Please say you can make it! ;):D

And if you're keen, some of us on Southern Skylines could maybe travel down to Balclutha for a meet one day to see you and your car? Never seen a new generation Skyline up close - and yours is a very welcome change from the normal grey ones!

Unfortunately, I have a cocktail party that night for one of my wife’s friends birthdays. So I won’t be able to make it. Sounds like fun though.

Are the V series skylines generally accepted by other skyline owners, it get the feeling they are frowned upon as they are not a traditional Skylines. I could be tempted to come a long to a meet in Dunners or if you were coming south, I will keep an eye out for meets. Are they usually posted in this forum.

Good call about the color, you are right Grey/Silver is the new white when it comes to imports.

Chur, oh well! There will be other meets. :)

We literally accept anything, only criteria for coming along to meets is that you actually like Skylines/Cefiro's or something else from the Skyline family. :) Like my brother brings along his Mk. IV Toyota Supra to most meets, and we've have turbo Falcon XR6's, RX7's, Civics, Hilux's, motorbikes, and so on.

Hope the guys here won't mind, but all the action happens over on www.southernskylines.com in the forum there. Its pretty much a club just for the South Island of NZ. :)

We'd definately be keen to have you along as i've been wanting a late model Skyline at meets for ages now! If you see any other Skylines, Stageas, Laurels or Cefiros in Balclutha it'd be great if you could tell them about SSE too. ;) Always trying to spread the word - SO many people don't know about us.

Here's some pics from of our last meet: http://southernskyli...?p=37138#p37138

Looks like you have a few members, I will check out the site you suggested.

Not many skylines down here I know of one R32 GTR though. And there was 1 Stagea in Balclutha but i traded it on the V35. It was the same as the Red one you had in the photos of your last meet, but a 4WD 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.
