Hahah say Whaaaaaat? (what pronounced with a rising intonation..not sure how to put that in text form..)

all those posts about the weather made me think of it hence wondering if now its closer that anyone has a more accurate forecast but my bad for not elaborating.

as for numbers, same thing. Thought a few more might have confirmed/dropped out since and someone could be bothered doing a new count?

anyhoo

The posts about the weather were done the night before your 3am post... that's what I was saying... how much do you think had changed? lol

Sean's keeping the 'attending' list up to date.

Anyway................. :P

oh She mad

how much do you think had changed? lol

time for another well thought out near 3 am post i think..weather could have changed HEAPS in one night, for all i know since last time some guru looked at a sattelite map a butterfly could have flapped its wings in Japan and caused a ripple in the space-time continum resulting in gale force winds in Penrith on sunday and ...and...

yeah i guess i am kinda weird.

Beer and pies on me this wknd!

:cheers:

(for the first 3 to make it to the rest stop)

guys,

I heard from a mate of mine dont know if here is scaring me or not, he saids that this Official Club organise crusie there is a high possiblity there is gonna be some highway patrols are waiting for us !! it will be really sad if we bump into one of those !! have you guys had any of those experience in the past ??

cheers

Highway patrol do exist in the mountains (surprise) they have 2 marked and 2 unmarked falcadores.

Megalong Valley Rd doesnt need cops to patrol it because the cliff on 1 side and rock face onthe other side is enough to take care of lunatic drivers!

u can hear the ocean if i put my ear up to her..

Pat, I love hatin' on you... out of all the weirdos I know, you're my favourite! :happy:

*blush*

would the cops be targeting us ie. the cruise specifically Wlin or was he just giving you a general alert re the cops that are always there, im not too worried as all the cruises i have been on are conducted at barely 50kms/hr with all the people worried about getting lost, getting stuck behind trucks and skyline drivers too worried about scraping their rims/guards on the pot holes..

its on the hell night runs through their with just 3 or 4 cars that i have seen ..ahem, slightly higher speeds but thats usually so late at night all the public servants are in bed or having their last coffee for the night.

    • 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?
