You can look on the united site and select united servo nearby where the cruise goes and you can also view what fuel they sell at the Bowser E85,p100 etc,

As for the half way meet point is this the twin Caltexs on F3 freeway?

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

LOL!! Tell me about it!!! hahah have contacted Toshi - maybe can get him to help me look at it and give me a quote...

I am up for this... From the Newcastle end.

meeting at Halfway point or is there a Meet up for the Newcastle people before hand?

Looks like livewire is trying to organise something, check out the Newcastle spotted thread, I hit him up about it today.

Which mean we leave there and head into 16km of the some of best road NSW has to offer :D

Yep now that is what I like to hear lol.

And thanks James, your name has been added.

As Jackson has mentioned I believe livewire has been organising a Newcastle Meet :)

Ok, so anyone from Newcastle/Central Coast/Hunter Valley that would like to meet up with myself and Global_warmer in Singleton before heading down the Putty Road, here's the plan...

Meetup 9-9:30 at Sundial on Ryan Avenue, Singleton

Leave around 9:45/10 (allowing 1.5 hours to Putty meetup)

I have attached a "dodgy looking' map lol. If you have gps, type in Ryan Avenue, Singleton 2330, otherwise i've highlighted directions from coming into town. Very easy to find. McDonalds is on the New England highway (changes name to Maitland Rd when coming into town) so you will run into it. There are two sets of traffic lights at the intersections outside Mcdonalds/Hungry Jacks/pizza hut etc, take a left at the second set of lights (york st) an follow it till the end, left again and then next right opposite the united servo and you'll see a giant sundial at the end of the street. We'll be waiting at the sundial :-)

Is it 177km there and back or each way, cause each way means I'm out, I can't carry that much fuel :( lol

170km per tank is about the best I have done, cause I love boost :yes:

There is United E85 is Cessnock which really isnt that far to travel if you are keen...

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

I run 28psi and dont have the fuel consumption issues you guys have? Well when i was street driving anyhow... Would get at least 350km to a tank including plenty of full throttle!

On track its shithouse but that is mostly full throttle :P

I'll just bring a few Jerries, should be plenty, it will work out to just over two tank fulls

What can I say, my 34 has a drinking problem lol :D

Just a suggestion for those running e85 who are concerned about fuel consumption... Rather than being turned off coming or not wanting to carry spare fuel, maybe come up the putty road with a full tank but head back via Cessnock to the F3?

    • 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?
