hey peeps.

currently running a 32 gtst 1990

current mods:

POD

FMIC

BOOST CONTROLLER

TURBO TIMER

HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH

COILOVERS

COILPACKS (SPLITFIRES)

What would my next step be? I am not sure whether to start modding the engine(fuel pump, oil can etc) or turbo I know i need a ECU, which i am getting next week. but should i install that after or before turbz and engine work?

i would grab a fuel pump, and look for a good 2nd rb25 turbo, and get some form of management either something like an safc if you dont want to spend all that much or a re-map of your ecu that should net you around the 180rwkw, if you want more power then get one of the high flowed turbos from slide. i would also look at some adjustable camber arms to help control camber from lowering the car

id get a complete nolothane bushe kit, helps with handling something shocking!! bushes in a 17year old car will be getting pretty worn...

then a rb25 turbo and a fuel pump and a SAFC2, then get the whole lot installed at once and tuned. see if you enjoy your new power.

    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
