Hi all

In Sydney this week. It's sunny. Will go through all PMs and orders when I return on Thurs. Using dialup at the moment - a world of suck.

Oh yeah...

Hume run in a GTR is mostly great. Melb to Aulbury is fantastic. Aulbury to Gundagai sucks. Gundagai to Sydney is wonderful. Some bumps are not designed for hard suspension, and Sydney speedhumps are too high. My nice new front lip is looking a bit battered ;)

Experienced the HICAS sleep-mode. Sat happliy on 120 (speedo) and didn't get pinged once. Exhaust drone is fine. Premium fuel is readily available - but only getting 400-450 to a tank.

Have a fun week ;)

Albury - Gundagai is that beyatch of a road that narrows down to 1 lane each way... god I hate that bit.

I reckon Melb - Albury is the bestest road in melb. Even more fun when you're being chased by a copper in a GTO ;)

Sounds good :(

I am cruising up through there next week, also going on to coffs harbour and then brisbane, after sydney. Unfortunately I am not going in my car. Taking 2 work cars ~ free fuelage :P

Will be good to checkout these roads in a 'normal-comfy- car first perhaps. Then do the trip again with my car ;)

Drove my car to Canberra, for the summernats (entrant). Early january, with no aircon (wolf 3d bug, know fixed :P), windows open, and no stereo as it was useless due to wind and exhaust noises.

The drive was still pleasant, and not too harsh.

Karina - got it - thanks

slywpn - only just got back from Sydney. Have replied now :)

Everyone who hasn't paid... I need to get payment from you BEFORE I pick up the shirts. This is simply for cashflow reasons. I can meet people on Monday and/or Tuesday night (I need to go out to BMT on Monday - so can meet me there) or we can arrange somewhere for Tuesday. Ilive/work pretty close to the city.

If you are only able to pay when you receive the goods - is fine. You can come with me to pick up the shirts. I just don't want to be left quite out of pocket like last time.

EFT is still the best way to pay. Embrace technology :P

I have updated the payment chart too:

    • 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.
