know the feeling of thinking ahead and being an old khunt :P

Just sell it....you had your fun, and losing your license for 6 months will just take out any fun of it sitting in the driveway. Bummer, it really sucks that it comes to that. You're not a danger to society (i assume? ;)) you're a responsible guy, got a good job, etc and yet when it comes to the road your labelled a crim simply because the majority of the population can't drive properly or handle a car. ****ing sux. I just was having enough of that attitude myself in good ol VIC, amongst other things.

M3 would be cool.. if you don't want to spend heaps, maybe just something like a soarer, chaser or something. Some reckon the refinement is as good in some of the Luxury Lexus as the beamers and crap anyhow, except 1/3 the price. Cops won't hassle you because from the outside they look stock and heaps of oldies drive em. Spend evey buck on the interior and making the engine one ****ing stinker. Shove it right up the cops as you go past with 350+ at the wheels. I've seen the 1JZ-GTE handle that with stock internals so you only gotta worry about the external fluff..

Thats right, i would have been better off if i got out of the car when they stopped me, and then king kit one of em before they could say any crap about speeding. Then i would have just got a fine and walked out of court a free man.

Bracks takes all our $$ from faulty speed camera's, and then whens hes done with that he takes ur license!!!!

I doubt i will do any major emgine mods on next car, maybe exhaust, comp and some nice 19 inch rims.

The E46 M3 is still very expensive($100,000+)

The choice for the E36 M3 is the 1997+ 3.2 litre six speed manual box.

Early ones like a 1994 3.0 litre, 5 speed is ok. AVOID ALL SMG boxes. These are not the real deal.

But I have a bit of a problem paying $65,000+ or whatever for a 2nd hand car of that age. And the repairs can only be done at a BMW dealer.

I'd rather go safe and get a new or near new Falcon XR6T or a Mazda RX8.

I aint been reamed yet.

1st judge told me he would of let me off with a warning since i have never done any other stupid shit in 11 years of driving. Its all got to do with the new legislation that bracks's needle dick government has come in with recently, where it states if u were doing x amount over the speed limit u would loose your license for x amount of time, so the judge has no discression to rule even if u sped coz ur wife was dying and u had to get to the hospital and in 100 years u have never broken 1 law!!!

In any other state i would get off easy, coz apprently in vic speed kills everyone and everytime :cheers:!!!

FU*K U STEVE BRACKS!!!!

:bs!: :bs!: :bs!: :bs!:

If you have hospital records and prove the patient was transported in your car, you will be exempted.

From memory you were speeding down the monash/eastern late at night and got done by an unmarked (maybe off duty) police officer.

Do the crime be prepared to do the time.

If i am mistaken please feel free to elaborate, then i will appologise for my mistake (if any).

Hearing before mine had the same situation of guy rushing home to take sick pregnant wife to hospital and he lost for 12 months.

Mine was on princess highway and unmarked, but they pulled me over on gladstone road, after i had to stop for a red light to turn right and took off then was pulled over and told they were right behind me, yet i had time to stop completely and wait for a green arrow before they showed up behind me only when the light went green!! :bs!:

Yeah, M3 engines are ROCK SOLID! All BMW inline 6's are for that matter... why do you think they are so popular for the endurance races like Bathurst 24hr? If i'm not mistaken, the first Bathurst a 323i won, that's a car with 127kw's out of the factory. Bout 1350kg as well.

Yeah as Tony said, earlier M3 engines were only 3ltr till 1997. 215kw's or something like that, not a lot. But then 1997 onwards brought in the 3.2 with about 235kw's. And the E46 now has 256kw's.

In terms of modification, these are 3.2 ltr, straight six N/A's we're talking about here. BMW Motorsport have rung these puppies pretty dry, they're kinda at there limit as it is. Nothing like a RB25DET or RB26DETT.

Yeah, unless you've got the cash for a SMG II, don't bother. I know someone who was selling their 1997 Blue M3 for $47k i think. Maybe a little less.

328i Coupe/Convertible are sexy as cars, but if you can, try and stretch to the 330i range. Chalk and cheese those engines. 147kw's vs 170kw's. Soooooo smooth....

Is it just me, or is it everytime someone undertakes major mods, like Inasnt, it gets sold shortly after? I've seen it heaps, a major project gets finished, then a few months later, it gets sold? :confused:

cheers.

As of this writing, there are 107 detailed documented cases of bearing failure in M3 engines, and probably a couple hundred more that have happened but are not documented. That number continues to rise, and both BMW and BMWNA are doing nothing pro active about it.

:Oops: there goes my dream car....

I think you'll find that Bathurst cars aint exactly what you get to drive away from the dealership :D

I guess it depends what kind of rocks you are talking about... :bonk:

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
