I'm guessing it's still an alternative as opposed to forking out big money and re-tuning and re-calibrating computers and things etc. Still cool how they still use and do such things.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but it's almost like a piggy back or a Apexi SAFC but it's for your Throttle and sits between that and the ECU?

Interesting, so you have a separate throttle controller as opposed to making changes on the ECU? I'm guessing BMW don't let you tinker with this stuff?

Hey soviet_merlin, Yeah I can imagine that stock cars that come with dbw from the factory are probably much different. I myself have probably driven rental cars and such with that technology. However, as you say the computers are setup much differently, I imagine. Dare I say the guys who set mine up for me spent some time doing some calibration and tuning etc. But they definetly have done a good job and I can honestly say that my DBW setup feels much better than the previous 80mm Throttle Body Cable setup.

Honestly, it's so much better like I have no issues with any of the above. Dare I say it I did go to a smaller throttle body as well, so weather its one or the other or a combination of both I couldn't say. But I can say I think it definitely feels much better and drives much better, but yeah, I'd say calibration / setting up and tuning it properly plays a big part too. The guys who done this for me have done a great job. I can honestly say at this point it is much better that it previously was with the 80mm throttle body and cable throttle. As for people saying its slow, I'm guessing it's the kind of people who think they can do things better and faster than a computer maybe lol.

Hey Dose Pipe Sutututu, I can say yup I wish I had too, I probably would have done it when I first started putting the car back together had I known such options were possible or available. But yeah the car just feels better all around and drives so much better now too. Sooo good!

Thanks PranK, I'm honestly amazed at how one much different the car feels and drives due to the modern technology upgrade.

Hey Lithium, Good to hear from you, hope all is well, and that's good to know, I'll try coming along to catch for one in the near future. And yeah, apparently going down this route unlocks a whole lot of other possibilities so I thought it might be the go.

Hey Watermouse, So didn't use a kit of any kind, but we used a bosch accelerator pedal and a 74mm bosch electronic throttle body. A bracket had to be made up to fit the pedal along with an adaptor so the throttle body could be bolted to the intake manifold / plenum.

Small Updates, Idle motor broke so have converted to drive by wire.

Yeah im definitely keen, if the weathers nice and all for sure. I've lost track of where everyone goes, last time I went out would probably have been Hard Park this year.

Im definitely keen, might have to organise a meet up some time or something :-)

Its been a while I guess since I last updated, Ended up having to get new seats so got some R33 GTR Front Seats, and got the catch can redone so it now has a drain etc.

Hey guys, was having a bit of a nostalgic moment and bought Street Fighter the 30th Anniversary Edition and was playing Street Fighter 3 Third Strike. I could be wrong but does that look like a baby blue Skyline / R32 in the corner there?

Was definetly fun going for a lurk, went for a drive earlier on too after dinner and had some fun on the motorway with a Maserati Gran Turismo ?
