Good morning everyone! in the process of fitting my new turbo and just noticed that the wastegate flapper just interferes with the dump pipe gasket. Im not sure how far they open when under boost but do they generally open up this far? The gasket that was supplied with the turbo looked cheap so i purchased a new genuine nissan gasket instead. Also is it a big deal if the gasket sits over the flange by a couple of mm? 20171022_102610.jpg

Not a big deal, but not ideal either.  I'd grind it back to shape....do you have a Dremel?

And what is the fit like on the dump pipe?  Is it also oversize on it?  If so the same issues will happen.

If it isn't then shaping the gasket is a waste of time. when I did mine I used a die grinder and cut but the rear housing and dump area down to a smooth 'same shape'.  I did the same with my manifold to turbo fit as well as my manifold to head fit.  ie no high points or obstructions anywhere.

On the dump pipe, the gasket fits perfectly. No over hanging at all. Surely the wastegate flapper wouldnt open more than 90 degrees anyway. Will bolt it all up and let everyone know how it goes. [emoji120]

      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.
