Thanks to all involved in today, my daily survived half a day and once the storm hit i decided to quit while ahead and in one piece.

Heres a video of a fun lap i had putting down only a low 22 but was my driest run of the day, way off the pace of my dry time in my track car of a 15 but still fun.

Enjoy the video and ill be working on a Holy shit sliding video highlight soon, including a guest starring white stag turn 5 :P

Had a great day driving a lemon, well done to Mr Wootten came out on top in the tricky wet conditions.

I think the R31 lemon really proved it self today with over 100 laps for testing and placing 5th and 6th outright for the day.

Big thanks to all involved in organising the track day.

Had a fantastic day, first time driving in wet condition on a track.... Nankangs made it even better :P

The LeMon really proved to be a reliable and consistent car, not bad for one of the lowest powered cars on the day.

Cant wait to hit the track again very soon... This time with a few more KWs ;)

Thank you organisers, thanks Alex for your guidance and thank you SMSP for providing much needed pit tents!!!

Had a great first track day learning the limits of my car (and myself) in the rain.

Did achieve my milestones set for the day

1. Don't destroy my car (Despite a very near miss on my first un-pace car corner!)

2. improved times from session to session.

Was too exhausted to troll through my camera footage but will do shortly!

Cheers,

Mathew

You know you're doing bad at a track day when you have to let an R31 by... :rofl2:

Haha a $1000 N/a 140hp R31 makes it even worse :P

      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.
