Mate, all your questions are in the very first post of this thread

First post of this thread if you've not read it

I have all the cruise details and notes and will have them at Upper Ferntree Gully Train Station. The plan for the day is for a long drive to our lunch spot - then a quick side trip to go visit some waterfalls - then the drive home.

We go straight out of town from the start point so there will be no joining up with people from Ferntree Gully. So as I said earlier - if people out west want to make their own pre-meet and cruise up together then please do so. Unfortunately none of the committee guys are out that way currently so some-one else will have to come up with a plan. But its not that hard - just state a time and place and people will turn up! LOL.

.

So who else is going to spend all day Saturday washing and waxing there cars?

I'm having my interior and engine bay detailed for me on Friday.  I hate cleaning the inside of my car.  Maybe I'm lazy.

well if you spend all day saturday doing that, then i guess you will miss the cruise :P

I'm gonna have to start polishing my car on Friday night then.

Hey ppls.

Well, the interior is detailed, the exterior is all washed and polished and tyres are all shiney.

BUT, My missus (co-pilot) has pulled out at the last minute.

So, if there is anybody who needs a ride, give me a call.

0419 101 639

I'm in Doncaster East and I'll be leaving the area about 9:45am

Happy to take a passenger.

BASS OUT

My co-pilot has betrayed SAU! :P

He has decided to pilot his mate's 300ZX (who by the way is not coming), and will be joining us in that. I say we give Shivam a HUGE head slap! :slap:

But in all honesty, if i didn't have a car i would try to do the same thing :D. Better to be a driver than a passenger.

    • 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?
