awesome photo's TurboX. Amazed that you took photos and drove haha

Missfiring car (could be ignition module) + vibrating steering wheel (wheel balance) + car pulling to the left (wheel alignment) wasnt very fun to drive and wasnt keen on pushing it. Hence i was left off somewhere in the back haha

I think at one point i would have missed a turn if TurboX didnt slow down for the turn, not sure if that was intentional or not but you saved me getting lost (again) cheers :)

looks like a good cruise. I was planning on making it but, at least i've got a good excuse!

just came back from Adelaide with a new addition to the family :)

for me was a long cruise, but pretty boring with all the highway piggies around :)

Mav, the work wagon it was.. :-)

Patrick , if you mean the last turn almost to go up the mountain, your right - I would not have realised either, so hung back for you.

BTW you were not doing to bad, you kept up to me, but I was having trouble keeping with Tharaka! :rolleyes:

Some more memories..

haha ye i noticed that, thanks for that :rolleyes: Car couldnt be pushed due to missfire+wheel alignment :)

Your new car has some quick acceleration there, noticed it in a few places where you pulled away quick and left my rb20 in the dust :thumbsup:

Yeah its amazing the difference I notice with my GTS4 between the RB20 Torque Miser and the AMG V8 5.5 Torque Monster! :thumbsup:

If you have to compromise with the missus, its the way to go!

Especially the fact its silent and she doesnt notice the speed near as much! :)

Last of my pics....

      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.
