i reckon its still possible to do it with the neo intake plenumn..coolant temp sensor can be swapped.. aac valves still operate as a 12V solenoid. throttle body can be swapped for an R33 one. etc

Yeah if you swapped the TPS you could do it, more the plumbing I was concerned about, not sure how different everything shapes up, lengths etc. Would need to change the injector loom though as the plugs are no doubt different.

I am using all R32 loom up to the ignitor, I chopped the old plug off and used the R34 coils that have the ignitor built in and wired a nice new deutsch plug on the end removing the ignitor, plug looks better than factory! about $35 for all the pins etc but I know it will last forever now.

Using rb20det R32 ecu with a nistune module, R34 cas rewired (pin out is different) 1-4 2-3 3-4 4-1, Z32 afm and S1 r33 intake manifold with aux air valve, throttle body, tps etc. Basically looks like S1 rb25det everything with r34 coils.

Try and get a complete R33 intake/fuel setup etc as the r34 sensors etc are all different, different coolant lines etc, different fuel rail and injector loom, so have no idea how it would all mount up.

Cheers for the cas info rolls...

If I get there.. I'll be using the whole rb20 loom and ign, re-wiring the cas plug and adapting the mechanicals/sensors to the new manifolds.

If the 25/30 slapper fails I just built, I'll get a stagea neo.

absolutly! the best part of modded knuckles is the reduction of ackerman which means u can travel at angle, faster, as the front tyres aren't scrubbing out

It still looks pretty wrong in still shots!!! :nyaanyaa: It looks like the suspension has failed LOL

But i bet it makes a hell of a difference when sliding, not that you needed any help :thumbsup:

Just read all 22 pages, awesome build mate, reading this makes me want to get started on mine sooner. Good stuff!

So how did the gtx go compared to the non gtx?

Also whats the reason for the r33 TB instead of the r34 one?

Good work mate! :cheers:

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • 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.
