Or it's painfully slow.

I came from 302rwkw 33 GTR so I think it might be the fact that it's painfully slow!

lol my r32 felt like a rocket when we test drove it. used to it now, no different to the mercer i was driving before.

needs more power, not going for more though, not till it looks how i want it to look.

btw, how did getting those pods off go?

just thought about heating up some wire and going thru the sikashit, but you could cut the pods too

found a dude interested in trading his bmw e36 m3 for my 34 but he wants 4-5K on top...

cons - its smg with 190Ks on the clock

pros - mint condition 98 model full books etc. updated smg. later 3.2l engine not 3.0. sunroof etc

thoughts?

i wouldnt do it, the first smg wasnt very good it got better in the e46 range plus its not going to be as fast as your car now. id save a bit more and go for a e46 m3. plus thats a shitload of km on an engine that im sure has been thrashed. also if you want a e36 m3 id keep looking and go for a manual, there will be less hassles.

Haven't heard from friend yet as the car is at his parents in law now, will ask him and see what's the go.

was at a carpark. Next to me was a Toyota 4wd. Family was getting into the car. Im standing next to my car, getting the feeling that a door is gonna whack into my car.

Kid runs up to his parents 4wd, opens his door and flings it into my car. Doesnt even notice as he tried to climb into the 4wd. His parents already sitting in the car, I shout out to the kid. He says "Sorry" and turns his back to jump into the car. Tell him wtf, and inspect the damage. His parents are still sitting inside the car, dont even lower the window or anything. Just waiting for the kid to hop into the car.

Door opened and hit the side mirror. Didnt leave any mark luckily. Considering how their parents reacted to their kid hitting someones car I doubt they would have been keen on fixing any damage.

If I wasnt there either, they would have driven off without a care in the world.

f**k i hate people

e46 m3 would be a dream but they are double what the e36s are selling for atm. as for Ks im not too fussed, ive read there are e36 m3s with 400Ks+ and still going smooth. it all comes down to maintenance/history

speed wise im not fussed either, i'd rather a more all rounder type car

im not a fan of a clutch hence why im interested in the smg. clutchless manual would be good for me.

i'll keep looking i guess

You got no luck pat. My neighbor even parks in his car spot away to the left so he doesn't accidentally knock his car door into my car (live in apartment so shared secure parking). Also told his gf to be careful too haha. And I always take pics of the Regos of cars that are parked next to me. Expecially if it's a shitbox

if your 100% keen on it and its exactly what you want than by all means go for it but if your not too sure than keep looking, the right one will pop up eventually. its just ive heard the smg's in the e36's werent very good until the e46 range came out. unless his has been overhauled and replaced.

im 100% keen on an m3 coz well yes its exactly what i want. but yeah not this one. might hold out and save up for a e46, i've noticed they are dropping in price so yeah even an smg one would be alright

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
