*** Tsunami Cruise for Charity. Combined Club Mega-Cruise ***


Recommended Posts

Now, I know that this is offically the wron place to put this thread, but I think the cause is large enough to warrant a special exemption.

In response to the recent disaster and the ongoing need for international support, the Victorian Car Enthusiasts community has expressed a desire to help out. Well, here it is.

Skylines Australia, Commodore Cruise Club and (insert your club name here) would like to invite you to one of Victoria’s biggest cruise’s yet.

Date: 13th February, 2005

Time: 11:30 am for a 1:30 departure

Location: Manhattan Hotel Car park

Crn Canterbury Road and Heatherdale Road Vermont.

Enter from Heatherdale road.

Destination: T.B.A on the day.

Maps $10 with all monies going to the Red Cross

On the day there will be BBQs and media coverage.

This event is being supported by the Red Cross of Australia.

Currently, almost every car club in Victoria has been contacted to support the cruise.

THIS IS A DISPLAY CRUISE; ABSOLUTELY NO STUPID BEHAIVER WILL BE TOLERATED. This is a chance to show that we aren’t all bad.

So shine em up, and bring em out.

Have a look at some of Victoria’s best looking cars all together for this great cause.

Will definately be there, with my very stock Stagea (K&N Filter though)

Due to various reasons, Commodore Cruise Club and Skylines Australia must change the nature of the Charity Event being held on the 13th of February 2005.

We are unable to run a mass cruise as such due to legal, liability and logistical reasons. There aren’t many places that hold 1000 cars at once!

We will therefore be changing the event to a SHOW AND SHINE where everyone will be able to meet and greet and check out some serious metal.

The Manhattan will still be the venue for this event and we will still be running a BBQ and having a great time.

The Australian Red Cross will still be involved and all donations go straight to them.

We will be at the Manhattan for a bit longer, probably until about 4pm which gives everyone more time to check out all the cars and bikes in attendance.

Everything is the same as before, we will just not be able to go on a mass cruise.

HOWEVER, each car club is encouraged to run their own cruise from the Manhattan leaving at about 4pm.

As said above, we can still cruise, but just not as a huge mass.

Commodore Cruise Club and Skylines Australia will be cruising on from this event on their own cruises to various locations.

We still want this to be an event which will be a huge success for the Tsunami Appeal and during the next two weeks, we will be adding difference things to the day to make it just as much fun.

We encourage each car club to cruise TO the Manhattan, so start organizing your “pre-meets” and cruises to the Show and Shine.

Again, apologies for the change in event type but this will still be a huge event to don’t stop polishing those rides!!

Cheers

Did you manage to get a word in to the officer you met with about DEFECTING people that attend or as they leave.... and B4 anyone starts saying "well if you drive an illegally modded car you deserve it" I know for a fact that alot of you have aftermarket computers / non padded centre steering wheels (DEFECTABLE) and what not in your cars. Anyways by the time this event kicks off I will be 100% legal ;-). I bought a padded centre yesterday (may I say it's farken hard as a rock!)

Sorry to be a stick in the mud but just being extra parinoid.

the words the the senior seargent used was 'just dont all stand there with your bonnets up when we walk past"

Cheers...

My hood is shut the whole day! It's got a really dirty engine :) no way I'd open it at a show and shine ;)

This event is being supported by the Red Cross of Australia.

Is this still going ahead?

The Red Cross have stopped taking donations for this cause now. :headspin:

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
