Sau:nsw - Monthly Meet February - Sunday Morning Cruise & Breakfast


Recommended Posts

What was with the guy in the high vis just after the sharp hairpin (north of Bald Hill lookout) standing in the bushes with what appeared to be a camera? This is on the return trip back to Sydney. Had a blue motorbike parked nearby. Thought it was a copper at first but it looked like a DSLR he was holding, not a radar gun. Not the greatest place to position oneself I thought, whether it was a cop or just a car/bike enthusiast taking photos.

That guy snapped me, was definitely just an enthusiast... I was going pretty slow stuck behind some traffic so got a good view

I shat myself as I came through the corner. I was already driving wobbly as it was due to my new setup. And I see a hi vis guy holding a camera. I was like dfq are the cops doing there :|

Yah I saw the guy too. With a dslr and vest. Next to the blue bike. Freaking gave me a heart attack. I thought was a copper. Wasn't going fast. So I gave him a wave when I realised he wasn't a cop.

There's a few guys who take pics on OPH; generally they load shots to FB pages, and you can pull them off their wall.

Some will give/sell full size image files to you if you ask nicely.

had a blast, car was filthy afterwards. What better excuse to wash the dirty old datsun than after a Nasho run?

22b was a beast

Was great to meet a few people in person.

Thanks for putting this on, will try to make the next meet but depends on my workload from uni

Thanks again Raj, great cruise; awesome bacon spot at the Cafe!

Great to meet some new faces, and see some really nice rides; so cool that everyone braved the rain.

Thanks to Terry for giving me my first opportunity to drive a GTR; in the N1 no less!

Now, how can I hide an R32 GTR from my missus? :whistling:

Im just glad everyone had a great day out. :)

The weather could have been a bit forgiving but overall, I think all the members made today's event successful.

Thanks to all. See you at the next meet!

was a great little drive, would of stayed for breakfast yet had some things i needed to do.
Was interesting for a skyline cruise, considering the car behind me was a stagea, then i was in a 180, then someone in a mazda 3 mps, then a wrx, then a r32 then a bmw,

This seems to be the car everyone wanted to see

5/5 There's no doubt about the great diversity we've had to-day eh? Sorry to have missed out on most cars, but they'll be coming out shortly.

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the pics from Jason and Ciaron at the Weir and the Bridge. Thanks in advance to them!!!!

Thanks Raj and the Executive Team for putting together another great cruise! Despite the rain I think we were really lucky to have the road and meeting points mostly to ourselves.

And a special thanks to Ciaron and Jason for their dedication in photographing the event. It's extremely appreciated by myself (and I'm sure all who attended), let's not forget these guys missed out on being in the heart of the cruise in order to capture the event!

Really looking forward to seeing the photos. I'll upload some of my parking lot pics soon.

Cheers,

Mathew

oh em gee...

Matt's beema, he let me sit in it.

I felt like growing a moustache, wearing a tweed jacket & smoking a pipe sitting in that driver seat. Very classy indeed!

Yeah, all of his photos will be of cars nose-diving heavily as people are slamming on the brakes thinking he's a copper!

So as usual the Down Shift meet was marred with drama with an S15 crashing and a whole bunch of other morons chucking skids everywhere in their Hondas.

Just remember this is exact thing that sets us apart from other clubs and the reason we've never had a police drama on a cruise to date.

Just remember you're representing the club, and if you do something silly and get caught, we're all tarred with the same brush and its all downhill from there

But great day aside from the unscheduled bath this morning around 7am, can't wait for the photos :)

I found the motorbike photographer, no car pics but I guess you can message him?

Someone started a topic on netrider forums asking about the photographer taking photos at RNP today & I realised it was the same dude :yes:

    • 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?
