depends on what sort of scene you are into??

Are you a fan of:

Pubs, live cover bands & sinking heaps of piss? Omalleys, gilhooleys, landsdowne road.

Listening to top40 sh!t with a million teenie boppers? the drink, shooters, rose & rown.

Droppin a few disco bikies and rolling all nite? platinum & quest (broadbeach).

Bleach1 - i went to Surfers one year for NYE .... its simple ... club it til 11:20 then head down to the beach .... where you'll see a sea of heads stretching as far as the eye can see and fireworkers etc.

Ok, i made it back from surfers. I ended up in between the rose and crown i think it was and the beach on new years. The weather was awesome the whole time and there was plenty of nice girls around and the skyline didnt miss a beat. I can see why so many of my friends have moved up to brisbane or the gold coast.

Ok a few things i noticed though.

1, Where were all the police on the road? The whole time i was up there i didnt see 1 speed camera, hardly any police cars cruising other than around the cavill area and cetainly no highway patrol cars. Maybe im just used to the millions of speed cameras/police cars on the road here in Sydney. (i try to avoid breaking on the law on the road anyway)

2, No drinking on the beach!@#$!@#$!#$ what? i can understand maybe at schoolies time but come on. You cant beat a few drinks on the beach in summer especially with the weather you get up there.

3, Where do people ger there licences from? I have never seen so many crashes on one stretch of road. (gold coast highway) There was a beauty at that chevron island intersection between a police car an a volvo on sat night.

and lastly what the hell is it with putt putt up there. They are everywhere! im guessing the whole tourist factor.

4, I SAW FUEL FOR 79c, WTF?

Anyway i had good fun up there and thanks for the advice.

I was also quite suprised at the lack of speed cameras/rbt's on the raod through the christmas break. I did a good 100k's a day and didn't see one RBT (cept christmas eve and the wankers were making a traffic jam onto the freeway so they had to keep letting heaps of cars througH) and the odd cop car. Christmas night we drove from Mt Gravatt to Brownsplains and back without seeing one cop car. New Years Eve I saw two cop cars and they were on a main road just driving. Watching the news however, there were more drink drivers this year than last, but less road deaths. Weird.

I went through a speed camera yesterday (is yesterday still classed as the holiday period?) on Ferry Road/Bermuda Street. Not sure if it flashed me but I was a little (read 10k's) over the limit. Andrew reckons I was too far away for it to have flashed at me. It was heavy traffic too.

But yeah, the cops must have been somewhere if they caught so many drink driving (wankers!)

    • 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?
