Sorry been slack and haven't done any updates in along time.

was playing Russian roulette and went out to WSID on the 4th of Feb (6 days before my track day) luckily I didn't break anything and only managed a 14.2 (but then its basically stock)

Then on the 10th of Feb I went down to Wakefield the car ran really well besides having oil breather issues and lost about 200mil of oil through out the day. (Time to fit a catch can)

was really good to get a feel of the car my P.B was a 1:14 then after lunch I took John Boston for a few laps got some pointers and then sat in the b*tch seat. Boz loved how grippy the car was and how nice it was to drive - Boz managed a 1:12. Vid's to follow.

Then I wanted to get the oil breathing problem sorted gave my Fab guy 2 weeks to get it done and he left it till the last minute and in the end didn't make the deadline to get to Texi :(

Didn't have enough time to get the car done and then also found out I forgot to factor in the air intake pipe when placing my fittings.

but we did manage to roll the rear guards to be able to fit my Stock Stagea rims with 4yr old 595's begging to get smoked up ahh well there's always next time.

Also decided to remove the headlight and fit a 100mm air duct into the air box :)

Finally got round to fitting my diff brace, started raining and the carport got flooded so didn't have time to get the gearbox brace in

AND managed to pick up a RE Amemiya AD9 Bonnet for a good price second hand so jumped on that too!!!

anyways hoping to get back to the track on the 14th of April down at Wakefield again.

    • 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.
