How many hours went into that? 1000-2000hrs? I would hate to think of the total cost. $200-$300k? Friggin awesome. I love how integrated and snug fitting the roll cage is. Oh and the dash, how cool was it?

Talk about the ultimate E30 M3 though! That one is a keeper!!! Love to see it in action at a track.

From the looks of it, seems it was built with motorsport intentions. Possibly tarmac rallies but I'm only guessing. Was this built in the USA? It was left hand drive.

All E30 M3's were left drive only.

I'd be interested to see it on a track too, I think it would stand a good chance of being a lead tipped arrow.

Would lay hella skids though and be lovely as a static display for the man who already had everything :)

I'd think so too, but still cool :)

nope weight distribution is supposed to be spot on (they mention it somewhere in that thread)... firewall is been extensively modified, engine sits pretty far back and is only 5 cylinders long... all alloy too where as original motor was iron block

I just reckon they need to get more tyre under it... It needs 10 inchers at least with that amount of hp... he is talking about a 650bhp stroker kit too

awesome. Just awesome. I'd love to have the time, dedication, and money to be able to undertake something like this.

I never had the time to even do a bloody service on my own car..let alone such a detailed build!

Ahhh, I'm guilty of not reading it and will gladly stand corrected :)

Looks like a pretty basic, budget build up. Might try that this weekend with my mates in the local village using tuk-tuk parts

LOL make sure you post pics of the result :)

Also re the comments about the weight....despite being a massive engine in terms of size it would be very interesting to compare the V10 weight against the original motor.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
