A bit off topic, whatever you do don't choose the KAAZ pill... I did... Lol. It's very aggressive, I even had a diff shop make it less aggressive, I assume they either played around the plates or removed a few. Either way, it still drives very aggressively compared to my mates with Nismo diffs in their S13s, S15s. -
Lol... Yep, that's me 😂 2x blown motors later, countless snapped anti roll bar brackets (when running super stiff ARBs were cool, I no longer follow that methodology), warped rotors etc.
-
This does come up in conversation with my mates however we only have 1x car so if I take it to tow the shit box my wife and son are stranded at home. Also as per @ActionDan's point the trailers for hire are hit and miss. Some are great and some days they're just awful and you're left scratching your head how it's even road worthy (these are the ones you see at BP).

That is a bit of a funny once, generally with misfires you will read lean as the oxygen in part of the mixture has not combusted. The only plausible scenario I can think of is both fuel and ignition trims at play trying to keep the motor idling with the poor spark before. Potentially it may have been tuned to compensate for slight misfire at idle and now that the combustion is sex spec the idle closed loop strategy is pegged to add in more fuel but it's maxed out.

Jesus... Crazy how much of a price difference it is just across the water.

Don't get me wrong they're decent tyres, but if budget permits AD09 would be better (marginally, according to a few on Bimmerpost). For me, the difference between RS4 and AD09 was $60 per corner and needed to be ordered in. The RS4 was in stock, ready to be fitted.
-
Go RS-4 out of your list, I went from always running semi slicks (Nitto NT01, Nankang AR-1) to a set of Hankook RS-4 to make the car more streetable with the odd track day here and there (circuit). They hook up very well from cold and handle "ok" in the rain, I even took the car last Tuesday to the track in the rain. Yeah was hilarious trying to put power down or take turns at 80~100km/h and trying to chase down the Euros guys with superior track slaying machines from factory.

Here we go, some really old photos. -

Yes, I did the same thing before. You'll need a new pick up, new sump. The brackets cannot be used. At the time I ended up an ASR kit, made for a RB26 to RWD conversion sump. Food for thought, because the oil pick up is moved forward you'll in theory be pulling oil from a higher oil level when your rear end squats and/or your front end is elevated during heavy acceleration. I cannot confirm if this is the root cause of my previously built motor lunching itself however it was due to oil starvation (which could have been from various things). -
Or buy my R33 as your daily, climate control, non squealing Brembos, subwoofer, rolling anti lag and flex fuel 😅

asif they would want to pay for that, they're too stubborn I bet. No business owner likes being told what to do, it's hard enough in the corporate world teaching an old dog new tricks. I deal with boomers all day in the industry I work in and trying to get them to adopt tech is as hard as teaching your dog to not piss on your couch during their final years.

Even a kanban on a white board with magnetic tiles where you can list the part, customer name, order number. Different tiles, different category of work/part. Not hard, just needs discipline. They should hire me, I'll show them true Asian efficiency. Duma.

And no need to carry 5x jerry cans each time I go to the track, BMW probably will come/leave with the same tank of fuel! Old Wakefield Park days... there was another jerry can in the boot along with tools
-
Then why do we mod our 90s shit boxes to try match the performance of these Euros? twin scroll turbos, traction control, motorsport grade ABS, retrofitting DCT/ZF boxes, variable cam timing, etc.?
-
What pads are you running? I can help with Intima SR pads if you want something streetable and not squealy
-
That pretty much sums it up! The casual M2 guys at Wakefield before literally just threw on semis, better pads, a tune off their phone, 1/3 of an exhaust system and they're doing 1m5~8s.
-
At Wakefield, on a dry day I was only a few seconds behind them, but once the track conditions are not optimum you can really see the gap widen! These guys are abusing the stability control, traction, ABS like crazy (I would too).
-
I would take it to the track, think about the amount of money I've spent on my shit box - it's comparable. Also I would rather push it on the track instead of on the streets or twisty roads, etc.
-
Last night you would see the M cars & Euro cars push into turns later, brake later, etc. They were having fun, albeit there were sheets of water on the track. Meanwhile all the 90s JDM shit boxes without any stability/traction control etc. were literally cruising around the track. Luckily enough I have working ABS so could brake a bit later than others.
-
Opened to the idea of a M2 Comp, M3 Comp swap with a bit of cash your way
-
Probably the most quiet mildly powered R33 one has heard, the solid lifters are louder than the exhaust lol
