For sure....with the new and improved V

Excellent mate!

Group is getting bigger :)

Would like to check out a v35 a bit closer then a picture too.

Just incase someone gets there and doesn't know who to look for or gets lost, my number is 0421551710 and my name is Jarrad.

Good to see there is abit of interest..

Either way, will be a nice chilled Arvo...

Maybe a stockton drive would be a good spot to go afterwards for abit of a run.. Probably get some nice pics there too with newy in the background... I can bring my DSLR..

Title looks like it's offfical SAU meet up..

If we want to have an official SAU Newcastle meet up how should we go about it so we dont upset anyone?

We are outsiders and obviously are going to have separate meets to alot of the Sydney based SAU crowd, but of course we want to do it all right :)

Speak to anyone on the NSW elected committee to perhaps bring up at the next meeting or in there super secret forums and they will see if there is a possibility to fit it in the calandar.

I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. You could even make a day of it and have Sydneysiders cruise up for the day to meet up for some lunchin.

Any of these guys will do.

Thanks for the input,

I think this has been taken the wrong way though, most likely by my choice of thread name.

The idea was not to start an official SAU newcastle club / event etc.. the idea was basically to get peolpe in newcastle and surrounding areas that are on SAU or SAU NSW members together to provide some networking, and maybe get some local meets (anyone from anywhere more than welcome, but all newcastle based etc).. hence the SAU newcastle name, although if this is against rules or confusing / upsetting people, we have no problem changing the name or removing SAU from any of the thread titles to not mislead / misdirect people, and/or inappropriatelty represent something we are not.

this has come about becasue as much as i love going to sydney and especially SAU NSW events (which i plan to deffinately contiune doing, i actually have my car entered in and supporting the SAU group at this weekends The Low Down Showcased car show), its not easy for us to come to every small gathering that i would like to in the syndey area, just trying to start up similar things in the newcastle area.

As mentioned above, Matt has made contact with the correct people and hopefully this all gets sorted with all parties happy.

Cheers,

Anthony

I think you are taking this a bit to seriously. I know it's not official, I read your thread in full.

I was just mearly pointing out the fact that the title may look misleading to some.

We used to have a coasties meet up few years back which was very popular but unforunatley due to some unrelated sau members the meet was shut down.

It's a shame that there aren't enough members up there to make up numbers for a offical regular meet.

D_I_F it was just the comments in other threads that had us concerned, felt like maybe we had stepped on some toes or upset people which is the last thing we want.

We want to promote the SAU community in Newcastle/Central Coast areas and by doing so follow the guidelines and eventually we may have enough people to create the regular meets like the ones in the past. The few guys that are keen on this event are not interested in any behavior that would reflect on SAU poorly and the last thing i want is any negative attention with my car after finally getting it running 2 years later, we are happy to have unofficial meets etc but we will need to have more threads for each meet, the idea of the title on this thread would be more so to attract the local guys and see if we can get something together :) (Make sense or am i just dribbling lol)

I cant wait to be involved with as many SAU NSW events as i can, have entered Texi, Marulan and probably the Nats as well...... Bring on the good times :D

Oh, and bring some of your Sydney peeps up to say G'day :P

Ok cool, I was under the impression it was vice versa that's all..

Seems we are on the same page so all good.

What other threads?

Have we upset someone?

We are all good mate, just a few misunderstandings etc, nothing to worry about.... This thread may change title soon just to save some confusion in regards to Official/Unofficial meets which is all good :)

The event is still on and is going to be fantastic :yes:

Awesome news mate! It should be a good day to catch up.... :yes:

Anthony - May be a good time to start getting some firmer numbers over the next week so we can book a table out the back just incase there is something on at the same time etc.... Just to be safe :)

On that note, if you are coming can you please let Anthony know if it is +1 etc so we know how big the table is going to need to be?

Hey Matt, I'm a little hesitant booking solid number as its such a casual meet, I might give them a call tomorrow and give them a heads up that I will turn up with 10 to 20 people or something?

Just that it's hard to tell numbers, and the amount that are keen to eat as well etc?...

What you think?

    • 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?
