Had a very bad start to the day....

Intercooler hose popped first lap, and then it popped again on the first lap of the second session....

This is the results of 5m flames

Once we got all the sorted, had a blast!

Thanks to Richo, Rob and the guy with the hoses & zipties for helping me out!

Very happy with my times today, once I started to grow some balls

what a great day! first time at Winton and definatley worth the drive. I dont think you could ask for better weather, crisp cool air and sunshine as well.

just been playing back the laps in my mind over and over on the drive home and i m sure ive found a couple more seconds! :ph34r: cant wait to go back.

Tony & Rob hope you had a good last session? Tony i wish i had seen those 5m flames, thats a classic.

lol, pipes need beads on the outside. Also, you should be able to get 1M lengths of silicon pipe off SAU silicon guys to replace the rubber poo that is on there atm. That should stop them blowing off.

I'm hoping someone has video of the flame!

was good to get out there. now i gotta keep going to track days to learn how to drive!

good to see you got some good laps in after the dramas tony!

Yeah the first morning was so frustrating, only 1 lap in 2 sessions and working furiously on the car to get in right for the next session :/

video of my fastest lap of the day.

pretty happywith the lines, was getting some bad understeer tho, think too much grip from rear. need semi's for front next.

got my PB just in time.

made it half way to shepp b4 the rear brakes gave up the ghost and went metal on metal

so need to fix them and a windscreen b4 HH.

    • 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?
