So judging by the photos above I have a small case. Where did I get 3.25... My friend had it laying around for many years... That diff changed hans so many times that it had more owners than some honda civics:D I welded it like 6 or maybe 7 years ago and it went lost so exact origin is unknown:D Bum...

I asked a lots of people and they just confused me :) I was told that the medium/big case diffs are those with diagonaly places screws for filing and draining oil and then again I was told that 3,25 diffs came only in medium/big case and now i'm confused. I have 3.25 and 3.91 and they look the same ...

It all depends on your ride height. If you have a low setup you might end up with crapy suspension and crapy handling...

Ecu and ews have to be from the same car along with the key.

As for the clocks.. not sure, you might start it...but it would be smart to know if it's all ok (warning lamps etc...)

The problems I've heard of are second and third gear synchronous and we've had a one gearbox that locked up in third gear during drift run.

Also I've heard that some had problems with Reverse gear.

It all comes down to what purpose you're using your car. If it's a dailydriver then you should consider 6 speed and longer diff, for more ride comfort. But if it's a driftcar then 6 speed isn't the best option since it is prone to defects and if you have inappropriate diff you might end up with unfo...

Probably Oxy sensor, or maf/lmm. Anything else would show other simptoms unless the ecu is in the service/emergency mode.

There are plenty of build threads in this forum section, just look a bit harder. Booster relocation is quite an straight forward job, things you should worry are like exhaust, radiator, electrical wiring, position of the engine (alternator hitting the chassis rail) etc etc... You have my build threa...

F#ck yeah

now that's something!

Finished car looks just awesome man

Niceeeee

I am

I found that easier than finding an orignal m42 e30 manifold

If you got an e36 manifold you can fit it with minor adjustment

I cut out about 2 3cm out of the bottom part of the exhaust and welded it back with slightly different angle

As far as I know no. Only if you make an adapter plate.

What year is the m42 engine? Most probably you have EWS problems.

I've changed the cluster and now it's all working. Temp gauge, fuel gauge tacho all, all I've got is a minor problem with twitching of the gauges, probalby just lose ground somewhere.

So facts to note m10 cluster will not work on m40/42 engine

I've changed the black to brown one, it took me like 3 hours and tones of nerves and it still refuses to work. Is it possible because I have inst. cluster that was originaly from m10 engine?

btw the black one is two pin and brown single pin

Ok it's like this. What I have and what I don't have I don't know. All I do know is that my fuel gauge isn't showing me how much fuel do I have :) But what I've noticed that there were couple of different types of fuel meters. Plastic and aluminum housing. And the thing is that I'm struggeling to fi...

So no mods needed

thx mate

Hi.

I've pulled out my V8 and put in is lump, now I can't get engine temperature signal to instrument cluster. Does anyone know how to solve this problem.
I know that i need 1 pin m40 sensor, but is there a place where I can stick it or do i have to fabricate something...

It's been a while since i posted any updates, but I'm happy to report that things have started to move along and I've bought an engine. It's a 4litre m60 taken out of 740 e32. I've also found a 6 speed tranny, but I'm waiting with purchase until i find flywheel and whole clutch assembly. If i don't ...

Sure it can be done. Temperature sensor is needed, and as close as you can get it to the engine better it is. Wiring is simple, you just need to use relay and thick enough cables or else you risk fire in engine bay :) I'm thinking that the best place to put a tem. sensor would be either thermostat h...

Jonsku it's on hold at the moment. I've got so many problems in my life at the moment that it's just not possible to do anything. I can't manage to service my truck and i work with him, that's how much f*cked up i'm at the moment. But luckily i've found an engine and it's still in the car (e38 740i ...

You can make ones by yourself if you're willing to invest 3 to 4 hours more. I did my mounts in 4 hours, with no problems at all. I took 5mm steel sheet, cut out two plates, one to fit the engine, and the other to fit the rubber mount, then i drilled out the holes, mounted them both, found some piec...

I'm afraid you'll have to take everything appart. Maby you have damaged o-rings on the hydraulic tensioner during the assembly. And if oil leaks, there is not enough pressure, and the chain is not tensioned correctly.....

my 5cents worth thought

Nice

Congrats!

My search has extended to uk :D that's how much 540e34 we have around here :D I can find an engine that was fitted with an auto tranny, but what good does it do to me, when i still need 6 speed tranny and a flywheel. I have an offer engine 800â‚¬ 5 speed 100â‚¬ and flywheel assembly for aprox 100â‚¬...

Hi. Some of you may be wondering what's going on with my build, and i've got some bad news :) It's going nowhere. I got screwed up over the engine (m60b40), sold my engine, and now i ain't got notthing to put in :) At this moment i'm searching for an engine but the market is empty. No engine in sigh...

Hi. Yes, the alternator location will stay the same. Belts are no problem, i just have to messure the lenght, and when you have the lenght it's not so hard to find one that fits from the catalog. Well the new hold up, is that the buyer never came for the engine. It's still sitting in my garage, and ...

Which one did you buy? Nissens? Valeo or something like berh?

About the driveshaft.... that's the plan, I'm just a bit afraid, we might screw it up somewhere and then i'll have those annoing vibrations
