Is this an off the shelf item? I'm interested in one of those and the pwrsteer reservoir.

I fabricate both of those components in house.

The surge tank is a generic fitment for R33/34 & V35 skylines. I don't keep them on the shelf but fabrication time at the moment is fairly reasonable.

The power steering resivour is fairly trick and shaped to the wheel arch. That is R33 specific and won't fit anything else so I don't keep them in stock either but again fab time is fairly prompt currently.

Recieved a hypertune rain and a turbosmart reg today. Ran into a small issue with the outlet direction on the P/S tank, just need to change the direction of one of the barbed fittings so i can fit in a bov return pipe through the same hole as standard. Just waiting on a few speedflow fittings, some 90 deg barbs and some injector extensions and then its good to go for a run in tune and some bewst

Got some Jew brew and started it last night. Turns out I have a damaged turbocharger. Has a thrust issue as the front compressor is fouling on the backing plate by the sounds. Also has a faint knock when slowly spun.

      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.
