Change your username to BOV Psssssssssssssssssssssssht then :D

Dose pipe installed, should dose pretty good :)

Last night, connected up all of the harness, re-pinned the CAS connector, and installed a new VCT plug to suit the R34 NEO head.

Next big challenge is to make all the oil lines for the oil relocator and oil cooler.

Overnight parts from Australia. This should help me blow the gear box faster!

It already grinds 2nd, 3rd, 4th and the input shaft has heaps of free play.

might have to till the box goes boom lol...

from there, well I am not sure.. these are my options:

  • New OEM Box, use it till it goes boom again
  • CD009 Conversion
  • PPG helical set

Started it on 14 month E85 lol... (dw cuz, has ethanol stabiliser in it)

Primed the oil first till it dribbled out of the relocator, plugged in the CAS and to my surprise it actually fired! I roughly rescaled the injectors on my old map and flattened out the timing as I now have no idea where peak torque would/could be made on this motor.

As of last night (after the car starting) all fluids are topped up and will take it for a light spin tonight. I've filled up the entire tank with 44L of 98RON, so might take it for a lap tonight and dump the oil before I start to push it a bit :)

Close to it so many times, believe me.

However if someone walked up right now and asked to trade for a N55 335i I would swap straight up.

    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
    • Sequential Is fine to drive on the street
