Hey guys!


It's time for me to move on to another platform. This car has been great and I truly enjoyed the build I did with N54. Unfortunately, the bug to move on is too great for me to ignore :D. As such, I will like to put this car for sale at $85k for a well equipped and balanced N54 with just 27,500km.


This is how I derived the above sale price:


Carsales average sale price for N54 with ~30,000km: $50k.

Modification cost to date (refer list below): $88,690 installed.

Depreciation on mods ~60%.


Sale Price: $50k (stock N54 with ~30,000km) + 40% of Modification Cost to Date = $85k


I think this is a great bargain for car enthusiast intending to get into the BMW platform as you are only paying 40% of the actual modification cost. In addition, all the waiting time and tuning quirks have been ironed out and as such, this car is ready to be enjoyed on the street and the track. Recent performance at Racewars 2015 can be seen here: (http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1124595).


It should be noted that this car outperformed many 650hp-750hp cars on a straight line and this car should be able to generate more "g" at turns than most cars as the track width (no spacer) has been widened as per the list below. In addition, VAC engine oil baffle has been installed to eliminate oil starvation issue during high "g" turns.


E92 Prior Design Widebody with 18" x 10.5" ET5 (NO SPACER):

Front Track Width: 1628mm or 64.1"

Rear Track Width: 1619mm or 63.8"


For comparison:

Stock 335i E92:

Front Track Width: 1500mm or 59.1"

Rear Track Width: 1513mm or 59.6"


M3 E92:

Front Track Width: 1540mm or 60.6"

Rear Track Width: 1539mm or 60.6"


M3 E92 GTS:

Front Track Width: 1546mm or 60.9""

Rear Track Width: 1539mm or 60.6"


Nissan R35 GTR:

Front Track Width: 1596mm or 62.6"

Rear Track Width: 1600mm or 63"


Corvette C6 ZR1:

Front Track Width: 1613mm or 63.5"

Rear Track Width: 1588mm or 62.5"

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
