Read up on it when I bought rays lightweight wheel nuts.. Apparently a saving of a few grams is multiplied a fair bit when it's unsprung..

My 18" TE's with 265's were still light as fuark

Gotta do what you can when you're a monster like yourself ey Dezz? Lol

Look up un-sprung weight..

Dezz, you get my PM?

no. just i reckon i might have them mate with a curb, and i wouldnt want to do that to real TE's

Shit driver, jk! :rofl:

powerfc / new coilovers / clutch / turbos

are the things im looking at right now

but i want everything! lol :P

I figured the previous owner would have done all that...

People can roll on what ever (Genuine / Fake) just don't boast about it if they are fake.

Can I brag about my $1200 D1Rs lol? They are real!

Real/expensive lightweight wheels are what you put on a track car when you're trying to save every gram of weight from it because you've already done all you legally can to get power out of your engine. And 16kg is a LOT of weight to save on a track car, so then it's worth the $4k. I know people who remove useful bolts from their cars in an effort to save weight lol.

You also use real on the track because a lot of fakes or cheap wheels have balance issues at speed. Some, like my Lensos will shake/vibrate the wheel at 100km/h and there's nothing you can do to balance it...it's annoying but manageable on the street, so I'd go fakes every time, but that's me. Others will pay for a guarantee against these issues and it's not like they lose a huge deal of money on sought after pricey wheels.

I'm saying they suck because ones getting repaired because of a pissy little pot hole.

Shoulda paid a little more and got some quality rims.

My very real and rather expensive Advans got lunched by a pothole too...got nothing to do with cheap rims.

nah ash is selling TE's im pretty sure.

yeh because you bought ROTA pieces of shit

Rota/ varrstoens, same shit.

I'm not pissed cause they only cost me a grand but you wouldn't expect them to crack over such a mild pot hole.

Oh well. LMGT1s for the 32

    • 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.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
