Hi,

Been a member, stealing ideas and advice silently from the shadows for a few months. This is my 1st post so be gentle and use some lube. I've simply been recording my progress with my 33 4 door doing some motorsports with plans for more, much more. intending to run Time Attack QLD series and such as well as a few hill climbs and other miscellaneous events and the odd skid here and there to fill in the gaps. I've been uploading the vids of what I have been doing to YouTube so figured I'd share the link here, seems the people most likely to be interested. Saves taking heaps of pics and writing it all down, just put together a vid and let the google corporation store it in the public domain for me. I'll share a couple of links, will depend on what you interested in, if anything as to what you might want to click on. Remember, I'm learning as I go, my 1st skyline and track car, so mistakes are made, but left in as part of my learning progress, and you might not make the same mistake if you see me do it.

1st Episode, a bit cringe worthy but it's where it starts, this and the next 2 sorta tell you what I have to work with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qez549XL2s

28th Episode, A few skids at QLD raceway, if that's your thing.

29th Episode is the 2015 Jap Nats.

I have no idea if those links will work as I had to type them in manually? I assume it's a bot prevention thing?

Anyway, figured I'd share, if you like it well great, if you don't well good for you too.

Well I must say I'm overwhelmed by all the comments lol. Regardless... Here is the latest event vid.

Plenty of build vids to go with the event vids, I just find the events are a bit more watch worthy as the car is being driven, as opposed to worked on. But if the build stuff is your thing please do like, subscribe and other stuff... I think share is the other thing you're supposed to ask for on youtube lol.

Anyone able to tell me why I can't make this link work.... would be helpful.

Great to see someone getting so much use out of their car, good on you! Hopefully my car doesn't know how to use YouTube, it might get a bit jelly....

 

Thanks man, I think you car might think itself lucky it doesn't get the abuse too

    • 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?
