I picked the robe and wizard hat up from the dry cleaners today too..  

naa.. no sandpaper.. we use sandblasting now

... and the difference is amazing. Whilst the sandpaper can cause "some" bleeding, the blasting leaves my sack feeling silky smooth and with only "slight" disfigurement..

Funky: The catalogues sounds great, would love to take a peak :)

Thanks again to those who showed up for yet another successful dinner outing of steak, beer, steak, beer and some coffee.

Was great to see the usual familiar faces with Funkymonkey and Boosted Zed making guest appearances.

Cheers

Back already.... That steak was so good! This place was miles better than last month.

Thanks to everyone who came as it was a top night again and the GTR got to meet some of its fellow aussie skylines for the first time.

I snapped a few photos but due to lack of any where to rest the camera this is the only one that turned out.

Yeah, good dinner. The steak house have really lifted their game since last time I was there. Chris's GTR was soo nice, and Nick's looked pretty damn good with the new wheels too.

So who won the Nissan vs Ford event?

Good to see a new face too, Zebbie. :mad:

Look forward to next time lads.

Last night while you clowns were racing down "Mt Akina" i was keeping up at the back, and this dude pulled up next to me when we got to Chatswood, and goes "damn Skylines, our Holdens are just as fast hey?" n I pissed myself laffin.

Then wierdly enuff I went past both carlo and nick while goin to my friend's house in chatswood.

Well, was good to meet people & put faces to flippant forums comments :-)

Hopefully see you all at the next one (I'll find another convenient excuse, i'm sure)

(The hotel down the road is stonking, as long as you don't have to pay full rates!! :-D )

/me is currently newest SAU NSW member

Edit : And I want my sticker(s) NOW dammit :-)

I did start it sorry :D I'm just used to driving that road every day and overtaking the bus drivers at that exact spot. Force of habit - I usually drive very sensibly at meets/cruises hehe.

Mal your car has got a lot of grunt and i would love to line up against it at a proper venue one day soon. Never underestimate the ford turbo beast.

The Crystal car wash on Victoria Ave is ok - my line was washed/polished there on Thursday and they got it pretty clean pretty quick. Nothing special but yeah.

Im so up for the next meet though.

I really want to go to WSID and have a go down the 1/4, the only problem is launching the thing.

Need to get some advice from the GTS boys with manual RWD who run the 1/4 on launching.

    • 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?
