Alpina BMW's. We're they sold here? Just had a E39 5 series with what could be 20 spoke wheels and Alpina badges go past me. I thought they were rare as hens teeth even in Europe.

Alpina BMW's. We're they sold here?

google said this:

http://www.alpinaaustralia.com.au/main.htm

"Alpina Bavarian Motorsport Production BMWs in Australia, since 1984, have been and are built /produced using only BMW Australia's Imported fleet of Right Hand Drive standard Australian Compliance plated BMWs.

LHD BMWs are not possible in Australia and thus Alpina Bavarian Motorsport RHD production chassis numbers are not related to ALPINA Gmbh's production fleet"

    • Get a timing light on it and verify it's sparking reliably at a sane ignition timing. Use a COP extension lead to be 100% sure about timing instead of hoping that the timing loop on the back of the engine is accurate. Make sure it's actually injecting fuel. MAF is not used on the stock ECUs for initial cranking.
    • RE5R01A is the transmission. Didn't realize they had a 5 speed for the NA cars but for some reason the turbo engines stuck to 4 speeds. Looks like the solenoid block is still available from Nissan directly at a somewhat reasonable price: 31940-60X01 https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/skyline/er33/6568-rb25de/trans/317 I would move sooner on this than later. The moment the de minimis exception for Japan goes away expect to be paying 25% tariffs even for stuff like this.
    • Only RB26 are low from factory. And even then the ECU actually want high impedance, because it's essentially the same ECU as the RB20 anyway, and thus they have a f**king resistor pack!
    • Is this preventable by priming the system with external oil pressure? I've seen the speed academy folks hook up an external oil priming system to the oil pressure sensor port with an air compressor to check for oil leaks before putting an engine back in a car. Something like this: https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/23550/10002/-1?gPromoCode=SPRINGINTOSPEED_APR25_5Off&gQT=1
