Thanks for all the kind comments people, I really appreciate it. It couldn't have been done without all the people mentioned in the inital post. It does take a whole team to get a car to this point. It's almost impossible to do all of it yourself and I'm very proud be surrounded with so many people with the same passions as I do.

4x4 power slide, id hate to try and control that for the first time if u didnt know what you were doing

Did u end up finding out who put the silicon on the tread?  

Hehe. 4x4 slides are cool. Believe it or not, what you saw in the carpark was my 2nd time I did it....The first was when I was taking the car to Ice after tuning on Friday :( Let me tell you that it is a weird feeling when all 4 wheels break traction :)

No, I never found out who siliconed the tread but we got there anyways despite the setbacks. I'm happy with that.

what quarter mile time would you get running? how about 0-100?

Not sure what my times will be. Last I ran on the strip, it did a 11.5@124 Mph on Falcan Azinis and a slipping clutch. It also only had 370 Rwkw.

Now that I have Nittos, a triple plate clutch and a tough g/box, I too am interested in the times this car will make.

0-100 was measured at 3.4 secs with a stopwatch in the car. That was with 365 Rwkw.

is this Dave that usually hang around Benny's house before BMT moved to the other side?

Negative on that one. The first time I met Benny was at MAS. He is one of the most genuine guys I have ever met and once again I must thank him and the BMT crew for their help during the show. I can do a BBQ though :D

Dave... I say we have a celebratory BBQ and you can be chef for the day :) if the barbie dun work we can use Golgo to cook the shit... Nah seriously when the car is all done, let me know and I'll organise a day for all the SAU ppl to come and worship/pay homage to it.

    • 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.
