Its people like swiper that keep it all alive and make feel its worthwhile owning an import. I take my hat off to the man. Now i dont feel so bad that a split coolant hose is costing me $800 in labour to replace!!

awesome thread!!

some awesome people on hear that are happy to "get a brother off the bench" and help out a fellow japanese car enthusiast/owner!!!!

good luck in the future! bet ya cant wait to drive HER again mate!! :thumbsup:

frack. For $500, id come past and give it a whirl lol.

Done it before, now i usually replace all the hoses when i pull motors. Saves these bs jobs.

yeah. i had all mine replaced with silicon hoses last month when the head was off the car... been in the position where the 3 hardest to get to hoses have split and required loads of labour to repair... preventative maintenance goes a long way

    • 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.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
