ha ha ADFA mechanic an officer in ADFA only clears $23,000 a year most of them are fresh out of school they get a loan and repay like 28% intrest on a flash car and think they can work on it at the shop most are sadly mistaken he will be on that pay bracket until he graduates to become an officer this could take 4 years. Defence love to talk it up and drive flash rides but there is usualy nothing under the bonnet flash. let him have his bottle because in time people will have to call him sir and he will be forced to grow up.

I never knew there were mechanics at ADFA. Apparently it is supercharged and turbo'd............

Anyway, a lot of young kids are like this. We soon set them straight :P

those details make no sense, inducton: twin turbo, then he says supercharger and turbo, fenatic...... F-E-N-A-T-I-C, no R, only little boys with civics use the letter R, 890hp, at barbagello, isn't that a actual race track not a drag strip ???

For starters it's spelt 'fanatic' not 'fernatic' so he's obviously got the know how, not to mention the fact that you are right in saying that Barbagello is a race track and does not have a drag strip unle you count the main straight which goes up and down, or the other straigh which has a 180 degree bend at the end of it. Obviously a nutter :bs!:

yes there are mechanics in ADFA they are either called meo's or weo's (weapon enginering officer) i forget what the first one stands for but generaly known as an enginering officer's

and i know what some of you are thinking dosen't sound to bad but working on 400 year old engines isn't fun especialy when an engine the size of your car puts out less kw than a stock gts-t

the supercharged turbo thing comes from the detroit donks they are turbo supercharged ha ha ha ha

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.
