hey would you seperate the front calipers? pmsent

At the moment i think i have a set organised, will get in touch with you if it falls through. Thanks Guys

dont supse you would seperate the calipers from the discs?

boj01, i tried to reply to your pm again, but i dont know that its working Im guessing it should come up in sent folder if it had.....?? but ill take them,

Chasing some 4 spot calipers for a upgrade im doing on my car, the rotors i will be using are e36 M3 discs which are 28mm wide, from my understanding the r33/32 (and maybe 300zx?? (z32?)) also use 28mm discs, correct? basiclly looking for a set of complete working calipers, not worried about pads as i can source my own, but they come with, and have a bit of life left, then all the better anyway thought this would be a good place to ask, Thanks

just had an idea sugested to me, go out and get a '79 320i 2.0L (an example) engine out of a junk yard. Rebuild it and throw into the 318. then turbo it later...... The factory 2.0 had a longer throw crankshasft at 80mm instead of the 71mm of the 1.8 in the 318. I think thats what the difference was. They had the same piston size at 89mm. The big difference was that the 2.0 had a double roller cam timing chain while the 1.8 had only a single roller cam timing chain. Bmw did turbo a 2002 back in the 70's. So the engine can handle it for sure. what do you think??

meaning.... a bonnet scoop?

excelent, thanks heaps for that robin. ill have to talk with some bmw people, see whats available etc, but im keeping that info.... the more i think about it, and the more i get told, the easier the sr sounds to do. the gearbox goes in no worries and lines up with the hole and everything. and then nissan nose just needs to be welded on to the tailshaft. i think that ill just go with the sr.... (sigh) would have liked a bigger one, but i probably dont need it, i know i wont need it. maybe later, ill be happy with the 2L turob, ill get some mods for it... he he thanks for all the info guys, really aprechiate it. if you can think of any think else to add, please do

ok thanks heaps for that, craved. ill definitly look into it!! how big are the rb20 gearbox's? are they the same as rb25? if not are they interchangable?

the 1jz would be a awesome transplant i think, what about the gearbox, tail shaft ect, any idea how that would go? i understand this is a nissan forum, ill ask on a toyota one, but any help/ personal oppinions greatly aprechiated thanks

like steering, cornering, braking ect? if the engine was way heavier. would upgrading the suspension and brakes (i know you have to do this with a bigger engine anyway) be the best way to hinder these problems? and get the car handling better?

yeah.... thats the biggest problem i have been told.... custom manifold ect.... does any one know much about the 1jz twin turbo soarer engine? how do you think that that would go in the BMW? just trying to look at as many options as i can before i decide. is having a 50/50 wight ratio really important? why? thanks

LOL... thinking about the skyline engine in the BMW... does that count?? ha ha yeah robin if you could post that when and if you get a chance that would be awesome, thanks

email this guy, [email protected] , its a european parts place in melbourne, they have helped me out a fair bit, not to pricy. dont know, they will probably have to order it in aswell though, other than that cant help you sorry. unless you try and get in contact with the NSW bmw club, they might be able to help you out http://www.bmwclubnsw.asn.au/

i actually thought about that couple months ago.... would be a good idea, then get it turbo'd later, he he sorry to hear about your mates bimmer blowing the diff and screwing the tailshaft, i will have to get a better diff though, its got the stock one (non LSD) dont know the specs, but ill definitly upgrade.... thanks for the advice Ronin 09,
