I need to get a new set as I only recently bought the car and didnt get around to makin a spare set.... silly me....

That reminds me i have to make a new set.

Either call a locksmith, best off you pull them out and take them to him, or just get a new/second hand set of locks with keys.

i kwno its a bit off topic but ... where do u get the keys made .. is it a special key or any locksmith will be able to do it

Not from a skyline, but it may be of some help...

I have a Rover tomcat that I needed to get keys made for, I took the door barrel out and brought it into my local locksmith. They made the key up - piece of piss. But the ignition barrell had an extra tumbler/slider (or what ever the term is) at the key tip, so it didn't work. The original guy at the locksimth wasn't overly keen to help, but I got onto another guy there who was happy to help. He just took a bit off the end of the key - 1 notch worth - didn't work, but I took it back each time for one more notch to be taken off the tip until I was up to the last notch and thank goodness it worked. Now I just have to rebuild the engine :)

So the ignition barrel may have an extra bit at the end to work. May not however, But I thought my method was easier than pulling an ignition barrel out.

Also, if your car is fairly new, it may need a key through the dealer as it may have electronic entry or a transponder of sorts. Other than that, your locksmith is the way to go.

      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.
