Hey guys and gals!

Well, since SAU:New South Wales is going to be down in Canberra over August 20th and 21st for an MDTC day and then our social dinner, we figure we might as well chuck a cruise into the mix and make a proper weekend of it! So I introduce to you, our SAU:NSW 21st of August Social Cruise!

***Please note change of plans due to numbers of attendance and a crazy truck blockade that may have interrupted plans!!***

Event: SAUNSW 21st of August Social Cruise

Location:

From: SDMA Hill Climb Track, Sutton Road NSW (just out of Canberra)

To: Various sightseeing destinations around Canberra

Date: 21st of August 2011

Time:10:30AM SDMA Hill Climb Track, Sutton Road NSW

Approx Length: 3 Hours

What is it: A family friendly SAU NSW Cruise!

Cost:What ever you pick off the menu for lunch!

Overview:

Meet at the local hill climb track - I'll be one of the short blonde chicks with a white 32 GTR :)

Cans of drink and food like bacon and egg rolls, sausages etc available at the hill climb.

From there since Eric will have his video equipment on board we plan to do some sightseeing to check out what is around in the nation's capital!

Possible destinations on this cruise will be:

Air Disaster Memorial

Mt Ainslie

Black Mountain (Telstra Tower)

Red Hill Lookout

Parliament House

Art Gallery (several sites along the water for great photos)

Almost all of these places have cafes and good places to eat so that can be TBD on the day depending on how we all feel!

FYI, I'm pretty sure the section of the route immediately to the left of the word 'currawang' on the map is dirt, not terrible if it has been graded recently but can get quite bad at times. The road through Lake Bathurst past Wakefield isn't bad but will make the route longer...

I have an alternative, it's a bit more highway but apparently the bit up past Lake Bathurst isn't a bad drive!

Estimated time on this one is a little shorter at 2 hours 20 minutes.

Sorry for the mix up folks! Matt tell me what you think of this one!

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
