Thanks mate .... yeah the Brembo look-alike was not actually what I was after, but you are right. Maybe I should do the "Nissan" red for shits and giggles.

The paint is VHT SP-736 Gold (I think they only have one gold colour). I have gold Gram Lights 57C rims, so the whole lot having a gold hue is kinda cool.

just a quick question ... had the slotted rotors fitted recently on my GTT and the mofos are already rusting up (surface rust) pretty badly... I realize this is normal, but I was wondering if there's any known safe remedy to slow down or prevent the rusting of the rotors ? Obviously the surface where the pads contact isn't rusty just the rest of it..

well since the area affected is the one not in contact, hardly any method to remove it as it is not getting 'rub' by pads to clear off the surface rust.

having your car parked outside overnight or if your garage is relatively humid, it may increase the speed of the surface rust building up...

Taxi_This, you got pm.

Group Buy 47 orders:

- Evil34 (payment cleared) - please confirm your pads

- Keeffy (waiting for payment to clear)

CLOSING THIS WEDNESDAY!

Quick update for those interested - finally put the rears in (you just have to bash the rotor very hard from the inside with the handbrake off) and ended up doing the "Nissan" red. Photos below.

Rotors are awesome! Thanks a bunch rs73.

    • 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.
