IMO get an OEM R32 GTR steering wheel for street and just swap that Sparco wheel on for when its tracked. OEM all the way.

Agreed. OEM one is pretty good.

Finding one that isn't shagged is another thing :)

Have a look into Nardi Steering wheels.

I got one.

Always wanted an OEM steering wheel.

Simple / looks clean and does the job.

But I got a Nardi, can't complain, I guess.

I'll take a geezer.

I rather like that Sparco one as it does feel great to use.

Like I said, I have been quietly getting work done on a replacement......hopefully some sneeky pics soon! :)

Black & White - PaulR32GTR's car after we had a Motorkhana battle. What an animal!

Car ran perfectly all day without a hitch. Very happy with it.

Possibly a hill climb next, followed by a track day but before that some changes coming next time she goes into RPM for a service.

Small and subtle update. Just got the car back from a service. Some minor things repaired/replaced here and there. Discovered that I had to get the rear drive shaft reconditioned. "Replaced centre bearing, machine flange to suit spicer 1350 universal, rebuild CV and replace boot, balance assy"

Shiny new driveshaft.

Now for the visually subtle but big change to the car. RPM transfer case mod. Transfer case has been rebuilt. Additional clutch plates and a few other changes internally, I believe. Also 4WD system modified, running more pressure.

Does it make a difference? Hell yeah! 4WD comes in sooner and harder and it's lost quite a bit of the 32 GTR "tail happy, laggy 4WD system" character. Have a Haunted Hills hill climb event coming up so can't wait to really test it out. Can't believe I hadn't done this mod sooner. Next stop, Nismo front diff!

That is sweet Shivam.

Can you pm details on transfer case mod i.e. costs etc....

def sounds the way to go.

Nismo front diff - should also be another epic mod (although I will go with Quaife) :thumbsup:

Saw your Quaife diff. Win! Will make a big difference going from 3WD>4WD on these cars :)

RPM mentioned that they modify the Nismo diff a little bit before it goes in (didn't ask what at this stage)

PM on the way :)

You'll most definitely appreciate the transfer case mod.

Running with new tyres at Winton on the weekend made it more apparent just how slow the 4WD system is from factory. Wheel spin city!

Few changes to Victorian club permits around the corner and a few other things happening as well atm. Instead of doing lots of events over the next two years in full roll-cage trim, have decided to slowly change it to a full registered road car in the next few months.

Have had this sitting around for a while. Standard steering wheel with sewn on leather cover. Will go on after the Hill Climb event this weekend at Haunted Hills.

    • 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.
