haha you're a funny bastard Nick.

Yea Chris been On the forum for a little bit just haven't posted anything as I haven't had anything useful to contribute (probably still don't haha) excited to meet up with some of the peeps on here :)

pretty sure you have met everyone on here (toowoomba anywah) already. Maybe not evo nick though

Am have a bbq and drinks on Saturday night if any of you regulars want to come around for a few drinks and a catch up. Just swing me a pm or text if you want to come and will give you the new address and time

Hey guys quick question - due to my car being from the gold coast and our obvious atmosphere difference up here would that make it incredibly difficult to start the car in the morning? Also I get zero boost in first and alot less in second than I used to a week ago when I picked it up... The blitz id3 is only registering 4psi peak when it used to be around 16 in second. I'm taking it out of town this arv for a more definitive test on actual peak boost

After that I'd check the turbo too....first check the actuator tension and if the actuator rod hasn't hopped off it's wastegate flap spindle. Then remove compressor intake pipework and check how the turbo spins/feels/play etc. Shagged turbo or popped off actuator rod will mean very low boost also.

Couple things for ya to start with ;)

And another thing that could easily bugger things up is a faulty AFM or just a blob of oil on the AFM's sensor...another thing you can add to your list.

And speaking of air/fuel mixtures....sparkplug, coil packs and block fuel filter/injector can also cause low boost....although the deterioration of these is usually gradual in nature. Sounds like this thing just happened all of a sudden?

    • 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.
