Shes not finished yet, Ive got a veilside rear bar on the way.

Already got AVCR, SAFC2,SITC, Trust Vspl IC kit, Trust catch Can and bigger bosch fuel pump going in sometime in the next few weeks.

Also booked into fulcrum in a few weeks to get a full whiteline handling pack including front tower/strut brace. (Ive already got teins too otherwise it would be works kit).

Once thats done; Goto CES and get split dump and revise my current exhuast setup including take off or getting bigger cat.

Yup, her mouth is wide open at the moment! dont even think about it guys! :wassup: hehe

she looks a little bare without a cooler, but it wont be long

Oh yeh, i put in $120 worth of oil today :) Motul 300v Chrono 10w40 Ester Synthetic. Pretty much the best oil you can buy.

Also got Phillips 100w crystal vision or whatever .. the top of the range ones, they have a blue tinge but are ultra white in color. These lights rock, super bright and clear. Was $95

And to finish off i bought a 2watt uniden CB for the cruise this wkend :D

In other words, an expensive day!

..where that went :) he gave a reasonable quote.. sounded like he knew what he was talking about, and be buggered if I'm driving around town to save only $200 or something anyhow... and well 2x skylines now I know came out looking pretty good. Thats enough for me.

So you went with dave pred?

cool, tell him i told you about him .. names caillan

He does a good job mainly because its HIS business, the staff comprises of him, his wife- does all the spraying.. and his best mate.

So sometimes i may take a little longer, but its done good.

i still cant wipe the smile off my face about how good the car looks, its really unbelievable, the photos dont look anywhere near as good as it does in person.

I just wish i could of had EVERYTHING done for the big cruise this weekend, owell :) she will be a BEAST on the next one.

Oh yeh, its my bday this sat nite guys! great timing if i may say so hehe

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
