eug: don't have rpoper pix.. i'll take em tomorrow.

basically just multispoke thingos.. with the "S" in the centrecaps.. they are only 15". Like i said they'd only be really for drifting, burnouts or the drags, they're not really a "look at me" rim to drive around with if that is what u wanted. I was asking $250 .. but i'd take $150 for the them.

Eugene, best to do some research, alot of people have good things to say about Bridgestone Potenza (SO2, SO3), Michelin Precendas, Toyo Trampios(?). All depend what you expect from them and how deep your wallet is. I love the Yoko ES100s on the GTR but they are starting to get a little $$$ and I fear the mileage won't be that great, but the grip is fantastic.

all have ups and downs..

everybody wants a perfect long last tyre that is cheap, good in the wet, good on the track, grips well on the road, and under every condition -- not going to happen.

check the "tyre and suspension" area and old threads in there, there is alot of useful stuff i learned in there.

yer.. thats what i thought - these are just for ****ing around with, not looking good. thats what i got em for.

well as a *rough* guide, i picked up my set of 2nd hand set of 17x8 chrome rims for $1000. Then about $800 for tyres (got cheap us $200 Falken ZE326 which i would NOT recommenD). So around $1800 all up.

check board.performanceforums.com (when its back up!) they have a really good wheel forum with some good deals on there. That is where i got mine acutally i think way back when

    • 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.
