Hiya JT,

Welcome to SAU.NSW

Scroll down to "NSW" and you'll notice that we have...

* Cruises

* Tech Nights

* Track Days

* Hill Climbs

* Texis

You're welcome to join in!

And for Tech Nights, join up!

Yes infact they do but 90% of people on here are R chassis owners. Also a vast majority of those people dont class V series skylines as "real skylines" because they dont have an RB, roubd tail lights and 90% of V35 are auto.

Its may sound awesome and easy as it seems "welcome to join!" other than the stagea cruise i just attended not long ago every SAU NSW meet ive been to i felt far from welcome, had smart ass remarks said and just didnt enjoy my time.

If its not R chassis your not welcome. Thats all i got.

You have a serious in-superiority complex don't you? This is like the 3rd or 4th time you still have shared the same old butthurt story.

Members own all kinds of different cars. The president owns a Chaser. Yes, there are R chassis cars, there are 5 series of them and amazingly, we're on the Skylines forum. Other Members own Evos, Falcons, MX5s, Stageas, Silvias etc etc. If you have ever seen a Vid of the Texikhana that the clubs holds, then you will see the variety of different cars that turn up. We've had V35s and 36s on the pan, ripping it up and people loving it.

You're not going to gel with every person you meet in life, and just because you have cars in common its not a magical thing that means that everyone will love each other.

So, come along and meet some people. Thats my message to OP. Get involved, there are social events, cruises, and motorsport events for people of all kinds of abilities.

Give it a go. If you don't like it, that's fine, nothing lost. But I reckon you'll have a heap of fun getting involved. :)

Sau NSW is a great club to get involved in, friendly bunch, no sense of elitism like I've seen with some other clubs which I won't mention.

As far as cruises go there were a few organised for v series/350z before but thats a long time ago. You can always try & organise your own.

OP best to check out the sub-forum for the state/territory you live in to see what cruises & events are planned in your area

Texi days are lots of fun too, check out the NSW section if you live there

Definitely come along and don't listen to the guy saying you won't be welcome.

I've had 2 different V35's, attended several events including track days with both and never once did I feel unwelcomed. What a load of crap.

Just look at the mix of cars the NSW members, let alone execs drive. Everything from skylines, to stageas, to evo's to commodores to mx5's.

I think honestly there are probably a few people around on these forums that just dislike the V, but that's just their opinion. If you don't like the V they shouldn't buy one. I haven't been to a meet yet but plan too, I'm sure it won't that bad.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
