll all be sweet. Cant wait, will be a great day out cruisin ;)!!!

Oh the peace of mind of having an engineers certificate haha. Hopefully my days of defects are over!

I would be really interested in bringing my 180sx along for the cruise :) I live in the mountains so would come to Hawkesbury lookout as well as its on the way home :)

You'll all have to come say hello and be friendly though as i wont know anyone else :(

    • 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?
