So to bring the thread back to life, i sent the car down to speedfab.com.au in smithfield for some custom fabrication work.

The rear diffuser is about 80% complete with the transmission cooler mounted :

Thats great!

Did they make up templates so they can fab up a few more of those diffusers?

I've been considering something like this to allow a second rear mount radiator to be run, so I can keep engine temps at 80 degrees regardless of how exuberant I might be driving...

yea they had templates but only rough ones. most of it was custom made as they went. but u can send them an email and they'll hook u up.

how much does it weigh compared to a factory carbon one?

it weighs about 2kg's heavier than the factory carbon one

=)

Rob and Anthony do top work, had my car there when your car was there.

I had to stay for an extra 5 mins while Rob was moving your car outside, sounds mental as always ;)

your car was the white r33? if it is, it looks very clean.

=)

Wow, that's incredibly impressive work.

This thread is never a dull read :thumbsup:

=)

use to see this around my area all the time, it sounds even more angry in person lol

=)

looking choice as anthony.

what did u do with the oem diffuser?

i'm putting it away in storage

=)

Will you be at powercruise coming up 3rd march ! ?

I hope you are again , this car MADE powercruise last year.

yes, i have a garage again this year

Was there reasoning behind why they didnt run the diffuser all the way to the side, rear spats that are beind the wheels. Amazing fabrication...some goods craftsman out there!

to use the factory mounting points

    • 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.
