So apparently I might be at this...

Later on in the afternoon, if we replace the last cone with a blow-up "1 metre soft-vinyl punching bag effigy" of our President "Steve-O", would you like to...

a) drive around him

b) nudge him or

c) *** him

???

:blink:

Edit* the blow-up bag is rated useable by "3 years+"

Basically, check the first post. CAMS is available on the day; $50 for L2NS (texi events, etc) or $100 for L2S (speed events like EC, etc). I got L2S and scored like $140 off my comprehensive insurance, so I was $40 ahead, winner! You'll need a fire extinguisher as well, Autobarn have them for $30 or so. I've used the bolt that holds the passenger side of the rear seat down as my bracket mount.

Scrutineering is basically to make sure everything's ok, fire extinguisher is there, nothing loose around the cabin, no oil leaks etc. If your 3.5" turbo back isn't too loud, it should be fine. Basically, as long as it's not one of those ones that people 400m down the street go "here comes that asshole again", you should be right.

Helmets... You can actually get them quite cheap, I got mine for $100 inc post with two spare visors.

Check this guy's stuff out, and make sure to measure your head if you're gonna get something from there. The dark tinted visor he also sells (not mirror) is quite good, too.

But by far the BIGGEST thing you will need is a desire to destroy tyres and do fast times :D

MCAS do cheap helmets that you can pick up instore. The bloke there thought i was mental wanting an open face helmet for drag racing until i mentioned i was doing it in a car :)

      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.
