4 - Black R33 in the pits.

5 - White WRX driven by a disabled driver.

Photo number 5 is of a guy I met in the parking lot who hasn't got use of his leg (gets around in a wheel chair). It was good to see him out there having fun and beating quite a few cars.

Hey Guys... Had a top day.

Thanks to all those that turned up that said the would. And to those that just lobbed on the day and joined in. we had 17 cars in our group + Roy and his mate who signed up by them selves and paued more money... their choice I suppose.

Those that said they were coming and did not even call to say that they would not be able to make... thanks for nothing, I really don't think it is that hard to either post the day before as some did, or call in the morning and let the organiser know. NOT HAPPY JAN

I'll try to organise to get any footage I have off to roy some how... he lives just round the corner from my work.

Dino,

Thanks for turning up to organise and sign people up... was good to finally be part of a skyline club.

I even got to cruise with another official member on the way home... sort of went commo hunting... but found only one to play with and he turned off a few corners after we caught him... oh well!

As has been mention the next day is at Oran Park... and on the Full GP circuit. As Silver has said... I think I'll just have to be there!!!

Merry Christmas to all and a Safe Holiday period... REMEMBER double points has already started.

Cheers,

Dan.

Slow folk like me need help with such matters, how exactly do i sign up with the group. I used one of the spots on the list reserved for the Skyline group booking.???? She still charged me $145, so i just presumed thats what everyone paid.

And as for ...

and some backwards and sideways action from Roy.

well lets just say some of us cant handle our toys, ineptitude, if you cant learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.

For those that missed all the fun...

    • 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?
