Any Skyline owners metal heads?

Hey, a music forum page here, cool!

I am thinking that surely some Skyline heads who like their cars with speed, power, and grunt, who would like their music the same way? The two go well together. Try listening to some ripping speed / thrash / death metal while ripping up the road in a speed machine, Hehehe, what a blast.

Been into metal since my good ol' high school days (and I'm pushing 50 now, how some things never change) , and listen to it all (well, most of it all, as there's some stuff that some people call metal, which I do not) from classic metal, to power metal (I'm talking real power, not the flowery false stuff) , speed / thrash, and death metal. Will be good to see some other metal heads here. I'll post some play lists soon. Won't be light reading though, Hehehe.

Classic metal is good......some newer stuff I can handle, but not into throat cancer candidates......probably cos its outside my 'era'.

Black Sabbath, Pantera, Tool, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Buffalo etc etc.....Not a Metallica fan cos of Napster

 

i grew up in the era of Korn, Metalica, Sunk lotto, Deftones, tool ect.

 

im still a big fan of ausy metal. was listening to Caulfield this morning on Spotify. quite good.

Dead letter circus is less heavy but so good.

Architects are another recent fave

Hahaha definitely metal head. Not heaps of old stuff but can't ever go wrong with Metallica, slayer, megadeath. best part about metal is it's real music not audio tune vocals or anything. Love new metal above all, parkway drive, the amity affliction, Thy Art Is Murder, The ghost inside. My list is endless.

I can't hate Metallica, even with the Napster thing. The way I see it, they lost that war and someone else was eventually going to kick up a legal fuss, if not them. Was pretty much Lars' doing anyway.

Having seen them live in the last few years, wow...to be playing the same music at that age and still be belting it out with the energy of 20 somethings doing their first gig...so impressed. They get played daily in our household.

I think Korn counts as nu metal, but I love listening to them and others (Slipknot etc.) before a weights session at the gym.

The older I get the more mellow my music has become 

I grew up listening to 70's and 80's punk and heavy metal, nowadays it's to pointlessly angry

Now, I'm more classical music, hell, me and the Mrs go to the Opera house now 

I do on occasion listen to some old punk stuff, but it is rare

I still regularly listen to Iggy & The Stooges, all the original British metal bands from the 70s (and bleeding into the 80s), Metallica (even though Lars is a bit of a dick), Tool (which is only "metal" because some of it has distortion - it is otherwise obviously everything but metal), most other proper prog rock stuff (my daughter is still trying to steal my Rush t-shirt for wearing to gigs), and so on.

But pretty much all speed metal, thrash, nu-metal, anything with gargoyle growling, can go eat a bowl of dicks.

I am also starting to listen to more classical stuff.

Orchestral, piano, violins.

Heard an Aussie opera track on ABC classical yesterday I liked randomly scrolling through stations.

I'm liking the stuff you listed in your last paragraph more these days.

Personal taste and all that.

Still like metallica,  but agree, Lars is a dick.

And tool is still awesome, but I wasn't as big a fan of their latest album compared to their previous work.

It's less aggressive, but definitely far more complicated. It's really driven by Danny, Adam and Justin pursuing their musical ideas even further out than before. It's actually better listened to at fairly low volume levels. Fear Inoculum itself is great track to listen to in the dark.

I get that, it's just personal preference. 

I felt it was more melodic.

And didn't overly like chocolate chip trip which most have about.

    • 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?
