ouch.....lucky you didnt knock yourself out mate

With the number of times I have had these diffs out of cars my biggest fear was that it would drop it on my head and now it has happened. Luckily I wasn't using the pit so it only fell 30cm before hitting me not 1m like if I was in the pit. This is the first time that I had someone "lending a hand" and i think they pulled it off the sway bar which is why it dropped. so I think for now on I'll stick with doing it by my self

^^^ if they are on pillar and restricting vision they are a no go. but as far as i know guages are allowed anywhere aslong as they dont restrict any vision out the car.. hence why chad would have passed through regency

hmm Nissan got smart when they made my car :(

so i have a "fibre creations" nismo front bar that has no holes. I can get it paitned cheap, but i need to get it fitted, holes drilled and work done, then it gets painted and then i can fit it after painting. Do you think places like all type crash would bother with a small job like that? Any recommendations?

UNfkingBELIEVEABLE

SO I killed the cressida right, drove over 10kays with the needle on H, had the rattle of death going the whole time and also managed to cook the oil in it.

I topped up the oil/coolant today, turned the key and after a few lazy chugs, she fires up and settles to a reasonably good idle, given the previous abuse. I also drove it a further few kays with not a single problem (it hesitated slightly when moving off from a standstill on a steep hill).

I just can't fathom how it could take so much abuse and still run and drive like nothing happened. Fking 7M is damn near unbrakeable :(

When I first bought the R32 going on 8years ago the coolant temp sensor was dicky.. First summer engine temp went from 1/4 to half. I was wondering why the car would get really sluggy and on occasions stall and then not start until it would cool. Water would constantly blow out of the overflow.

Summer past; replaced the coolant temp sensor to realise it was constantly driving around on H. Maxed out the gauge. :S

It went on to clock another 100,000km's. ;)

    • 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.
