oh how i agree with this statement.

also agree - but it's also much harder as a seller to convince someone to take the responsiblity to obtain a RWC. Even more so because of how damn hard it is to get one these days!

I sold a car three weeks ago - first place i took it to RWC they said it was 5mm too low (!!), needed 4 new tyres (camber worn, fair enough) , needed the indicator globes changed from chrome 'stealth' globes back to orange glass, needed the rear wiper reinstalled (had a glass delete plug in) - and that the windscreen was sandblasted (a 3 yrd old car - the window didn't have a single chip in it). The amount of stuffing around involved in getting those things rectified before taking it to a second mechanic who would pass the windscreen was insane. It took me a week, cost around $600 that I had not factored into the agreed price that I sold it for, 400km's of driving and a lot of missed time from work.

So replacement car, I made it 1000% clear the seller would organise RWC.

Can't remember the name of the place where I got my RWC but I will PM you anyway.

The car pulled 1.01G (G force) while braking from 45km/h with cold brakes lol. He was quite impressed.

He passed this:

Unfortutanley the time has come for the car to go Paul, so if within a couple of months it's not sold as is, I'll put it back to stock.

If you're interested mate, we can easily work something out when the time comes :)

      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.
