Hey Boys and Gurlies :)

I need some help, Im getting all painted, and kitted up for autosalon, But unfortuantly im going to be running low of money after all of that is done... i have lil 17's that i think are abig let down to the nice bodywork im getting done, and no where near enuf money to be able to buy a set of rims. So i was wondering, would i possibley be able to borrow some nice person's 18's or 19's just for the show... :D The rims wont be driven on because te car is getting trucked to the venue, so no stress about curb rash or burnouts, wich i wouldnt do anyways...

I'll even say pritty pritty please, and buy you half a carton of watever... oh and lots of huggs haha :)

my number is 0424933728 and im Kels, if any1 could help me out, i would much appreciate it!

Thanks heaps!!!

what about a full carton?

lol i'll try and find some for you Kels... i might be entering myself seeing as though i'm doing paint and panel work too... if i don't make it in time you can have my 18''s for the weekend... they should be painted black with a polished lip by then... they'll look like this;

never know though you might be able to find some nicer ones... what exactly is getting done though?

i know you're getting that kit from Fibrevision but come on, don't be so 'top secret' with us and fill me in lol

A very low skyline on 17s still looks hot, with 17s you can lower the car further just for the auto salon. Do you have adjustable coilovers by any chance should you not be able to source some 18's?

Nah i dont :D i was thinking, oh ill just lower the car, but then my bill for paint came in :( I dunno my 17's are in imac condition, no curb rash or anything, i just dont think they'll do the car justice on the day... thats why ive opted for 18's, atleast there a bit bigger... lol...

    • 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.
