hey cailan.. i went to that aussi type place just on southport-nerang rd..  

Their price for the RT215's in 205/55R16's is $240 or 225/55R16 is $260.. getting up there in price..  

otherwise next seems to be Yokohoma A539 - they're $189..  

or Pirelli P6000's for $200..  but the guy reckons the yoko's are better.  

i also checked out the GT Radials.. which are $170 each for 205/55R16..  

nex: that "action tyres" is just in that same street bit as that GT Radial place.. didn't notice till i saw it and went in :P

Shit! Maybe they are getting to the end of a batch or something?

Did you ask why its so expensive?

They even said to me when i got mine that there wasnt many left and thats why they were a bit exy..

Yay.. Woo.. I can't wait to sit at Matty Spry's tomorrow for 4 hours...  

:yawn:

whys that?

Wouldn't happen to have any photos of the brake setup would you with the wheel off, especially around the back of the caliper?

Maybe if you have a spare moment you can stick your camera behind there? :P I need a photo..

No idea.. just think they're expensive. I did hear they had gone up in price recently? maybe that is it..

If there were around $200 each I'd probably go for them over the Yokohamas.. The Yoko's look decent all around performance.. even though I guess the "all round" isn't that important.. i just want grip in the dry and that is it..

      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.

      My BMW 335i

      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.
