Newcastle/central Coast Cruise To Broke And Back! 2/12/12


Recommended Posts

Hey all!

Its our 3rd cruise and this time were going broke!

Martin and I sused out the route today and we both agree the road is better then Old Pac! (much of the same just heaps longer fun bits)

The roads are a mixture of everything you could ask for in the country, wide open roads, tight hair pins, bumps, turns, sweeping bends, old bridges (low lip safe) and great scenery for passengers haha.

Date: 2/12/12

Meet time: 9:00

Leave time: 9:30~

Lunch time: 1130~

Finish time: 1:30~

If your running late and dont have anyones number pm me and ill get the email and reply.

The meeting point for everyone will be in one spot as there isnt any good spots to meet on the outskirts of newcastle and central coast so we will all meet here:/

Directly west of toronto, bit out of the way of people i know but atleast there will be no confusion on the day as its just off the freeway and we will have people coming from sydney, all along the coast, newcastle, maitland, cessnock, EVERYWHERE!

Oh and dont worry south people because the cruise finishes at your door step.

theres a lot parking as shown here where to park, try and get right up the back as we dont want to get in the way of anyone:

From here we will follow the route shown on the map below, the only thing close to traffic will be going through cessnock where we will be patient and give way to EVERYONE.

its a small town and no one cares about your BOVs, straight pipes or gates (hahah) except for us! so save it for the country and be as quiet as you can as respect for members for the public!! (and to keep bad attention of us!!)

From broke "C" to the end of our cruise is an AWESOME ROAD!! the drive to cessnock is a nice cruisy hwy with nice scenery and a few twisties in the middle.

the reason for our detour up the top of the map is to avoid coilover busting bumps that are the worst ive ever seen, this detour avoids all those so no doors fall off our cars!!!

We will be stopping for lunch at wollombi pub "D" who told us they can handle 40 people coming in, ill call them just to be sure they put more staff on when we get closer to the day.

Martin spotted the 400g steak for 23 bucks on the menu!

A photo spot has been chosen infront of a open meadow with a bit of mountain behind it that all the photo nuts will froth over, a passing local said there is barely any traffic so we should have time to park on a slight angle on the side of the road and get some nice shots :)

After that we will go further south which involves a few hair pins and then opens up to a 100 zone (which i could barely maintain) and to our end location for a drink at a cafe if needed and we split from there :action-smiley-069:

Ofcoarse on this cruise we will be sticking to the speed limit as we have done on our other ones, i have just driven this and the speed limit is more then enough fast enough to enjoy.

Remember this is a cruise not a race, race day is at wakefield in nov,

We WILL:

Give way to everyone and everything!

Stick to the speed limit

NOT hoon

NOT be loud and stupid, ESPECIALLY in towns (low rpm!)

Have a great day like on our other cruises :wub:

ANY CAR IS WELCOME, ANY PERSON IS WELCOME, AS LONG AS YOU ARE BEHAVED AND HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!!!!

    • 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
