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.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
