Well neither of you look that old, but you sure are sounding like old, bitter and twisted men :P

My lsd is shagged so car would be usless around Winton and just fry the tyres:( And have to find where the oily smell is coming from my car, either power steering or clutch slave cylinder perhaps???

Smoking tyres ay troy. That would be awesome for DECA around the skid pan!

For the oil leak have you checked where a set of wires go into the gear box for the reverse lights, i know i've got a bit of a leak there, but with a bit of silicone its all good.

I must say it was a lot of fun sitting on turn one, you could hear everyone screaming down the stright then jump on the breaks. The forester that was running around looked like it was going to go head over heals every time he slowed down! If my car isnt up for a track day at any stage i will be lending a hand again, espically when they give you free beer at the end of it all!

If it wasnt for the flaggies and 2-way radios i was so going to blast past him on the cool down lap :evil:

It would of had to been a sneak attack as a twist of an ankle would have put me back in my place :chairshot

Does anyone know who to speak to with regards to getting the gallery updated for 2005 events, it seems we all have pics from this day, it would be good if there were all in a central location?!?!?!

PS...i thought about it, but figured no one would have been impressed. Stupid, impulsive actions like that usually end up in tears, lol, especially when my first impression is its a good idea:(

Drew (jorg) - really nice to meet you as well. And a huge Kudos to your Mrs for giving it a go as well.

Can you tell us about your car? Pretty stock still?

Nice to meet you to Andrew. It was the first time I had got the car out on a track after putting it together, it has been a bit of a mission.

It is an R32 GTR I imported last year, I plan on doing tarmac rally stuff and a few track days, so it has been tuned conservatively to keep it all together. Apart from a decent cage and seats, it runs 6 pot AP's on the front and RE55's.

I am off to the Maserati day at Winton this weekend get some more time behind the wheel on the track.

Georgie (my wife) got in a few laps, I need to be careful though because we used to run a WRX and she got too close for comfort to my times........not sure how I would handle her going faster than me!

    • 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.
