Here's a shot just then, it's a bit dark.

I assume car won't dose as mad as it did with the Hypergear ATR45SAT 6+6 VL ulleh spec cast compressor, but fast is best.

Dose all comes down to the intake pipe. 

Man I miss the way mine used to flutter. 

Actually got told one day I really should remove the atmospheric BOV before another copper defects me for it... Full boost shifts used to sound like those stupid obnoxious atmo BOVs. 

Low boost shifts, or just rolling on and off the throttle used to make some nice long slow flutters... Mmmmm flutter...

Lek Shu baby, got some new Nissan coil packs and a new loom. As @WantGTR would say, it's "kinda cute".

Turbosmart 50mm single gate, should be plenty for this heap of shit car. Fitted up 4AN fittings and running teflon lines from the gate to the Turbosmart 4x port solenoid, all wired up to the Halalkebabtech.

Wish I never starting building this heap of shit and bought a BMW.

Anyhow, if anyone needs Turbosmart products, you know who to ask. I can get anything from their range at a competitive price :)

Look at the neat tool lay out.

My tools live in a couple of boxes which get tipped out to find stuff.

I keep thinking about what car I want next, I don't have a clue though, it does need to go around corners well, and be RWD, and manual......I'm a idiot.......

I get angry and yell at tools if I can't find them lol, hence they're all laid out nicely lolol.

Oh, that looks good.

I am scared of the reliability factor, BMW's were rubbish when I was growing up, poor after sales and blindingly expensive for parts and to service.

I was told if I really wanted one to buy it new and then sell it before the warranty ran out.

Have things changed?

Nope

in fact talking to someone who works at a bmw dealership every time one comes in for service they can send it out with an essay of repairs that are required

    • That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.   
    • There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.
    • Thank you Duncan, and I will say, before reading GTSBoy’s response, this was more or less my logic.  I can’t argue with that. The part I couldn’t get past was thinking that the speed sensor in the 30A was replacing whatever was in the AT transmission before, and therefore completing the prior circuit.   The other thing that I failed to mention was that, across all HKS documents, despite mentioning compatibility with AT R34s, there is no mention of a different pin. These Japanese instructions appear to predate early man, so there’s always room for error.    I’m speaking with the seller of this R34 GTT ECU with Nistune at the moment. It’s pretty cheap and eliminates the possibility of me soldering my fingers to the ECU when installing the board myself. I am yet to confirm whether the base ECU is from an MT or AT car, so the question is: When using an MT ECU in an AT car, and then losing the TCU part, are there any other implications?   Another thing I’m not sure of is whether I can pass local regs with a TCS warning. Of course, swapping between ECUs is a fairly simple task.
    • yeah i have done it on my efr8374.. no issues.. sent it to OCD Works in the US.. locally i know hi spool industries do the mod as well
