It's on!

We know everyone loves a good cruise, so thanks to your events organiser -Aggroman, and with some great company, so, we're going on one again.

This time, we're heading off from Tench Reserve, Penrith West of Sydney. We will be going through some nice twisty country roads, to finish at Megalong Valley to a tea house on the right for a bite.

Okay so here's the details;

Date: Sunday July 24th, 2011

Meet at: Tench Reserve, Penrith (see linky)

Who: Anyone with any car (doesn't have to be a Skyline)

What time should I get there: 10:00AM for a 10:30AM departure.

Lunch: TBA

How Much: Gold coin donation, which will be collected at the start for a selected charity.

The route: I'll have printed maps on the day for people, but goes like:

start: Tench Reserve, Penrith

Route:Tench Park Jamisontown (Coffee Club opens 8am) > Jamison Rd

> Mulgoa Rd

> Castlereagh Rd

> left at Richmond > North Richmond & Bells Line Of Road

> left onto GWH at Mt Victoria

> right at the lights at Blackheath and over the level railway crossing

> immediately left onto Station St

> right onto Shipley Rd

> sharp left onto Megalong Rd > through hairpins

> cruise down into the valley to tea-house on right hand side after 10 mins.

Duration: Expected Cruise time will be 1.5 hours one way.

Fuel BP at North Richmond going up

Fuel Shell at Faulconbridge on GWH on way back home

On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit.

There will be NO DRIFTING.

NO BURNOUTS

NOTHING ILLEGAL!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club.

As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit. (we have now approval, 19 Jul 11)

This will be another fun day, with the only cost a bit of fuel, and what ever you decide to eat and drink along the way in your car.

Bring a walky talkie if you have one, as we will sort out a channel to use at the start.

I've e-mailed the tearooms so that they're forewarned to have some hot grub & not inundated all of a sudden.

Thanks Dave & Sean.

Will definitely be in! Its a great drive! Also misses lives about 10 mins away from the ending destination :) works well

Will be bringing the 180sx! Sold my skyline last night :'( will be greatly missed!

What is a CAMS permit and does it affect me coming to this cruise?

The CAMS Permit, is a permit we run under to provide the club, and its members with insurance during this event, such as Public Liability.

It does not and will not affect whether you can or can't come.

    • 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?
