Is that figure per strut?

That was for the pair

Did you remove & check the ball ends on the body when the struts were out?

About 2 weeks after I had mine regassed I snapped one off.

Very annoying.

I didn't remove them, did look them over and they looked to be in good nick.

The strut guy actually refitted them to ensure they'd have sufficient force to hold the boot & raise it easily. Oddly enough, he'd done a few M35s and said that each of them had different pressure ratings on the struts, not vastly different - always north of 1000nm.

You won't see a potentially damaged one; they snap the threaded shaft about halfway down, leaving 10mm of thread in the car body. It can also scar the paint on the inside of the C pillar and roof edge if you're really unlucky. I was incredibly lucky not to damage the paint when mine broke.

Support the hatch, pop the struts off, and remove the ball ends. Check the threaded shank for cracking; and remove the rubber washers (if fitted).

If they're undamaged, you've only wasted 20 mins. It took me twice that to get the broken piece out of mine.

One of mine snapped and damaged the roof as I closed the rear door. The other side snapped as I undid it to replace the ball.

Ouch! Will check them out over the weekend then, good tip Scotty & Dale! :cheers:

Fitted a walbro today and gave her a service.

Also booked it in to finally get the adaptronic and tune done. 25th of august can't come soon enough

Did you run the relay and fuse back to the battery mate?

I didn't really proof read my question...just to clarify, I meant are your struts 1200nm per strut?

Love Bluetooth in the car. CCS did the work?

Thinking about using them for a new alarm; they seem very thorough.

Yep, I did go through CCS - they're not far from home for me either, which helps!

well fitted the Cusco brake stopper on the 260rs and it really improved the braking response. Definitely best mod and easiest for improving brakes!

Have you done brake lines as we'll? Very interested in doing this

      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.
