Bi-monthly contribution to the car industry, seems weekly at this velocity lol.

Needed an undertray to protect debris and stuff flying into the engine bay which may or may not have caused my power steering belt to pop off at the track.

Turns out OEM plastic one is quite hard to come by so this alloy one was chosen instead. They're readily available and also cheaper than a brand new OEM one.

Oh yeah new dust sheilds for the rose joints because Black Friday sale dis dat.

who made the undertray? obviously the main shape is pretty simple but looks like it has a large 90 bend too which is not so easy to do neatly in the shed

Greg Kruse Tech lol..

Funny enough he's bought a F80 M3 and racing it.

I sense GKtech parts for it now. He does post things on what he plans to do and you can tell the BMW FBO purists are eye twitching and getting all hot and bothered LOL...

It's like getting a custom exhaust, using SP Mufflers, an AES valve, etc. BMW fan boys will all have heart attacks.

I reckon you nearly could email Greg and tell him he needs to make them lol.

But at the same time, he's too busy playing with his F80 M3 now.

  • 2 weeks later...

OEM clutch on the fan assembly seized, probably why it always sounds like a taxi.

Went online to buy a new aftermarket clutch, turns out it doesn't fit.

Shit box..

can you measure the PCD for the fan and the coupling? I just went through this on the stagea and have a GKTech adapter I can't use that might fix your problem

Will head down into the garage of sadness soon 🥲

Isn't the consensus with these, oem only. Everything else is shit seems to ring a bell. 

EFI Solutions has no stock 😞

Just Jap wants $649 

Lol...

This one is already a 2nd, 2nd hand one 😭

I've destroyed two already, they don't seem to like high RPM and track use. Them seem to seize and become static units.

Might have to buy a 3rd, 2nd hand one...

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
