Lol upgrading? hmmmm! updating maybe! newer isn't always better, I'm sure if I ever want a slow big family car a m35 would be the first on my list .

Only joking guys :) I got love for ya all ;)

Bigkev let's have cruise soon , even if I haven't got the new diff and cradle set up in the good stag done nill bring the stocky out

Check if snow car. Underbody rust.

Service history, because lack of will result in premature turbo death, which, is inevitable at some stage. Check all driveshafts, boots, and suspension bushings. Particular ones flog out. Wheel bearings.

Check CD player and AC is working. All windows work, motors flog out.

I'm sure some others will add other points.

Look forward to getting your Autech AXIS!

Two can shit stir mate!

Something else broke so I have a couple of things to fix then cruise time.

Dude, a c34 is far from a fun car to work on lol.

Ok great times yes, but 2 manual conversions, both turbos off of the 260, moving crank with no timing belt... They have given me a few head aches!

Like the c34, any rust points more seriose than others? And what are common problems with these?

I know a turbo is quite a common drama, but how hard is it to do yourself?

This ones cheap as f**k... It has to have some dramas....

Classic! Chef's back on the wagon he he! I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that your are buying your fourth, or that I have had the same one the entire time! Welcome home :-)

I've done both those things at the same time.

Watch out for those cracked subframes Chef

C'mon guys, he's after performance, not an empty wallet. He went with the stronger and more reliable engine.

I haven't died yet Daleo, my subframe has refused to crack, even after many track thrashings running sticky semi's. I have no idea what you Sydney guys are doing to the subframes to cause those hairline cracks...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
