Some Euro-trash. Just put some 12.5mm spacers on the front of the BMW and lowered it around 1.5" all around. I think the rear could comes down a little more but overall I'm really happy with the stock-but-tougher look.

My Supra

Twin hybrid turbos, cams, decat, exhaust & a syvecs. Should be running about 450-460hp. Desperate to get back in a GTR though :(

What's missing from the Supra that you'd be keen to get into a GTR for? Never driven a Supra so keen to know.

Nothings missing as such, Its a brilliant car to drive & is a lot of fun on the right road (on others its down right scary :laugh: )

I'd always wanted a GTR & sold mine way earlier than I wanted to :( Got some unfinished business with it :D

I like that! I'd hate to know how much you spend on fuel in it though with UK prices! :O

Very nice collection mate :thumbsup: Still have a big soft spot for the E36 M3. Yours is a 3.2 (Evo) yeah? A 1996, judging by the series 1 grille but series 2 rims, clear indicators and Estoril colour. Props if it's the 6 speed manual.

Here's my other contribution. 0-100km/h in 7.0 flat, not bad for 1970kg! :D

Matt, what is it a 740 or 750? You know your Beemers as you're spot on. It's a 96, 3.2 Evo and yes a factory 6 speed. Most of the SMG cars are now manual converted as the pumps die and they're $9k for a new one, and all for a transmission that doesn't work that well at best. I love the way they look!

Most of my cars are what I ached for as a youngster but could just never own because of the $$. Ahh, nostalgia.

Enjoying this thread,

Super cool. I bet it's nice to drive? But 1970kgs!?! Holy schmoly thats a large lass!

Cheers boys! :) Christian, it cost a fair bit to put right (but would've cost even more had I bought parts from here instead of the States) but it was fairly cheap to acquire. 1 owner car with books, so that gave me some confidence. And yep you definitely feel the 5.1 metres and 2 tonnes when cornering, but it's sooo relaxing to roll to work and back!

Yeah Nick, it's a '99 740iL with the M62 4.4. Like the S52 they can have some Vanos issues but otherwise pretty solid unit as long as it gets the proper maintenance. Ah ok, I have seen quite a few converted ones on Carsales. I know a little about the E36 M3s as I have been very close to buying one in the past, just couldn't find the right one. I can totally relate to the idea of acquiring cars that one used to want as a teenager too. The E38 and the GTR are two of those cars, for me. So I consider myself lucky!

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
