Hi all,

I'm new to the site so thought i'd say hi.

I live in Dorset, England and drive a '96 R33 GTS N/A.

Site looks good and i'm liking the N/A section as there aren't that many N/A guys here in England and we normally get slated by the turbo boys :D

Hi and Welcome Tim!

Please feel free to ask and contribute anytime! As they say, "Open 24/7"

You'll understand from the time difference that the Forums are more active at certain parts of the day than others

- out of synch with you...

And don't let those turbo guys jerk you around when they look under the bonnet.

You do have one in the boot don't you? hehe jokejoke

Does Haynes Publishing ie www.haynes.co.uk or [email protected] still have the "SKYLINE GTR" hardcover in print?

Is it popular?

Cheers,

Terry :(

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the welcome.

I know what you mean with the being out of sync as i'm registered with a few forums now.

www.skylineowners.com being our European one and the new one for the USA www.skylineownersusa.com

I'm not sure about those manuals but i'll have a look for you.

Tim

      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.
