here's what your been waiting for some pic's...............

relocated the horns to the otherside to make room for my powersteering cooler.

and managed to fit a new tranny cooler with fan infront of the passengers side wheel.

it was a C*** of a job but took it for a test drive and no leaks, so now just gotta button up some bits and pieces and wire up the fan :)

had fun at sydney motorsport park on saturday............ go pro footage still to come. managed a best time of 1:14.77 with overheating brakes and motor temp spike!!! got to hot so i called it a day and wet and jumped in a cold swimming pool instead.

Is that video on slow mo? Either that or you're being very cautious?

It's wet nummers....his in a 2t wagon with sort of shit tyres on a track that has not been rained on in weeks. There's a reason your kind always crash isn't there!

see me entering into turn 1 for the very first time (between the small straight and into the long straight over the hill)........ wet track pretty much no throttle just enough to keep the speed at 80km/h and see how much the car got sideways, it was slippery. even in the dry i could only take that corner at about 100km/h and the car still got squiggly.

like Criag said of course im going to be cautious first time on the track, first time on the course in my only car be it i dont use it dayly but still.

wait till i get the other vids up, this wasnt timed, but the next session that was and i got a 1:20 lap and then once it was fully dry i got a 1:15 and later in the day before it got to hot i got a 1:14 so i'm quite happy with it, it's no track car by anymeans but it was a load of FUN.

if i wanted a circuit car i'd go buy a S8 RX7 and build that up.........................

    • 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.
