Silver 33

Quick question guys, is 210rwkw @11 psi possible with those mods or is the seller exaggerating? I'm really only familiar with the approximate power increases of bolt ons so I don't know what effect pushrods, pistons and a crank has on the power output.

Cheers.

It is possible to get a reading that high on a dyno, but the reality is it isn't making any more power than the average 33 that reads 180-200kw on other dynos.

Looks like a pretty schmick example, I would make sure you get proof and evidence of the rebuild though, ultimately I would call the workshop that did the work and see what they have to say as they are almost always completely unbiased in these situations.

Respray and rebuild would have cost ~$5-6k at minimum so it is good value for money.

depends on what turbo it is running, it may be a highflow. the engine has been rebuilt so the compression may be a bit higher. i'm also guessing it probably has some form of aftermarket ecu, especially since it says it has an extra injector (crude way of adding in more fuel). i'd say that it is entirely possible for it to be making 210kw at 11psi. only way to find out more would be to talk to the guy.

      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.
