But this is a problem that was there when the shockies went - so i thought get shockies, get alignment, get balance and it will solve the problem but it hasnt. So its not a new thing that has just happened recently since balance and alignment its been something thats been around for about 2 months :)

It's pretty hard to phuck up a balance, even I can use a balancer machine:D

Actually on mags it's quite easy to stuff it up.

They could have put the weights on without cleaning and this causes em to fly off.

As most shops dont use knock on weights , then positioning on the inner rim is critical.

Would you like a small wager that I can change the problem by swapping fronts to rears ?

That's as long as Niz hasn't left any important details out?

Cheers

Details like that!

Has this been doing it for a while ?

Does the steering wheel shake side to side or up and down ?

Cheers

My mates own a tyre place, shouldn't be that hard for anyone who knows what there doing.

Paul I used to OWN a tyre shop and it is easy to get wrong if you don't know what your doing.

I am sure if I drove the car I could tell you in 5 mins where to start looking.

If you owned an Escort , you would know how critical w/bal is.

side to side - which i guess is definately wheel related then. just pisses me off cos it is quite violent when you hit the 120km mark - which i shouldnt be doing but oh well im nauti - and thats kinda when u need everything to behave at those speeds :)

you wouldn't normally ( but who says Niz is normal ) go from 80 to 110 kmh with your foot on the brake.:)

Yep , your learning . side to side is usually balance related , up and down is usually egged tyre/shockie related.

      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.
