its a little tiny thing hardly worth taking to mechanic to do - C-red have looked at it and said it needed replacing - my car apparently was doing a little song and dance splutter when they were pulling it into the workshop to have the suspension done - its only in low rev range it really plays up which means peak hour traffic to work n back is not very fun!

i am a tool haha do you know how long it took me to find the right size spanner to get the bloody nuts off the battery!! my dads shed is utter chaos cant find anything!

Instructions do help a blondie like me tho!!!!

yeah that means the spring tension ain't tight enough to hold the pressure in at low revs! and your symptoms sound right! you reckon the car is being very sluggish meaning the pressure is always being released because your spring tension isn't tight enough to hold pressure at all! lets just hope your BOV is adjustable! otherwise gonna have to buy another one!- i'll be on the look out for a re-circulative valve for ya niz!

adrian :P

yes sell them cost me $200 - so not a huge enough amount to push plus they didnt tell me til 4pm that arvo i needed it done so if they told me earlier i wouldve told them to go ahead and do it while the car was there.

i prefer to go shopping for these things myself anyway - cant afford anything for myself cos of the car so i might as make the most out of car retail therapy.

Thanks for the advice on what to go for Adrian - taken note of it.

yeah i like it to be stuffed before replacing too but then again i like to replace before it starts really affecting the driving of the car - and after 2 months - this is driving me insane - you sit at the lights and watch the revs surge up and down and think - is it going to stall nope going back up nope shuddering and going back down - werd!

yep thats exactly what happened to me with my mates r33 all he did was adjust the spring tension and it was back to normal! but again i will re-iterate MAKE SURE YOU DON"T ADJUST IT TOO TIGHT hehee otherwise you will get compressor surge! you will get that wikked chu chu chu noise but that is actually the noise of the excess air hitting the compressore blades! NOT GOOD!

adrian :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.
