Jack, one of my mates pulled out - and he knows the pres quite well... we're hoping that we can swap him for Troy as a favour...

Will keep you posted if we can get any more places

:)

Thanks mate!!!!

Hey Jack, looks like a full field for Sunday - 95 cars.

We were lucky with a mate of mine pulling out so Troy could beg/steal/borrow a place...

Sorry couldn't help you out, but if you're around the area pop down and say hi!

:P

Thanx anyway mate... Yeah will come down and have a look anyway....

Oh yeah and Troy you better bust out a 1:25!

LOL...well im not going to PI on Saturday just so i can get a minute to check over the car. There isnt a Nissan Dealer in Melb with a new master cylinder, only seal kits.

So just need to change gearbox and diff fluids on Saturday. New windscreen tomorrow, hopefully boost controller sorted on Friday night, and machine rotors on Friday, perhaps even reco the master cylinder if i can convince Race brakes thats the problem:)

As for 1:25s ill be driving the wheels off the car trying, it will be piss funny if i get there. More realistic i think is 1:27s though as i have never been there.

But 1:25s or 1:35s ill be laughing my a55 off and most likely giggling myself stupid as i knock out laps on what im excpecting to be the best track in the country:thumbsup:

I'll be down to cheer everyone on.

Jack - if you prefer I can just bring your wheels on Sunday instead of doing it on Sat?

Also Roy - if you like I can come with you in the morning passenger session and try and give you some pointers on the track. There are a few "landmarks" that can help you improve your times around here.

That would be tops if you could mate...im a real slow learner and have to really build confidence slowly, if you can help me out with lines, gears and braking points then thats saving 10laps of farking it all up before i start to get it right:(

Beers Sunday night will be on me:thumbsup:

Andrew - looks like I missed out on this session, spewing hard!!!! Oh well u snooze u lose!!!!

If you can bring em down on Sunday that will be great, I'm bringing the truck 'just in case' something goes wrong with other cars there... :wassup:

Biggest thanks possible to Marcus and Steve for getting my foot in the door for this one. The wet sessions were good fun, especially as it started to dry out...so much more confident in the afternoon in the damp/drying conditions...i was over driving the car something chronic but it was so much FUN!!!:D

All in all the best day at the track i can ever remember , i love Sandown, it was everything i hoped....i couldnt shut up all day ;)

A good day, I missed the rain part as I had to be elsewhere but the silver R32 GTR sounded like a JET down the main straight - awesome!

Also a very neat burgandy R33 with Holotype R rims and P plates. You had two mates standing with you just as you lined up for the track entry :P

Overall some very neat cars present.

That must have been Roy's 32GTSt... wasn't any silver 32Rs there or was I suffering heat stroke?

    • 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?
