another new thread for a new arrival to the country.

After 4 months of waiting I finally saw and drove my new 99 RS stagea tonight. And omg it's so awesome lol.

I work in the new car industry, holden and mazda, and compared to anything new by them, this feels so much better to drive! its so smoothe and comfortable. Mind you I'm coming from a background of owning R31s, but yeah.

I'll get pics up asap. It's only standard, complete with moulded mudflaps, but it's mint, bar some rust under the mirrors on the doors, and a couple of bumper scrapes.

just thought i'd share my excitement and remind you all how nice stag's are. ehehe :down::P

first issue. i cant go over half throttle without it jurking around, like its starving for fuel :P my importer reckons the engine bay was washed out this morning and its playing up, i hope its just water in coilpacks or something...

but anything under half throttle its awesome and smoothe

oh and it's gone through bout 1/8th tank of fuel in 35km's... seems a bit steep since ive been babying the hell outta it.

off topic , but how much did it set you back to get this done?

enjoy your new addiction, rust repair under 1 mirror and stonechip touch up plus leftover paint approx $500( buy the way grey is the new black :O,generally always looks clean and looks great when wet, specially at night)

ok rust cut out of one door and repainted... I have custom black paint with a blue sparkle/spec through it and that was $400 cash (shh).. the other side was covered by insurance due to damage caused by lane splitting motor cyclist lol

      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.
