Hello everyone.

Seeing as I had some bad luck with the previous date falling on the annual general meeting, here is the official #6 cruise with updated date.

I'm the younger brother of James aka Assassin

Bit of an update for everyone, James decided to let go of his passion by selling the skyline. This means I will be taking over the cruises now =)

The next cruise will be to Bateau Bay. Details as follows:

When: 25th of May

Meet: Thornleigh Maccas, back side parking - 10am

Departing: 1045am sharp!

Rules: enjoy yourself without "hooning"

We'll be making a fuel stop on the M1 on the way up so don't stress. We'll also be making some scenic stops along the way as I have chosen an awesome route including lunch by the water in Terrigal.

To all my fellow central coast SAU members, PLEASE feel free to join us

Hope to see you all there!

It'll be good to see you bring the family along. Introduce them to the scene =)

On another topic, I've got a surprise addition to my car =) Can't wait to show it off

i hear ya! lets see if the Mrs is up for it..

For those of you already confirmed, I'm looking forward to seeing you on the cruise but please help me out with numbers! Put the word out to friends and family who may not know about it! I'd love to see 40 plus cars like we used to get back in the day. This'll be one of the best drives you've ever been on! The route I've chosen is absolutely awesome! Spectacular scenery and some exclusive spots for photos that few people know of! Let's all show our love for the Skylines!

To all the SAU members of the central coast, we'll be heading your way so feel free to join us at Terrigal (Haven Beach Café where we will be stopping for lunch. I'll keep you posted on arrival time)

It'll be great to unite Sydney and central coast members =)

If you want to hit 40 cars, I have a bunch of mates that'd probably be keen to join in Danny.. They don't have skylines tho... How open is everyone to EVOs, 200SXs and Hondas?? LOL!!

    • 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?
