Ok a bit of progress, if all goes to plan the car will be going up to A&T autos in Toowoomba early next week and receiving a Stage Three (full manual, no more ecu bs) transgo shift kit and a 3000~ stall converter...

I'm just trying to get it ready for this drag day, I have to take it down and chop a certain silver maxima lol

got drag slicks? pineappled your dif? tightened up your rear shocks?

your not ready!

Ok bit of an update, kinda:

*Stage three transgo shift kit has been ordered

*3200 stall to suit my cam has been ordered through the converter shop in brissy

*new tires will be purchased this arvo (only skinny ones as I need them before Monday and no one stocks big ones

*had a talk to Jamie from Forced performance in Toowoomba and confirmed i will be getting a cam package (cam springs pushrods tune) through those guys as soon as the box is finished, ended up going a comp cam 232/234 112lsa lumpy stick and have had the converter built to suit this

*car is booked in for Monday to begin the box overhaul

Also fitted yesterday:

Fitted this afternoon

*new rear tires (just pissy 235s)

*new battery clamp

*new earth cable

*new brake pads

i always thought you were some jerk with a NA skyline,

and then i read this, yes it is a NA but its a LS1 - fair play son

I dont understand how people miss that fact, its written, right there <<<< :P

But yes I wouldn't doubt the fact that I'm still some jerk with an NA skyline (#@t5iv #@Sabbi #@Cadmoon #@olloSKYLINEollo they'll confirm this lol), but yer it's a much more formidable force with the V8 now compared to the old Natro RB.

I'm just glad someone's reading my ramblings

Good luck nick,hope she flys for ya.

Thanks :wub: ... I'm just waiting for the 15th so I can drive it

    • 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
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 馃槄   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
