Did any RS models come with LSDs? Havent put it on the hoist to check if I have an LSD or ATTESSA yet...

Got my Blitz panel filter last night, so plugs and air filter going in tomorrow before I head down to the local craft brewery to watch the taxi racing.

Yup, HICAS equipped models got LSD.

thus all ARXs have LSD. Any RS or AXIS with HICAS will have LSD. RX will never have one as HICAS wasnt an option.

PRTechnology (Porsche tune shop). They made up a jig for the dump/front pipe, so im guessing they will sell a few! I will keep you posted. :thumbsup:

Love it. Bends or no bends, it looks like a nice bit of gear. PM me the price?

So povo pack, and luxo barge models got one (with HICAS), but the best model didn't...?:wacko:

My ribs hurt... Craig might have to install my LSD...:ph34r:

In Other news- PNM35 travelled to Orange and back today - about 520kms 3 ppl, shit in the back. Did 10.4km/L on the screen, on track for about 750kms out of the tank- Bells line of road- so plenty of hills.

Much enjoyed Sway bar handling, but some of the bumps on the road hurt my ass- def time for a re-asphalt.

Nice. Will have to hurry up and get it on a hoist to check then.

In other news, car has a pretty loud turbo whistle that wasn't picked up during inspection. Was going to get it balanced, but the turbo guys have suggested it wouldn't be worth it, and go for a stage 2 or 3 rebuild instead. Stage 3 sounds like the way to go, but they won't do it until I've upgraded the fuel system and intercooler. Guys seemed to have a fair idea about M35s, a lot of what they said matched up to what I've read on here.

So guess I'll put up with it being noisy for a while until I've upgraded everythimg else. Just annoyed that I had the car inspected by people who were supposed to know the cars and they didn't even identify an obvious issue.

Stage 3 isnt a great option, Aaron has boost spike issues with his. I went stage 1 on mine. If you go too laggy you will need to run a high stall converter when you build the box.

There may be a better option soon if you want to run an off the shelf Garrett. :whistling:

Turbo whine is normal....just make sure you keep good oil up to it!

To go to a stage 3 setup you will need about $6,500 to get it working properly.....and that's before you touch the gearbox!....and that's also providing you do most of the work yourself!....on the bright you will be pushing close to 300AWKW's on BP!

and that provided if you want the turbo to only come on at 5k rpm

I bought it from a dealer, but other than that thr car seems mint, happy with it.

Put the air filter in and removed the inspection plate, seems to pull harder. Love driving the thing every time I go out!

      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.
