Thanks guys, im so happy with it!

I think the first mod will be tinted windows. Because its cheap and makes a huge difference.

Then the exhaust to get the rex growl! It sounds like a turbo diesel at the moment, its kinda cute though.

Nice to know I cant get defected! No fear of the Po Po for once! :P

Go and join rexnet before you do many mods, with anything past the classic range the ecu's don't learn big mods (like exhuasts and the like) so if you do a full exhaust budget a ecutek tune....Rexnet is ur friend

Cheers,

That is really good to hear! I was after something reliable with performance and im hoping that is exactly what I get. From what I have heard they are pretty hardy things and the performance and handling is speaking for itself!

I havnt ventured onto Rexnet yet. I have looked at S&J Automotive and they seem to be the Go to place for Rex's. They have some performance packages that look alright, as do Exhaust Technology.

First mod to do to it you can do at home...Get rid of the intake resonator and replace it with a cold air feed straight into the airbox from the guard! Makes massive difference! Just take the inner guard lining off from the RH side of the car and you'll see what i mean!

    • 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.
