Check it out. 6 from 12 studs snapped under ring spanner back and forth careful arm pressure.centre popped and easy outed all fully drilled, tapped and ready for new genuine nissan studs washers and nuts. The manifold was so warped it was ridiculous. It's in being Re-faced now. Butter bolt studs and rattled up I reckon. Madness.

Labour of love, engine rebuild and some light fabrication to fit a turbo to it [emoji48] 8.50s here we come 
You're a animal. [emoji882] top of the line German to drag 2 wheel 4 wheel jap and everything in-between. Big Jobs. I've been stuck inside the belly of the beast. Madness. Slowly but slowly. Pulled the last poxy bolt with 3x extensions and a uni joint on the rattle gun that was hidden away drilled and tapped into a I beam across the chassis rail.

    • 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.
