Absolutely. And time to drive them! I bet that GT3 is fun. Totally a fave of mine.

Bah. Let me fix.

I'm an everything fanboy. I seem to want one of every car atm. If only I was a middle eastern prince. Unfortunately, cars are a little lower on my priorities than they used to be. Just moved house and have a daughter going into fricken year ten and another in year 7. Its all doing my head in.

Eastern suburbs? Yikes, what happened to you?!?

I am. In Elanora Heights. Where are you ?

Where else would we be? Browsing SAU of course.

Yeah I'm absolutely not driving it as well as it could be driven and I was thinking that because I have the turn in so good now, then I need to do something to my own actions through the corner. I'm off the brakes as quickly as I can be, I try to get the car to correct speed before I start turning in but that doesn't always happen. I can pull up really well at the end of the Wakefield main straight and be turning in with foot on accelerator but I'm not as clean at the end of the back straight and this final corner is one of the ones I struggle with grip the most.

Thanks guys! It's funny how you can overthink things. I had never considered that my fronts may be too small. The rears are 17x8.5 with 255s and some other e90 owners have seen good results from another pair of rears with 255s on the front. This might be a good option so I'm going to swap fronts and rears for a few days and make sure everything clears. I do also think I may have hit the limit of the rs4s but the next step up is a lot more pricey. The front bar is not adjustable so I'll leave that for now. Diff is a single spinner unfortunately 🙁 @bcozican car is an 06 330i. M3 front arms (-1.5 camber), Whiteline front and rear bars, Whiteline rear subframe inserts (seem to really only add nvh), Bilstein shocks and eibach Springs.

That's brilliant. Can't help but appreciate the work put into this. Should leave the bonnet closed though. 🤢

Great post. Thanks!

Hi guys, Had another Wakefield day a few weeks ago, I've done a little bit of suspension work and managed to pick up 2.9s which was great! But! Although my turn in is now really good my mid corner grip stinks with heavy understeer and really is the weakness in the car. Corner exit speed is much lower than I'd like and I'm struggling to get enough drive out which is important considering my car really is not fast. I've been told a few theories for this: My wheels are staggered. 245 rear and 225 front. Next suggestion is because the rear had 15mm spacers and front none, so the track wasn't square. Is this likely to cause much mid corner upset? Surely I'd be feeling this on corner entry also? My personal feel is that the Hankook rs4s are at their limit and I may need to start alternating hot and cold laps.

Wow, it looks great! I was thinking of buying that back in the day when it parked next to me at the sns. Nick beat me to it. 😫

Another skyline. Hands down. If it were me, given your requirements and maybe also the ease of maintenance in another country, I'd have to go with a chaser. In whatever trim you can afford. Or, a Toyota Celsior (Lexus lx400) as they are really starting to gain in appreciation. The perfect weekly/daily combo I reckon.

Sorry didn't see your reply. Sounds good! What is on your ECU short list?

@Duncan @Mlads33PM'd you re errors.

Oh and I just remembered, a while back Brakes Direct offered all subscribers to their newsletter a free bottle of brake fluid! haha, jokers... Never arrived. Bit off a little more than they could chew that day. 🤣

So seems like the customer service doesn't match the product quality? Sounds like they are great brakes in the end but man, I am not down for having to deal with difficult people.

100%

Brilliant! That will be a great project.

Did you do the powder coating? They look great.

Hi and welcome! The R33 looks pretty clean. Its unusual to see a Gtst in the States (at least for me) most of the Skylines seem to be GTRs. Zed looks good, I dig the calipers - are they just the factory brembos?

How's roadworthy going?

Welcome Bird! This is gonna be awesome. Two of my fave things: RBs and classic zeds. Can't wait to follow along!

Yes we absolutely can! I can auto lock topics in classifieds older than x days. I'll sort this out this week.
