Heathcote was - but the timing has become that bad now. Last time i was there one lane wasn't even working.

Same has occurred with a few mates as well recently.

HH is definately more fun for $$ :D

I've been to hh a few times this year with GCC, typically ~60 cars for the day.

If you arrive early and get car scruitineered, you may be able to get a couple of practice laps in.

It's about an hour between runs, enough time to watch others, get food, and pysch yourself :)

Anyway I know theres a few things on this weekend, just something to consider.

Pether!!! Where have you been hiding? Still got your R34?

I've been under the radar for a couple of years, yes still have the r34.

Trying to part with car didn't work, then got motivated by richo's performances to fix issues and try again.

For last year, I've been doing dirt ax/kx in my daily - great for improving skills and doesn't cost much.

Anyhow seems the gtr guys have moved on so its good to see the rwd skylines doing well.

I went to hh yesterday for some very wet runs then damp runs.

Turn around b/w runs was pretty good, many people pulled out and few people left after a few runs.

There's a couple of ax's on oct 21 so probably no show/shine for me.

But I'll be doing the double whammy oct 13 wrx/14 maserati so will checkout peoples rides then.

Not sure if I've seen your car on track before, is the 14th the first event for the s15?

some inspiration.....

umm so how do you embed?

For the whole weekend?

Haha, I just had a lil chat to the missus, think she's too busy with work to care!

Should be seeing my entry early next week I reckon. Will be good to test out the new Schroth harnesses.

    • 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?
