Not a good weekend for the top skylines.

The heat treatment car broke an input shaft, Godzilla blew a head yesterday, repaired it and came out this arvo for a demo run and stuck it in the wall.

Not too much damamge i hope.

Yeh wasnt a good run for the GTRs. But a great weekend overall.

From memory, please confirm:

Theo did a 9.3

Mark and 8.7

Reece's 7.7

First time on the track for the Rockstar GTR after the new turbo. Track was very sticky and would just bog even with 26psi. At the end of qualifying the clutch was slipping slightly, the best was a 9.7.

The car will go 8.90s after some more practice. Not bad for a daily driver :touch:

A few pics from Saturday.

Didnt get up there until early afternoon and arrived just as Godzilla was doing a run so didnt get a chance to get good photo position..anyway got a few..

Wow I didn't realise it was that hard a hit >_< That sucks... I hope it can be sorted soon enough.

Puts into perspective how much is on the line for these guys pushing the limits. Respect

    • 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.
