Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

you should try and get the nismo air cleaner for your car (although I think you may need nismo intake pipe to match :O)

Besides that the engine bay is really nice (I like the nismo plenum)

Hey Paulie,

Next time you have the snorkle off can you take a pic and send it to me? I've been meaning for ages to put the stock airbox back in and delete my Pods. But like you I don't have AFM's anymore.

Thanks.

Out of interest, I appreciate that no two engines are alike but any thoughts on the Tomei 2.8L kit vs Step 0 or Step 1 HKS Kits?

Depends on what the cars going to be used for really, I am using the HKS Step Zero in mine and it's all good so far

This one is an interesting one. This is my first ever tune with the GT RS's about 4 years ago and this current setup. I'm making the RS "peak torque" numbers at the end of my graph now.

Thanks mate :)

Was out there today obviously. Yavuz was doing the light/medium load stuff. One of two more bulldog power runs then the they will work there way down through the petrol blends.

Question. For those of you who have removed the standard heat exhcanger, what did you do with the oil temp sensor? Pressure is sweet as we can put them into the sammich plate.

my temp sensor goes into the 2nd bung on my sammich plate as I has no heat exchanger crap

I'm having a pressure sensor back to the ECU, so that will be off that port you put your temp into.

      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.
