try calling KYP at Welshpool. They may have some, cant be sure.

I called them two days ago and they said they'd call me back and never did. They're only around the corner from me so I'm just gonna drive up today and see what they have. Japwreck in cannington don't have any r33's right now either.

who did you talk to...?

Afternoon all.

Manne, As far as i am aware the inner guards are required. There are wiring harnesses either side that sit above them so it's a good idea to have them there as protection

Thanks buddy. I rung KYP again half an hour ago, the same guy said "Must be the new guy!, we fired him!" and then took my number and told me he would call me back... Why do I get the feeling I am being taken for a run. Don't they want my money?

Yeah they are ok, havent purchased anything from them since they dropped my laurel half cut off the fork lift 10 years ago. Best to go and see them. If they anything like here, the phone rings every 5 mins and they can't chase anything up

Going there would be best. If they aren't too busy, look for Ben and tell him I sent you. And yea, he's family

They have been improving, and have come a long way. Still much to do IMO, but yea, still hit and miss

Lol,they did eh? I'm gonna bring it up when I go over on the weekend

Ok, so I got the wheel guard from them, I did name drop you Colin don't know if it helped or not. They said for ~$800 they could get my skyline inspection ready, but that includes fixing the tacho and removing the tint.

I wonder how much it'd be if I did that myself (which I can do) and just let them do engine stuff.

oh, and they gave me two guards for her, an R33 (for the top) and an R34 for the front, which they INSISTED does fit the R33, all up both pieces cost $80.

"Fit" is a loosely used word here hahaha, it might fit, shrugs....bring it back and ask for your money if it doesn't.

$800? What else do you need done anyway other than the tacho and tint?

A box for my old filter (they were gonna throw the stock on) and mesh the front grill (I have the mesh already)

and my electric mirrors need fixing. The left one is fine, the right one only folds in. And when I tell the right one to fold out...the left one folds out...

Ugh electrical stuff PITA!

Filter wise, I'd use the stock ones as well. Inspectors can be assholes when they see after market stuff. Or build an enclosure. Filters always need to be enclosed. So I guess stock would be easiest.

    • 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.
