What oil u running? Tomei diff oil did the same thing to my clunky nismo centre

Did the first 1000 on the Nismo stuff, then the OS GIKEN 80W-250 went in. That's what Terry advised to run in both front and rear.

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

Was lucky enough to drive this on the weekend, it drives really nice till the loud pedal hits the flour then all hell breaks loose, my god the only thing I've felt accelerate faster than that was a turbo charged R1 Yamaha

Very easy to drive between 2-3000rpm with nice smooth acceleration and plenty of drive

Thanks Paul for honour, I enjoyed it immensely, should be a massive weapon on the track when the suspension is finished

PS, sorry about breaking it

Oh yeah fair enough, I thought it must not have been anything major given how you wrote the post. Sounds like a weapon, wished I lived closer so I could catch up with you guys and check it out in person :)

Fark AFMs, map proved its self to me when that happened, meant we could just drive back to Pauls

Paul I'm tired of hearing other people drive your beasts........I want to see and hear about numbers i.e drags strip time slips and track day time slips etc... :P

Haha. Yeah yeah. Waiting for these Ikeya bits to arrive from Japan so we can whack the suspension in. I don't think it's gonna happen this Friday like planned. Gonna have to push it back another week.

All in good time ant eater ;).

where do you usually get your alignment done?

I've been going to BT Motorsports and Daniel seems to know what he's doing.

The guy that designed the shocks will be doing this one mang. ;)

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      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.
