Richard, I don't think you trod on any toes, I was just explaining why there was no OFFICAL dinner. As you know ANY member is more than welcome to organise ANY event that gets people together. :P

Hi Manu,

We have a regular monthly dinner held on the last thursday of the month. This month, as the last thursday falls on 30/12 and is smack in the middle of holidays near NYE we hadn't really organised one. I'm still keen for a dinner though, it seems Duncan will be in for 30th and Carlo will too, so if you would like to come as always anyone is welcome.

I feel kind of bad as I didn't mean to cause any problems. So i'll leave it here: On 30/12 at 7:30pm I'll be having dinner at Bella Mia in Roseville. This place is a truly excellent italian restaurant and the service is top notch. It's not an official SAU dinner meet, but I'd love to see any of you guys there that want to come for a nice meal, few beers and a chat. So far it looks like me Carlo and Duncan.

If you're going to do it anyway it may as well be a club function, so consider it so. :P

Thanks mate :P

The december dinner lives!

Anyway guys, I promise that the food in this place will not dissapoint.

Will you be in for this one? It's a chance to check out the new luxo-barge that is our Active sorarer. Sonic cleaning mirrors and hydraulic suspension are not to be missed.

Unlikely as family commitments clash.

lol @ sonic mirrors and hydro :bahaha:

You NEED to find a controller for that suspension :uh-huh:

for the sake of Formality this will be an official SAU NSW Club Dinner as per the dinenrs weve held in previous months on the last thursday of the month.

Thanks

tell me about it. R-spec make one, but apparently it's meant for the 'regular' air-bag soarers, not the active hydraulic ones and needs some adaptation to work (plus it costs $600). one day...

yep

    • 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?
