Important things to note;
1. Please bring a Gold Coin Donation (feel free to give more!)

2. Bring a full tank of petrol to the start point.

3. You don't have to be a club member to come along to this event.

4. This will go ahead if raining, although if hail is forecast check this thread on the day to check (just in case) if it's been called off. We will make this call the night before.


5. This is not a speed event, it's a cruise. Want to speed? Come to one of our track days instead!


On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit. There will be

NO DRIFTING.
NO BURNOUTS
NOTHING ILLEGAL!


Do so and risk being reported to the police!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club.

Any 'suspect' (read modified) cars should tuck themselves somewhere between 3rd and 3rd-last in the convoy.
As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit.
This will be another fun day, with the only cost a Gold donation, fuel, and whatever you decide to buy at the Pie Shop at the end.
Bring a walkie talkie if you have one, as we will sort out a channel to use at the start.

Just an FYI this was the result of a lot of back ground coordination with Rob and the 300ZX folks. We're going to try to meet up at our start point, but logistically difficult to fit all the cars at their destination. Hence the change in our route.

Come out and show Eric & Kylie how great the whole automotive community is!

I could be down for this as well. I dont think I have any plans for that day. My missus may disagree though lol.

Only just found out about this cruise yesterday.

Absolutely mortified by what I read on the aus300 thread, what a gut wrenching story. Prayers and best wishes for Eric and Kylie and the family.

In for sure, see you all there with wallets ready

    • 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?
