Parent's have been bugging me for idea's on things to get me for christmas and after a bit of thnking i thought a helmet would be a good idea as i need one if i wanna do the track day in January. Now it has to be ADR approved and reasonably cheap, i also want one thats open faced (better for vision in my opinion) now the only place i can think of off the top of my head is autosport on magill rd. Is there anywhere else thats possibly better priced?

Cheers in advance!

I bought mine at Gepps Cross Kart Mania - about $100. It is full face though - not sure if they have part face or not.

You might want to check, but I thought for Lala you have to have full face - it is a fire safe thing.

Any good motorcycle place will sell them. Make sure you try lots of different ones as different brands will fit you differently (thats a lot of different's) i find that Shoei's have always fitted my head the best so thats all I buy.

Also how much is your head worth? I personally would never get a cheaper brand even if they do meet ADR's but i ride motorbikes so i'm sure a helmet just for track days in a car a 100 dollar jobby would be fine.

    • 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.
