Sau Vic 2014 Motorsport Championship Round 4 - Winton Saturday 17Th May


Recommended Posts

Committee has discussed the current entry situation and everyone should be aware that we expected approx 110 entries on the day. We did discuss removing this event from the MS calendar and replacing it with another in June. However it was agreed this would be too disrupting to everyone making plans for this event.

We still plan to have a sit down discussion with WRX and talk through the issues that everyone has communitacted to us. All being well, we're hoping to be able to do that before the this event.

I never have... but then I guess people know who I am lol.

Another point - Any SAU-Vic Member that has not confirmed attendance for Squires Loft Nunawading @ Winton - Please post up numbers so I can sort the catering out for lunch!

Cheers fellas

count me in mate, I will be popping down for the day to watch, take photos, be annoying etc. Gimme a yell if you need a hand with anything

Hoping to get along to watch & help out if needed - just not sure if I'll make it yet.

Would have loved to enter, but I was there in the Golf last Saturday for the Tampered day

anybody staying up friday night?

have usually stayed at the caravan park because theres planety of spacer for trailers. Will be booking a cabin tonight if anyone wants a bed, help bring cost down.

Half the time they never look at the card anyway so I should be all good.

You should be ok. You have your card don't you? We send out updated stickers for the cards.

email [email protected] and anna should be able to sort you out.

In, interested to see how this one goes.

just noticed WRX are running emergency entries?

Basically if 20 spaces allocated to a group don't get filled, then the emergency entries get to sip in prior to "the off" to fill the 20 car allocation for that session.

Getting better by the minute.

Hey Lee,

What area do you live in?

We need to try and reserve one or two car ports early sat morning if you are going to be up there, soot me a pm with your mobby if we can discuss further

cheers

I've stocked up on Jerry cans so it's a non stop drive up in the morning for me, so I'll try and get there pretty early so I can reserve a few more together, pretty hard for one person to reserve 5-6 bays.

Will get the championship standings out by tomorrow, have I got everyone and their right classes below?

    • 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?
