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...

    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
