Yep, would have been kinda funny to watch the rock climber or the Commodore roll off into the building (as long as no-one was injured in the process).

Was good to catch up with Alex, Craig and Ryan, and I'm pretty sure Ian had a good time too. It would have been good for his cabin fever after being stuck inside the house most of the past two months since his bike crash.

Nice of Craig to volunteer helping Ian with the mods for Ian's little red wagon too! :P

Alright peoples, I'm in the process of doing the proper thread for the cruise, and once it's all sorted and ready to go I'll post links to it here and in each of the state Events threads for Queensland, Canberra and Victoria too. So keep your eyes open for it!

Thanks for playing taxi Nick, much appreciated.

Yeah it was good to get out of the house and like you said "good for the cabin fever" :pirate:

I had a good night, met up with a few of the boys. Forgot my pain killers tho so I was hurting by the end of the night.

All in all a good night & a big turn out.

Oh yeah I'll have to get the parts I'm missing so Craig can lend a hand.... :whistling:

Im so looking forward to this one & I should have my seats installed. Been a while since my last cruise & it'll be good to get out of the house. I hope I can postpone my knee reco till after...start praying for me :worship:

Is anybody bringing their Kids along ? Was thinking of off loading them for the day but if others are, why not.

14yo son coming with me (actually I'm going with him as he needs a driver, lol). Nothing wrong with bringing the young 'uns, unless they tend to upchuck thru the corners.....

looks like I will be there.....thanks to Hill's Motorsport/Duncan and a bit of assistance with there consult.....car's running but coughing and spluttering a lot....OK/safe to drive.

Don't forget; daylight savings kicks in on Saturday night.

Clocks go forward one hour.

Thanks for the reminder Dale. I wonder how many people will turn up after we've left/about to leave the meet point?

Speaking of which, I'm leaving at 7am tomorrow to drive down.

    • 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?
