good old sydneykid group buy...

overcharging for 1 part by $200+ over retail for years in his super discounted group buy

Bought the same parts at my local repco (and no I don't know anyone there, and never bargained with them) and saved at least $500 over what SK was charging

R33 GTR seats don't hold you in for shit. I'm getting a bride when I get all my suspension goodies

That's cause you're a runt :D

They hold my tubby ass perfectly! But then i have the seat upright so gravity works!

no idea, I was long gone before that ever happened

What clutch are you getting? used to be able to get a nismo clutch kit including lightened flywheel for like $1200 brand new from nengun

Farkk.. It's costing me $950 for my new clutch kit. Then another $500 for a lightened flywheel. I can see this trip to the mechanics going well over $3000

why are you going a lightened flywheel?

they get the revs up faster, but they also drop faster in between gears as a result.

what are you intending on using the car for?

My mechanic was insistent that it would work better with the clutch I'm getting. So I just told him to go for it.

I was going to get one anyway. Less drivetrain loss :)

Car is predominantly a daily, but used for hill climbs and track days too.

Trying to get a good balance between looks, performance and practicality/reliability.

      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.
