Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

just got back from uni snow trip 08 :D was awesome

never snowboarded before but moto for the week stolen from T Hawk was Go Hard or Go Home

hits

180, method grab (pics to come from someone else on the trip as my cam sucked n i fogot to bring the sd card)

misses well could call em hits to

lesson 1, dont place your leg behind the binder on the snow board when leaving the ski lift, slope go's up chair comes down leaving your leg jammed between feeling like it may break if something else dosnt give

lesson 2 when your friend boots it off before you do not overcook it trying to catch up, leaves me catching the wrong edge of the board and hitting the back of my head followed by the front. i couldnt see properly for 10min and had a headache for the next 2 days :D not to worry i kept bording

note this is the 2nd hit on the front here in the pic, lucky i had contacts in and no goggles on, it was also joked about the previous day i was the most likely to get injured :P

nissan sponsership deals on this mountain, i thought the 1st instructor was a nissan fan but then i realised they all had the same jacket with mt hotham written on it aswell. most people had subaru's there so i guess it aint working for nissan.

yeah they had heaps of other 1s but they all said the pajero or some other nissan that i don't know started with m no doubt some sort of 4wd.

unfortunately stealing them is not possible unless you wanna climb the pole covered in ice with some wire cutters

2points to dohmar for spotting it was hotman, shoulda got a pic of this huge mt hotman writing in the snow people made looked awesome but as i said no pics for me :)

hopefully 1 of the other snap happy uni students got it

Yeah, massive rash on the other rims, thats a good rim! I'll grind out the rash at work then get them repainted, then they will look sweet :down:

please dont say those are the ones that are in the forsale section from psyco?

isnt it better off porting the old manifold then buying a new one? Pretty sure Matt (boostedR) was saying that stainless tend to crack and wont flow much more then porting a standard one.

i tig welded for 4 years so cracks dont bother me, cracks are usually because alot of manifolds aren't gusseted, wall thickness and penetration of welds. I got it really cheap so i dont really mind lol...its more of an experimental thing rather than chasing more power..

      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.
