Yeh it was a good drive, inspection went great the car is in great condition. It was all good untill the buyer started getting second thoughts on the car(supposedly). We agreed on a price of $38,500 before i left and the was delivered as described then he decides he is not interested at that price and low balls me at $35,000. I literally told him to go f*&k himself, he kept coming up with things that he would want to change on the car as its not how he wants it which were all personal preference items.

Anyway i made him pay me for expenses and we parted ways, i had been offered $37,000 before i put the OS Giken gearbox in just last week. Anyway, having put myself between a rock and a hard place, their were events that i wanted to be home for last night so i bit the bullet and took $35,500. Anyway we complete the deal for which i had driven from Adelaide and he refuses to drive me to the airport, long story short $100 taxi ride, missed plane and there were no more flights direct or connecting for the rest of the evening. So $90 accomodation and another plane fair this morning and my sale price was really starting to hit home

So in conclusion, i have learned to never put myself between a rock and a hard place again. I had been offered more from other parties but i became impatient and just wanted the car gone. In the end it was a shit experience from which i have learned alot and will never allow myself to be stung by underhanded tactics again.

That's crap. :teehee: When i bought my car from a fellow sau'er in victoria, i deposited $500 bucks into his account straight away (sight unseen), he drove it from victoria to adelaide, i paid for his ticket back, and we set a fixed price before he left (no negotiation)..he came to regency with me, it past inspection then did the cash swap at the bank, then dropped him off in the city... couldn't have been more straight forward and we were both happy.

Guess that's what you get with dodgy people.

    • 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.
