$1500 bucks for all the parts:rolleyes: from what I could find that's enough to cover the box only!!!

Yeah. We've been to him 3 times now. All for different problems. One being the HICAS. Its fixed now but something else is wrong (which wasn't his fault) and we've had it serviced by him too. Can't complain about anything. Cept the Boost gauge we got put in stopped working but thats only cause the line crimped behind the face of the gauge.

He's not too expensive either.

Well I'm Gary,

Most of you will remember as Gary from the old SDU forums. I have since sold my 33 gtst.....(sob sob) and am soon expecting my new 260 RS Stagea, and boy am I looking forward to that day... I live on the Western side of Brisbane and enjoy going for "spirited" drives through the mountains... Now that the new forums are up and running I will speak to you guys more often. I guess I will see you all later at some time.

Cheers

Gary

Just an update, for anyone who cares... I finally got my dirty little hands on an R33 GTS25t over the weekend. It's sitting in Osaka at the moment, but should be in Bris on the 5th of August and in my dirty little hands about two weeks after that.

Age: 27.

Location: Central Queensland.

Car: Don't ask what I drive now, but just had a loan approved, so I'm about to hunt down an R33.

Occupation: Sysadmin (professional geek) at the same place as Squizz.

No doubt will meet some/all of you when I finally get the new car.

 Hi Sciby.... you still with OCAU?

 

Hey Jay,

Yup, still doing the OCAU thing, but I haven't done news posts for ages. Typing all that out gets very boring after a while. I mainly write articles now, but I still administrate the forums and irc channel as well.

Was rather surprised to be recognised on here via OCAU. :(

Well the car has to be complied as standard.....(bugger)...

Mine is to get upgraded turbo's, new computer, exhaust, 18 (maybe 19) inch wheels, and dropped on it's guts. I'm also thinking of stroking the RB26 up to a 3 litre:D Then it should produce around 500 horses at all wheels. I'm also doing a bit of a body modification, but I'm keeping that secret at the moment.

What I want is, evryone to think WTF!!!

Be patient and all will see the unleashed beast.

Cheers

Gary

As much as I'd love a 34 GTR, there's just something about a super fast WAGON that I can totally dig. Imagine some wanker in his V8 Ute thinking he's king of the world, next thing this big arse wagon with huge wheels pulls up next to it and looks over. Then bang, what ute ?

I'm sure that's what you're thinking aren't you gary :uh-huh:

      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.
