Was down at Bobbin Head last night - Sinking a few beers with some friends - Chucked a line in about 10:00pm - No bites at all.... We were there for ages

So we decided to pack it in and go to Narrabeen, just under the bridge there where the wall of granite rocks is.

So it was about 2:00am and were we all pretty bored - and then, one of my mates gets this massive bite ! We all thought he was just shitting with us cause we all had no bites at all thru the night. Anyway, he starts pulling this fish in - it was only a small one - but since it was the only catch of the night we all gathered round to watch. We were wondering what it was....

So I get the torch out - and shine on the line so we could see the the hell was going on - And just after I shone the torch on the water/line - this BIG muthafarker shark jumps out of the water and latches itself onto the fish my mate had caught.

My mate had a 2 metre wire trace on the line - so the shark got hooked too - it wasn't able to break the line and becuase of the size of the hook (large) , when my mate jagged the rod back, the shark stuck to the line.

This shark must have been a good 40-50 kg and was thrashing about - I think it came out of the water once or twice - It may even have been a hammer-head - but it was hard to tell in the darkness.

My mate was dragged into the water - he is only a little guy - he is Indonesian you see - not much weight behind him.... So I take over the rod to see if I could bring the shark in. But it too much the shark is very powerful. I was there for a good 15 minutes - feeding line out - Just as I thought that the shark was weakening, I decide to reel it in.

It took me another 20 minutes to get the shark about 5-10 metres from the shore. He put up a damn good fight. At that point I knew I had the bastard.

I turned around to my mate to ask him to help me out getting this big thing out of the water - I must have let my concentration lapse because the next minute I was in the water....

I was shitting myself I let go of the rod and tried to get back to the beach - But the fishing line wrapped around my leg and U was getting dragged out - I took off my shoe and the line let go - The rod and the shark were gone.

I lost one of my Brooks sneakers in the thrashing about - They cost me $270 for the pair - I was so pissed off.

I struggeld to shore and found my mate talking to a park ranger - WTF ?? - he was trying to explain our story - Apparently the Ranger was asking for our fishing licenses.

I said "No problem, here's mine" - I went to get my wallet out (it has my Fishing license in it all the time) - But my wallet wasn't there - It must have come out of my pocket when I was fighting the shark.

I told the park ranger this - but she didn't beleive me. So now I have to go to court.

So much for my fishing adventure - the Ranger says I will never be allowed to use my rod again.....

Oh well - her loss :P

Damn.....

i live 2 km from bobbin head and love that drive.... i want to block it off and time trail throu there,

i have seen sharks at apple tree bay.... they shut it off one day so ppl could get rid of them.

they come into the small bay when they are sick or giving birth...

it is nuts...

anyway we should do a time trail throu that.

cos there is only an entyry and exit. so if we could control that it would work a treat...

I dont think so, we do not endorse or condone illegally blocking off a road to do "time trials"

...

time trial ...

yea baby

:P

I'd love to do a time trial but I'd want the cooperation of the authority owning the road first :D

Why not, it worked in the fast and the furious?

C'mon, you just don't wan't to be in it cause you havn't got a motec exhaust.

I'd do it but only if we can have really hot chicks there to offer themselves as prizes.

ps :jk:

pps. The drive down to Bobin Head is very bumpy at the bottom anyway, not good unless you have rally spec suspension... Save it for the track lads. :P

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?
