so you managed to pull that stuck tie rod out?

yes it was fckn hard as you could imagine. My dont have extra cash for a full respray but would like one, labour is what i dont have to pay for. btw weather effects the drying time i would assume right sam, even in a spray booth?

the biggest whether related problem in a spray booth is humidity, but we dont get too much of that, so all is good :D

im thinking of doing a backyard job. obviously my backyard aint really a backyard but my gf has a open enviroment which would be ideal to spray the car. ideas ideas, plans plans.....

wouldnt recommend painting in the open, i hate the idea of stuff landing in the paint. minimum compressor req. is 50ltr tank and 3hp, they retail at about $900, plus all the rest. i'll try and help you out if i can

im sure the equipment ie air pressure machine and spray gun, can be hired. all that i really need is some practice and the paint. i aint after a michelangeo piece of art, just something that looks decent.

lemme know when you go ahead with it and all, i'll give you some pointers

    • 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.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
