I was once told if I drove onto the red part again I would be disqualified for the rest of the meet by an ANDRA official while trying to drive around the water box.

I then watched the same official *not* warn dozens of others do the same thing. Wierd.

I used to just drive around the water, but then they freshly painted the red/blue section and now they throw a major fit if you try and drive around it. Hell even if I just drive thru the water and stop (rather than sitting in the water) they give all sorts of death stares!

I've seen many cars drive round the water in the past, although admittedly I was probably paying more attention to the cars racing or to the other car doing their burnout then to whether or not they were getting told off by one of the officials.

From what the guys are saying, it sounds like a bit of a 'no no' so i'd probably recommend driving through the water and just try to spin the water off the tyres as you get the all clear to do your burnout and move to the start line.

Or, perhaps ask one of the officials - although it wouldn't surprise me if you got 3 different answers from 3 different people :)

Good luck :)

Just not going to happen guys, I have almost finished the car now... but not enough time to pack it up and get down there... plus probably got another hour to go with this work... oh well.

I'm going to plan to head out on the 30th of August for a hit out. The new turbo will be going on shortly after that. this is of course provided I don't break anything next weekend in Tassie.

Good luck guys, I'll get there again one day!

Cheers,

Dan.

apparently it was the flywheel. the commentators said that it exploded and left a 2in hole in the track.

although i dont know how much i could trust them seeing as they were calling all the skylines gtrs

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
