National Park Cruise Out West (Via Galston Gordge)- Sun, June 19Th


Recommended Posts

And did anyone else notice the old car / bike show that we passed in the middle of nowhere, kind of near Oakville?

Hope that David and Longz can get their notices cleared ASAP.

Thanks for organising Joely, shame about some of the crowd but it's hard to avoid that with multi-club cruises, I think we made the right choice in hanging back as everyone else started to leave Silverwater, put it that way.

i saw them all heading there, didnt see there meet up point as we took a detour, after getting seperated from you guys. coincidently enough our detour went straight to kfc before going to windsor boat ramp....amazing :whistling:

agreed about hanging back was the right idea, i just wish i had a UHF would have made it alot less stressful haha

Good time at the cruise everyone! Our convoy manage to avoid most of the retardation thankfully. I had a real good time afterwards heading to the lookout and grabbing some seafood and steak with the club.

Big shout to Terry, Bob, David, Longz, Sean and Matt for showing a visiting Canuck a good time with SAU! Hope to see you guys again in MacPass.

I got one picture that day before my camera died :( Then I failed to remember the iPhone I was holding in my pocket lol.

any pic's from the guys in the forester taking pic's as we were going down into the national park

I've asked for them on OzFoz forum.

And rgb, we had a great talk too on the day.

BTW, Sean's car makes all cameras DIE!!! Even MaTBoY's flash unit can't stay steady in front of that white beast!!! :P

How bout the ppl took pics at the silverwater boat ramp? do you know who did Terry?

Sorry Kelvin No.

I was trying to let any SAUers know that we were operating on Channel #11 on UHFs and that we were going to cut out if there were any shenanigans.

So making up the final group, the only shenanigans was by Po-po-nazi

Lol yeah I think my camera said to itself: If I'm going to die, I want Sean and Terry's GTRs to be the last thing I see :D

Gold wheels are "IN" Sean!

OzFoz guys Josh and Dane have made contact. They took moving pics of the Skylines by stopping before the Gorge and waiting for us.

Their pics will be received and posted up sometime next week. :cheers:

PS They also said they'd like to come along on any future cruise with the 'Lines. :action-smiley-069:

whats up with a random Lotus Esprit V8? love it!

I don't think that's one of the V8 models, Patrick. They only came along very late in the life of the car, that one in the photos looks like an early- to mid-90's version.

Yeah it was a turbo V6. Sounded real nice.

Turbo inline four guys! 2.2 litre, 1993. Spoke to Nice bloke Ben who imported it personally fro the UK. One of my all time fave cars. This era Esprit was driven by Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct...

really? could have sworn i saw an inline 6 in it..need my eyes checked haha...never knew they came out in a four, well there you go

2.2l Four S4s in '95 adopted the larger rear wing from Sport300, larger inlet ports, larger turbo, cylinder head mods, recalibrated ECM > 0-60mph in 4.6sec

Nicer looking than earlier versions I think....

    • 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?
