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

We've had many HWP and General Duties browse past our meet up or finish points, they have a look as they cruise past, and that's the last we hear of them.

SAU:NSW is known by HWP and General Duties in most areas as a very mature club. They know the Exec won't take any stupidity from people on the cruises, and if there is stupidity, they are reported to the police.

Yeah maybe, but we have never had defecting dramas on any of our official cruises, ever. I guess it's up to the individual really, but it's a shame to have a nice car and never take it anywhere cos you're worried about defects!

Through my experience doesn't matter if your driving like a granny or a hoon. 20kms or 200kms highway patrol will defect you for no reason even if you can prove that it is legal they will still do it.

+1. So true.

You two guys should know! >_<

Stragglers you!!!!!!!!

We've already discussed at an Exec Meeting that any cars which are 'borderline' can and should be tucked into the convoy, anywhere from 3rd position to 3rd-last.

These are the preventative measures that Shell was alluding to on SAU Cruises.

FYI: if you coming via the M4 you cannont turn right into Factory Rd from Mulgoa Rd, you must use the lights 200m west at the corner of Mulgoa Rd and Spencer St.

M4, Mulgoa Rd, Spencer St, Loftus St, Factory Rd, Bellevue Rd.

Hey guys!

I keep missing all your wollongong/robertson cruises ( I live in the southern highlands =/ )

Would Love to come along, need to try and scrape some fuel money together but LOL.

Leave it at yes and in the meantime is anyone starting at cambeltown?

Hope to see you's there !

^ ^ ^ with Mac Pass blocked off intermittently, you might as well come to this cruise Josh > pick up a membership form for SAU too!

Extra advice is this...

Keep a bit of distance between your car and the one in front during the cruise...

* so you can dodge any pothole craters generated from the rain

* lest you cop a stone onto your windscreen from the same said potholes

Yeah your not wrong. Ive never been this far out west in any case So it will be good to trek down a different road for once.

Have we decided on a UHF channel?

Just negotiating with the funds manager ;-) I have her mostly convinced but heh.

im guessing the UHF will be given out on the morning at the initial meet. Its a little paranoid but you never know..

shells

I'd like to just give him a backhand.... but yes :P

Hey, i will take what i can get whether its a backhand or back door :wave:

those directions from the M4, if im using a GPS i wont need to worry about them right?

depends if your gps is smart enuff not to make you turn into a 'no right turn' street, however being the western suburbs....we have only just got street signs and gutters so i doubt your gps works anywhere west of parramatta, good luck :)

IM COMING.

If there is anyone here from Parramatta area going to this, let me know as I may be going and would really prefer not to drive to penrith without a couple of cars there. Last time I went on a cruise I kind of got lost. PM me, I can meet up around the area, and if the guys are meeting at cabramatta/liverpool, let me know I can head down that way. PM me guys.

And if anyone can hook me up with a walkie talkie or tell me where I can get one, that would be awesome! Hopefully my brakes are fully bedded in by then and the car works with me not against! Gonna also try setup an in car camera before I leave to record the whole drive. Always a nice watch.

Dick smith is probably your best bet. You might have to go to a powerhouse but. Uniden are always good UHF's.

Anyone taking the northern road?

    • 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?
