I will be there to watch and support Vic SAU members.

Is there a group cruising up in the morning?

Would make for a good cruise, open roads crisp cool air and no traffic at that time of the morning.

Jason.

Skyline Challenge (All RWD & 4WD Skylines except GT-R, Turbo and Non-Turbo)

Which skyline is this for???

any RWD or 4WD skyline, turbo or non

except a GT-R, they have thier own class

GT-R Challenge (R32-R34)

Ill be there, plus a cousin with his r32 and a friend with his r31

Can other people enter with any cars? Such as a ford or holden?

:(

No the event is open to Nissan and Datsun vehicles only.

R31Nismoid is also correct regarding what is allowed in the Skyline class.

Also the event will probably go for longer than what has been advertised on the event flier. We are thinking that it will go to 6-7pm, it depends on the number of cars entered.

Early next week I'll be looking to try and get some sort of rough figure on the number of cars planning to enter the event.

Thanks guys :(

Hi guys

Put me down, Ill sail the whale down and see what she can pull :D

BTW - if ANYONE has stock skyline 16s with/without tyres and are willing to lend/sell for cheap- LET ME KNOW cos I dont have faith with the low profile 265s, wont get enuff squat!

Regards

Kim

Thanks for the interest in the event guys.

Less than two weeks to go, shaping up to be a great event.

Can potential entrants please pm me or email me (contact @ mazdarotary.net) or reply here for those who haven't already, showing their interest so that we can get a rough idea of the number of entrants in total and the number of entrants for each class.

If you are >80% sure of entering thats close enough

All I need sent to me is a one line message saying 'yes i am going to enter, and i drive a nissan skyline" for example... no need for other details (name etc ...)

Payment/Entry is on the day as well for those who were wondering.

Thanks :D

Hey, ill be there but i was just wondering what i should do about tyres?

Right now ive got Hankook K104s 265/35/18 on it, but i have my standard wheels sitting around and they have some pretty worn out Bridgestone Turanza's 225/55?/16.

Do u think if i run my 265s i will wear em out too much and would they actually be good for the day?

Thanks, Mike

:rofl:

    • 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?
