So where are the pics of you Batsuman and Tarzan dude? :)

A highlight of the day was of course the drive...me not waking up on time and thus rushing to the event. Nothing like cold fresh mountain air - boost cruziiiiing :).

I stayed on 140 most of the way over, but with so many GT cars travelling together on the highway it was just too hard to stay under :). Justin had a bit of fun with a black Altezza ;)...so much that he miss the exit!

----

Me: what's he doing? we've got to exit!

Glenn: (funny fark counting down towards the exit) 500m, 400m, 300m, 200m, 100m...

Me: (fiddling with the mobile trying to call Justin, but at the speed we were crusing at, the exit came and gone before I could even dial), dude we missed the exit.

Justin: we did!

Me: OK next exit is Mimasaka.

Disclaimer: driving at high speeds and trying to operate a mobile is not recommended by untrained professionals.

On the way back it was painfully slow the last 15km due to roadworks...curse them for working on a Sunday night argh!

The Hakusuka was by far the main highlights of the day for me...f**k me dead they are so beautiful and so many of them. I'm sure Glenn will agree, the majority of our photos are KPCG10!

I'll have my pics up later in the day or tonight...

Yes very disappointing there weren't many RQs :D I guess it was just too cold...

Yes, the drive there was half the fun! I'm glad I could cruise out there with you Troy... seeing as it'll probably be the last time down the Chugoku expressway for you. Nice drive.

And I gotta say: Damn! Those old Skool Skylines RULE! :(

Dave, the Hakusoka are the goods mate...never will I see so many in the one place at the one time.

My favourite also are the March Cup cars...but unfortunately we missed the race. The cars were driven by many big time drivers. With all the cars the same power, it was only skill that can help them win the race!

Wow Rezz those pictures are amazing, glad to see you snapped a variety of cars that most can only ever dream of seeing, the HKS ZERO R and Tomica DR30 come to mind.

Great pictures mate.

also I see you met Raman Yamada, from what i have been told he is quite a character :(

Raman?!?! Yamada

Eiji Yamada you mean, yes he is a real character also met him at OAM ... Tarzan may know how to swing from tree to tree, Tarzan can drive like no other, but Tarzan know NO how to drift a work trolley :(:).

Exculsive pics ;) after closing at OAM!

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
