yes i have thought about the gearbox and drive train. ill be going with a extreme triple plate clutch + flywheel to match.

due to the boost being progressive and not aggressive like a turbo, it dosent put as much stress on it, and there fore will actually be able to handle the power, aslong as i am not being stupid and driving it crazly hard, like you would on the track for example.

with a good clutch you're more likely to smash the box i think! but are you going for a lightweight flywheel? i'm not sure about supchargers but going lightweight on a turbo is ok because it's got the top end to pull it through the rev range, but a lightweight flywheel on a n/a is not a good idea. i have experienced it and it looses speed going up hills :wacko:

You'll want an upgraded gearset/gearbox probably, as well as a diff and possibly tougher tailshaft ;P

-D

ok i might sound a little bit rude here but i have spoken to the proffessionals when it comes to this stuff and they have told me what to upgrade etc especially when it comes to the gearbox and what not so i dont need anyone telling me what i need to get done lol ive sorted it all out :wacko:

    • 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.
