After getting my tax return, I am either thinking of saving it for my trip to Japan next year, or to put it towards a 52mm Alloy Radiator and a Oil Cooler and Relocation Kit. What would people suggest I do? If I go with the "Upgrades" I am thinking an ISC 52mm Radiator, but not too sure on a good Oil Cooler & Relocation Kit, don't want to spend much more then $350 on the Oil Kit.

abe, youll spend close to half that on a decent oil cooler core by itself. mine was $180 (discounted cause i bought fittings, lines and blocks at the same time) from memory. and oil cooler kits arent something youd wanna cheap out on anyways.

My tax return is going towards a TIG welder. :domokun:

My oil cooler ended up costing around the $500 but the time i bought all the fittings and hose. The cooler was only $130 and the remote brackets i made on the CNC, so that gives you and indication.

On Flea-Bay, you can get kits for about the $350 mark, how good they are, I am not sure, but I am willing to spend a bit more if I am going to gain something out of it, either being Performance, Reliability, or Quality.

These 2 things are very important, dont skimp just to save a few dollars. Speak to Todd at Outlaw in the city, he will sort you out with a very good quality kit like this one.

well the 90deg joiners are $50 each, hose is $20 a metre, straight joins are $25 each, core i got from justjap for $120ish, then the plates are around $60 each.

i had a cheap one, snapped fittings and was just shit..

so i paid 300 for the cheap one then another 400-500 for the outlaw one..

      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.
