Hey everyone!

Its been way to long since a good Newcastle organised cruise, (mainly because all 5 of us have been busy as with other things). so this one has to be an awesome come back!

so the plan is, we will be doing the north section of putty road (as its the only part worth doing), instead of the boring hwy there and back were going to be going on some fun familiar roads to get there, basically trying to roll 3 cruises into 1 without going through a lot of petrol.

The route, makes for a 3 hour trip of fun!!!

SYDNEY PEOPLE; if you want to meet up along the way just say where and write you on the attendance list so you don't get forgotten about, I recommend meeting at wollombi as the first half of putty rd is very boring and youll still get a lot of fun driving time. If not the halfway point on putty road will still get you a lot of driving and shit talking

an epic cruise for Sydney people will be old pac to peaks ridge to wollombi and continuing on with

Meet at 9am, to leave at 930, the drive takes 3 hours to get to the end point which is where we will be having lunch at singleton pub that weve been to before.

Meet point, United petrol station 971 Freemans Drive

lots of parking space, looks to be a very generous driveway.

We will be stopping if required to meet up with people from Sydney at wollombi and ofcoarse the putty half way point. the cruise is only 3 hours with 1 break so if you cant control your bladder youll have to catch up :P

Parking is limited in wollombi so id prefer not to stop, but if need be we will pull in at the pub, we just open the gate and drive into the meadow as does on previous cruises. hopefully we don't need to as id feel bad having 30 cars pull in just to take a piss and then leave without buying anything. PEOPLE WANTING TO JOIN HERE, BE HERE BY 10:10 SO IF WE SEE YOU, YOU CAN JUST JUMP ON THE END OF THE GROUP SO WE DONT NEED TO STOP.

This is the half way point on putty road if anyone doesn't know it. im sure well stay here for a good 30-1 hour talking crap. PEOPLE WANTING TO JOIN HERE, WE WILL ARRIVE AT AROUND 1130

From putty, we will head to singleton for lunch at the albion pub! we will arrive at 1230 for all the snittys they have.

After lunch i'm guessing everyone will be splitting up, Sydney people down putty, central coast people down through Cessnock and Newcastle people through Branxton (or a little detour that I have in mind ;).

IT WILL BE A GREAT DAY!!! IT WILL BE A BAD DAY IF PEOPLE WITH THE WRONG ATTITUDE COME WITH EXCESSIVE REVING IN PUBLIC AREAS, BURNOUTS, DANGEROUS DRIVING.

were going to have fun, on some of the best roads in the state, we don't need idiots wrecking it.

    • 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?
