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 attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
