Here's a rough map. Not set in stone. Departure/meet points not shown except Springwood which seems the usual Brisbane Sth side meet up.

Need someone to nominate somewhere on Gold Coast, preferably on the south bound side of motorway, to meet. Then we can decide on times.

Cheers, Leon.

Map?

Umm, that link works for me. I even changed IP address & computer & clicked the link. Still works.

Try this (in full): http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=204827697789425650374.0004b68fdddc226e15477

Anyone who can't see it let me know & I'll see what else I can do.

My Stags really rough ATM & getting full kit & respray in the next few months but I've got my new front tyres yesterday so I'm good to go :)

Will be good to have you along John.

Found a place near Natural Bridge that could be a nice stop for lunch. Two Pines Cafe, 3175 Nerang-Murwillumbah Road. Spoke with them & they have the standard cafe food (pies, burgers -from $8.50, steak sandwiches 'bout $15, full meals as well) so won't break the bank & hopefully suits most people. Still open to suggestions tho'.

According to Google maps street view, they have easy access parking for 10 cars. They told me they would open up the block next door (weather permitting) if we needed more room.

Ok everyone, the cruise is tomorrow. No one has suggested departure times, so I'll take a stab at it.

Springwood: (McDonalds car park) 9:30 for 10am departure

Elanora: (Salk Oval car park - near The Pines Shopping centre) 10:30 for 11am departure

Anywhere else along the way, please organise amongst yourselves. I'll be at Elanora as I'm coming up from the south. I think I'll do the Tomewin road on the way there to refresh my memory.

If the travelling times I've suggested are unrealistic, someone please let me/us know & offer an alternative.

We will also stop at either (or some/all) Murwillumbah, Crystal Ck, Chillingham for a coffee, chat, toilet break etc, then on to lunch near Natural Bridge. We should easily get there by 12:30 depending on how often/long we stop.

Today I picked up 2 GoPro cameras & have 1 pointing front & back.

They are set up for full 1080P (HD & widescreen) & I'll try to mix up my road position to get good footage of every car.

So here's a small incentive to show up: I will burn the video to a DVD & post a copy to every car owner/driver on the cruise!

Of course no tunnel footage will be allowed, lol.

It should be a good cruise, hope to see heaps of people there.

Cheers, Leon.

Sorry, I was having too much fun to take any pics. I have good video of some of the roads we drove. Will edit a small clip or 2 & post sometime.

So sollly. Missed this one. Just too much going on in the Art Gallery ATM. Now the Hols are over I have more time. So I will be back at the Stagea coal face for a few weeks.

    • 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?
