Hi guys.

I am getting married in September. So, for my last act of rebellion against the dreaded ball and chain (wha..? no baby, i was kidding. No really! No, don.....*slap* ow) I am having a week long road trip directly before my wedding.

This will have a full itinerary designed by myself and a premier Targa Tasmania navigator. Actually, he is the guy who writes the rally notes for Targa Tasmania and virtually every other road event in Tassie. So, it should be great.

I am hoping to have the itinerary done soon, so people can grab a copy of it. This will allow people to join either for a couple of hours or the whole week, as our position will be itemised in the itinerary.

If I could get a little feedback as to how many people I could look at getting down here. It will be running from 20-27 September. I dont need definites, just expressions of interest....

Feel free to post back with any feedback.... my email is [email protected] as well.

Thanks

Slaz....

Cruise is postponed.

We have postponed the wedding until January, so the cruise shall be moved accordingly. If this interests anybody, even slightly, just get in contact with me. I assure fun for all, and a great bunch of awesome roads. So far, Squizz is the only one who has shown interest on this site. C'mon guys, I don't smell that badly do I? And I don't bite. Much. Just nibble, heheh.....

If anyone has any ideas regarding logistics or events during the cruise, PM me, reply to this thread or email me at [email protected]. Even if two people turn up, this cruise will be going ahead.....

Thanx guys......

September was a definate no go for me , January is a distinct posibility. Depends on my wife's schedule. we would both love to do it, I will chat her up and get back to you in a couple of days :(

Need definate dates as soon as possible

hi my dad has done it 7 times and he loves it.

it is a great event to do and also a great corse if your not entering the event.

the only problem with the event is the cost of hom much it is to enter.

it costs 4 grand for each person to enter that is not including the car.

umm, if you read the title this was going to be January 2003. Not sure if it happened though.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive 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?

    • 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
