Okay people, as you know, the SAU-NSW Executive committee have been working towards putting together a cruise to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Nissan Stagea. This is an official cruise put together and fully supported by SAU-NSW, and the details are as follows:

Who: all Nissan Stagea drivers, enthusiasts and lovers. Interstate people are more than welcome! (You don't have to own a Stagea either, other cars are more than welcome)

What: A cruise and gathering to celebrate 15 years of the existance of the Stagea

When: Meet up at Top Secret Imports, 36 Forge Street, Blacktown @ 10.00am for a 10.30am departure - Sunday the 2nd of October. Stageas will be leaving TSI first, then Skylines, then any others who may attend. (Breakfast will be on the BBQ from around 9.30am, feel free to come along for that too!)

Where: our destination is Wiseman's Ferry for a lunch and to relax amongst the company of other owners and enthusiasts.

Route Map: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=Forge+Street,+Blacktown,+New+South+Wales&daddr=-33.6624219,150.9219089+to:-33.65734,150.94221+to:Old+Northern+Rd&hl=en&ll=-33.564284,151.085358&spn=0.47432,1.056747&sll=-33.627484,150.969658&sspn=0.236986,0.528374&geocode=Ff35_P0dyrX-CCnTnBjY4JgSazFJRnQmoIExgg%3BFSta_v0dtOL-CCmfqdGKxZ8SazFQdLjlZ30BEw%3BFQRu_v0dAjL_CCnjjt5fHWANazG3ogBlkyQlSw%3BFXWPAv4d0Nn_CA&vpsrc=6&mra=ltm&via=1,2&t=h&z=11

Now, the route we're planning for this day does have some beautiful stretches of road, but as this will be aimed as a family-friendly day (partners and kids are most welcome), we are going to cruise at or around the posted speed limits and keep it safe.

As previously mentioned, Top Secret Imports are sponsoring the day, and we are aiming to have a few give-aways and surprises over the duration of the day. Also, we'll be having some coverage in Performance Imports magazine.

If you have a UHF radio at hand, please bring it along on the day - it's handy to have in case the groups get broken up, so no-one takes a wrong turn and gets lost.

Awesome, Theo!

I'll come along if I can get the day off. Btw, nice rims Nick.

Thanks Eugene, wish they'd actually have fitted the car properly. I'd have bought them, but 9.5" wide with a +15mm offset doesn't work... :(

    • 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?
