Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

Spotted Trozzle's car parked on the road out the front of Gentech in mitchell yesterday arvo

Yerp, was getting engineer's certificate at Canberra Motor Works. Unfortunately didn't get it due to a few things (one of which is worrying lol), however shouldn't be hard to fix up. Unfortunately I foresee having to cancel the rego on my car before the lack of defect clearance does it.

Something to do with the diff/cradle mounts is allowing the whole diff to move up/down around 10mm

Yeah you're right.. just a little worrying :/

Spotted Troy and Richard hugging each other as the sun went down over the lake. They looked to be eating takeaway.

Hope you boys had fun

Cheers Josh!

Yours had a nice tune when it took off as well

I spotted a r31 parked outside of Pedders in Phillip as I dropped my car off for an inspection

Spoke to the guy who owns it about his Rims dont know if his online here

Also spotted a Silver 33 cruising around Phillip.

Then Josh rocked up for a surprise visit just after I talked to Natrad about my constant coolant problems

Pedders bad :down:

Rear calipers installed on wrong side and upside down. Pads on wrong way in calipers.

All new suspension installed but not adjusted. Camber out, toe out, F/R balance alignement out.

Bled in wrong order, air in brake system. Did not and would not blead ABS - WTF.

3 x returned for fixing - no luck and they had no idea.

Sir your brand new Rotors/Calipers/Pads/braided brake lines/BMC have no problems. Your car just does not stop very well and its got very spongey brakes. You should look on the internet and see what you can do to fix that !!!!!

Yes I went back and told them what was wrong and that I had paid again to have it done.

1 minute at ACT brakes - your calipers are on upside down and wrong side sir. Fixed. Felt alot better.

But these guys didnt notice pads installed correctly. Went back twice more. Sir there is nothing more we can do !!

Both of the above shops have "Brake Specialists" in their business name.

ESP identified and resolved all brake issues :thumbsup: and bled the ABS as per what you are supposed to do !

Capital steering and suspension for dialing in suspension :thumbsup: . Booked in Wednesday.

I should go get the spare key to my car and go steal it back haha?

Okay well there goes $14 for the inspection lets see what they come up with that's wrong with my car

      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.
