Hey camma, I need to know where the final destination is so I can pitch this to the journos. They are hard enough to sell sh*t to, they have to book crews and all kinds of crap so let me know asap.

Also who did you speak to at NCA? I think I might be able to help in that regard also.

Yea im with leigh....

Gravel carpark and nice cars dont mix..

Stickers are good, maybe on pub tuesday they can be given out.. and even on the day.

Although the more lines the better... but keeping the club seperate from outsiders would be good....incase they do something stupid... "There not with us"

Stevie the NCA have been contacted and I require a joint decision from them and the Museum before approval to use the car park can be provided. I spoke to the Venue and Bookings Coordinator on Wednesday and she was confident about providing an answer early next week.

Whats the plan with the Journos are they going to the meeting place or destination or both?

Heres a thought just for the SAU crowd, and this might be a bit early but should we all meet up before we go to starting place with the rest of the clubs. So as that we can all park in same area, and it would look cool. lol.

I will wait until you get a decision from the NCA and the Museum then once thats approved I can draft up a small release about the cruise and what charity the money wil be donated to etc... And then I will do a ring around and see if I can get WIN and the ABC to turn up ( this would give great local TV coverage) and the local papers might be interested too. Although I will say now, getting journos to come to anything is a struggle (funny how its impossible to keep them away when you dont want them around!)

The best we could hope for is some journos turning up at the museum. I will have to have a long chat to you as we get closer to the date to discuss the details.

camma on another forum:

OK, the ACT AFP have been informed and I have recieved a response.

An extract from the response....

"AFP - ACT Policing have no objections to the Charity Drive taking place on the 13th February 2005.

This is on the proviso that all conditions set by ACT Urban Services or

any other ACT Government Body are adhered to, any conditions set by any Federal Government Agency are to be adhered to."

and further...

"The responsibility for the running of the event rests with the event organisers, not the Australian Federal Police. It is the event organisers' responsibility to ensure that all officials involved in the event, along with those participating, spectating and the general public, are able to perform their business in a safe manner."

With that in mind I would like to advise that everyone who attends should drive in a safe manner, i.e. doesnt be a dickhead! I am now finding out what approval needs to be provided to become an "official event organiser".

And yep ALL funds raised will be going to the Red Cross.

Thanks mate.

As mentioned on my site I am still going through the approval process with the NCA and Museum to use the car park and have a meeting with the Venue and Bookings Coordinator to discuss logistics on Monday. Approval or otherwise will be provided on Monday. The destination will be the Cotter a map of the exact location will be provided closer to the date (once the meeting place is confirmed).

We currently have 11 clubs confirmed that they will be making an appearance. This is going to be a big meet.

Some clubs are thinking of going to the Kingo after the cruise so if your up for a few drinks, see you there!

It has now been confirmed. The NMA has approved use of teh carpark.

The museum carpark has been booked in for the 13th February from 10:00am to 11:00am. I will be there to co-ordinate where the cars are to parked for the meet before the drive.

Just a reminder that driving like a tard is not acceptable. Here is an example of what happens when drives go wrong...

With the cars people are bringing to the event we dont want anyone being stupid and damaging our prides and joy.

That said, should be a great drive and a big performance car meet for a good cause.

Stevie - are you able to do your thing with the media?

I just had a read of that thread and i hate to be a party pooper, but are we sure there will be enough room at the museum carpark? the posts in that thread keep saying that there wasn't enough space at the meetup point.

Just checking, is all - I'm really looking forward to this and you've done a great job camma. :rant:

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      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
