Stick a battery in it and try it.

Should be pretty close Dan, some coding but not to big a deal.

Wish fitting the thing in the hole was as easy. After changing it to a rear sump setup I've boxed myself into a corner somewhat.

Never did get around to posting these here. http://bimmersport.co.nz/uploads/gallery/album_179/gallery_674_179_153512.jpg http://bimmersport.co.nz/uploads/gallery/album_179/gallery_674_179_20345.jpg http://bimmersport.co.nz/uploads/gallery/album_179/gallery_674_179_168756.jpg http://bimmersport.co.n...

Yes.

The price is the issue. Might make it impractical for yous fullas, where there are v8 boxs available, but for the likes of Willnz and myself it gives us a chance.

It doesn't have a separate bell housing, but there are two different front halves available. A V8 pattern and a 6 pattern.

Thread dig! The ZF S5D 320Z was used behind the V8s. The E34 3ltrs I believe it was. It uses a different front half case. The part numbers on Realoem.

They are Nodular Iron, not steel. Not sure I'd want to spin one to 8k, but am happy to spin my 6.2kg to 7.

Run it on an aftermarket ECU?

Was a bit bummed with it. Anyway, was a nice day today, so thought I'd wash some of the pine pollen off that gathers this time of year. Cursed stuff. Dropped it on its wheels, towed it outside, washed it. Feel betterer. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/uploads/1342334330/gallery_674_179_77798.jpg...

Done

I had intentions of trying to cut the bellhousing off an auto box and get it welded onto a e36 328i box, much like Andrew did with his turbo, but have not done anything more than get a M60 auto box, so not sure how practical it would be. Yeah, I guess it depends on the cost of the front casing vs t...

After some quick realoem browsing, and after spending awhile trying to find the v8 5 speed under e34 (all e39s are listed 6speed?) the part numbers for the internals and the rear half of the casing appear to be the same. Sooo, theoretically, a flywheel/clutch and front casing is all we need for a v8...

Ever notice how similar the rear housing of the 6 cylinder ZF box is to the V8 5speed box? Ahem.....

Aint that the truth.

There's a thread with your v8 round 'ere somewhere no? Cant find it, want pics, this thing could do with a few more cylinders....

Can I play?

I tried to convince her the lounge was the best place to store a bed till it's thrown out. No one ever listens to me.

As for my upside down welding, ever seen the Waitomo caves?

Not so much an update, more of an 'I'm still here'.

Lots of work later... http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/uploads/1274601681/gallery_674_179_105096.jpg This rear quarter was a bit rough so needed a bit of work http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/uploads/1274601681/gallery_674_179_96616.jpg Final shaping to be done on front. http://www.bimmersport...

So, for anyone who gives a sh*t, this is how the flares are created. The std flare is cut off and the inner and outer skins are welded to each other. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/uploads/1271822225/gallery_674_179_42615.jpg http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/uploads/1271822225/gallery_674_17...
