Car is booked into Walker Chassis for July :blink:

Full weld in cage, Heaps of bars, strut tower bracing, the whole lot ;)

Got my welder mate coming down in the next couple of weeks to do seam welding, drop tank mounts and covering up the backseat from the boot ;)

looking at doing tarmac rally at any stage in the future luke? if so i advise that you get the sill bars done now, otherwise they're a flamin mongrel to get in later on. thats why mine's getting them now and when i need the additional bracing to comply with tarmac rally regulations, its partially done

the sill bars are essentially a bar that runs along the floor pan front to rear..............basically going to protect from random trees that may jump out in front of you. i'll try and find a diagram in the CAMS handbook

Hmmm wheel swap maybe :(

Don't swap to another of the 'emotion' series man - The XD9's suit your car to a T. Unless your going some like TEs - LMGT4s - or vlk GT-C's or something it won't look half as good as it does now!

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      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.
