Damn where did u get that tyre placard??? Mine only says 16. If i had that tyre placard i would hav saved $100's on defects! Just to reconfirm, every dumb coppa in sydney says 1inch wider, 1inch higher than wat it says on the tyre placard. I suppose u could try an argue with em but last time i was threatened with being arrested so i stay quiet now. lol

bad news guys if you want that placard you need to organise with Advan getting a engineer certificate the wait is around 3 weeks because they bring some guy from the coast to do it he needs at least a few cars so its worth him coming down and the cost is $550

I checked my placard and its no where near the one above

i rang croydon they dont do anything like that

dont know who else to ring

i need to find out who complied my car and maybe ring them!!

Getting that placard will save me alot of head ache i guess!

...

So if we get a bunch together would it still be $550 total? Sounds great to me :uh-huh:

Get the placard + display it legally = tops! :)

I will await your reply before starting a group buy thread. :)

I rang them the other day again just to clarify , he said the $550 is for the whole car to get engineered, im trying to get a hold of a few engineers so i can get a good quote just to get rims engineered e.g getting that placard or a certificate.

I found out my car got complied in Gold Coast wonder if it makes a difference getting cars complied in different States. Maybe that’s why my placard isn’t that same as the one posted in previous thread.

but anyway once i get more info ill let you know!

Ok good and bad news

Good news is theres a Engineer @ hornsby that does the certificate for the rims

for only $140 how ever he said its a catch 22 he cant do it 100% because they have to meet the RTA requirements as discussed before.

      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.
