Just wondering if anyone had been today and if it was worth while?

I can't talk from experience of being there, but got a message from a mate that reckons some of the dyno runs were interesting. Some 200sx putting out over 400rwkw and an R34 about 288rwkw

I guess your friend didnt stick around to see the R34 (CRD's RH9) to go on to make 600+ atw :(. If all goes well for Sunday they're planning to run again this time with the giggle gas on.

edit: That 200SX (S15) would've been GT Autosounds drag car.

Went an had a look today, didn't mind it i guess. Enjoyed having a look at the various small club displays & the couple of drift cars. Tend to appreciate them more as their driven/thrashed, compared to trailer queens. :thumbsup:

Not really worth $18 tho i thought, bit steep but hey. :dry:

ronny (owner of lushes) is actually a really nice guy, dunno what you guys are talking about though.

MYSHOW S15 was the roughest show car on the scene the car was hardly a "show car" IMO it was more of a slap together.

It's not a R34 it's a R32 with the R34 front

WTF are you smoking?

I saw an R33 with an R34 front? Was all by it's lonesome self. Would have cost abit however. Was a few nice cars there, didn't see too much on the dyno as 1) wasn't enough 'seeing' positions (put some proper stands up would have been a good idea), 2) took a little long to setup and switch

      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.
