Wasted Sunday night

Port Lincoln this Thursday.

Saturday night was the worst.

Started drinking at like 7pm.

Left town at roughly 6:15am... well, whenever the sun was coming up, as I was still out the front of Reds :D

But what a night. My mate got kicked out of 6 clubs ;) the only place that'd let him in on Hindley street was Strats.

So how was everyone's Easter? :D

On Wednesday my partner and I headed off to Port Lincoln, Stayed in Cowell overnight and had an awesome snitty and got pissed with locals and some friends from Whyalla who were there.

Got to Lincoln, ate lots of food, drank lots of beer and wine, Jetski, Tubes, Sharkwater and goodtimes till I got home Sunday.

On the Friday our friend got a flat tyre so we lent him ours, went out to the beach, can you believe WE then got a flat tire from a screw! So typical. All good tho, mate's dad owns the wreakers and hooked us up with one.

I hate to admit I very much enjoy driving the 6 speed V8, especially with the raor from the twin exhaust.

Nothing like a new 6.2ltr ute running around when GMH suppliers run out mufflers!

there might be when the 6.4ltr comes out next year and the 6.6ltr the year after. just make it 10ltr and be done with it already :P

No Dale its easy enough though to make gtr manifolds fit though would need to look in the maintainence thread

Cheers,

I'll have a look. At this stage the CA will be pensioned off unless i can't get what i'm after for it (which knowing cheap ass CA owners i won't) and i'll be going RB25 with a set of R34 GTR turb's and GTR intake, looking for around 280-300.

no 26/30 dale?

That's the next 180. Next year once a start working as an engineer i will start that project but it will be a ground up build for a bare shell. Once i start building the engine then this 180 will be sold with whatever engine it is running at the time. But nothing will be spared on that engine, including a dry sump setup, CNC ported head, full crank girdle (crank case to main cap to crank case) etc, etc.

With the CA i'm at the point where i need to rebuild it if i want to make any more power, i can do it for around 3k and it will make 260rwkw; or i can sell it fit a 25 and put the 3K into that and make near 300kw. But like i said if i don't get the right money for the CA i'll just rebuld that and be happy with 260.

My gf's business partner has just got a Calais V with the new cylinder de-activation and this thing sounds like V6 Alloytec, bit disappointing.

    • 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.
