How about investing in a fluid flush at your next trans service? It may be that you have some crap floating around in the bottom of the transmission that is coming up to the valve body under high pressure (read high revs).

If you do it, ask the tech to make sure there are a couple of magnets in the bottom of the trans oil pan. They are valuable for picking up ferrous peices of muck that get into the oil, and it never ceases to amaze me how many people have them removed because they don't think they should be there.

just been for another drive but took it easy (no high revs) and found another problem. on the freeway when it changed to third gear at half revs it started to slip and had to back of to get grip. I think i got an idea of wats wrong , something to do with the bands slipping? thought i would have noticed some symptoms before yesterday though. is this going to be expensive to fix

they told me it is, or feels like the clutch packs and first and third share the same pack so thats why i mainly noticed it in third and not first. That warranty is comin in handy. covers up to 2000 and im getting them to do my valvebody while there at it :)

      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.
