Hello fellow SA skyline enthusiasts....Looking forward to meeting and cruising in the near future.

A bit about my ride.......

1997 S2 Skyline GTST Cherry Red 5 Speed which i've owned for 6 months now.

UPGRADES AND RESULTS

1st Dyno cat back and pod 152rwkw

2nd Dyno as above plus 3 inch dump and hi flow cat 171rwkw

3rd Dyno as above plus Blitz FMIC 188rwkw

All the above dyno's were done at Aussie Dyno and Exhausts on Port Rd Hindmarsh.I'm pretty happy with the results so far and am thinking of purchasing a stand alone computer in the near future.

Cheers

Lee

hey mate,

welcome, looks like your 33 has some good power there hehe

Thanks mate i was a bit dissapointed at first but it didn't take much to get it going... I was expecting too much from a virtually standard car (cat back only when i bought it).Next on the shopping list is a decent computer injectors pump and turbo...I'm hoping eventually to have 250-270 streetable rwkw's.Definately struggles a bit with traction in first even with 265 rubber.

Cheers

Lee

Sounds like tou have suspension problems then, or at the very least "budget" tyres. Spend some money on good tyres and your traction should improve.

Only under spirited take offs does it loose traction.Tyres are Bridgestone Potenzas albeit nearly down to the wear marks.

does your car have the standard suspension in it neway?

When i bought the car i was told it had lowered suspension but i'm a bit sceptical (not sure what the standard measurements are).I know i had the front shocks replaced as the left front was knocking.Definately no coilovers etc.

      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.
