IIRC I used an E36 one from as local breakers. Remember to get the plug and a bit of wiring with it,to splice into the existing loom

You on the ZX me on the VTR?

I might be up for this but would probably take the van so I could sleep in it. **** humping a tent down on a sports bike.

No room on the 10R for a tent.

I'm unable to make it now.

I'll check to see if I can get a couple of weeks off and do a mini tour of Normandy prior to Thursday qualifying. (D-Day beaches,Pegasus bridge and U boat sub pens etc etc) instead of the Alpine passes,black forest etc.

I'm a maybe at the moment.

Bought a ZX10R,got an expensive stag do in April, wedding in Somerset in May(plus associated accommodation and alcohol costs) and am in the planning stages of a possible eurotrip in August/September.

Funds could be pretty tight.

Could take the bike instead,I suppose.

I have used a 140amp alt from an E38 with split charging. I did have to modify the mountings and make up a mounting bracket to get it lined up with the PS/water pump pulleys. What engine was it? Would you be able to point me towards any guides or anything? Any help is much appreciated! It was on an...

What pads are people running on their E38 Brembo's? Lurch I read somewhere the Honda S2000 discs have been used with the R32 calipers. I would be starting with standard ones, remember if you start using performance pads you are going to have issues getting heat in to them to get them up to optimum ...

Ok cool.ill mock up the caliper and disc first.see how much i need and what size it'll be.then i can go from there.ill make it from wood or something first just seen some on ebay.inch thick plates 200mm by 84mm for a couple of quid.bargain :-) MDF is good for mock ups as it works easily. You wont n...

IIRC R33/R34 skyline calipers are pretty similar to E38 Brembo's and use the same pad. IF the calipers are Brembo's and I think they are,then you'll have problems fitting anything less than a 302mm disk with those calipers. I know coz I tried it quite a few years ago with 302x28mm disks and they sq...

Unable to commit at this time.

The barge has been neglected for a while and needs works when funds allow.

Waiting for a verdict on whether it's cost effective putting an MOT on it or opting to frag it and sell the brakes/suspension/diff/interior and buy a B10 V8,B3 or M5

At least we're making an effort. Even though we may turn up in something which didn't originate from Bavaria

Looks like Ritchie and me will be making an appearance along with Nick tomorrow.

Obviously not the E34 I had in mind then.

The one i mentioned may be a 535i sport. I've only noticed it in passing on a couple of ocassions

Would be a slammed grey/silver drift style chariot by any chance would it?

Sounds like a good opportunity to upgrade to eccentric poly's

Just wondering apart from brake fade on the track which I ain't gonna take my car on to is there any point in fitting bigger callipers and pads if all the wheels do is lock up? Larger diameter disks on there own allow the car to slow down further before you get "pad grab" I.E the wheels locking up....

Sorry Colin,I'm not heading across this year. Impending work closure on 11/5 (predicted)so I'll be there till my redundancy comes through. Also, my holiday year starts on 1/5 so not really worth taking a fortnight off just as the place is closing. May as well take as much ££££ out of the place as I ...

Anyone ever tried one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E30-Brake-Balance-Bar-Bias-Pedal-Box-Wilwood-Master-Cylinders-/120831928665?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c2224e959 I have one of the Compbrake ones (removed from am M3 rally car). I just haven't got round to fitting it ...

hoggie wrote:So I pressume using competition fluid over standard fluid gives no extra gain

All it does is increase the boiling point,and require more frequent fluid changes as it has a tendency to absorb moisture more quickly.

Sorry Dan,

I somehow recalled it to be the other way round.

E30 M3 master would probably be the better option then,unless you've got a set of powerlifters thighs

Some of those with M5x conversions are using 25.4 mm clio M/Cs with a spacer from the plastic winged cars.

I've no idea re other 7 series servo/master combo's fitments

You will get a noticeably firmer pedal with less travel which lacks "feel" if you move up to a 25.4mm M/C

E32 750 is the one you're looking for(25.4 mm)
Alternatively an E30 M3 one fits (23.?? mm)

BTW a stock M/C works fine with 4 pots and the M3 one works fine with 6 pots
M3 one has a 10mm and a 12mm outlet,so.you'd need to make up a new line.

Gary's car doesn't normaly come back on the road till the 1st of April(may be 1st of May) IIRC
It's only gets taxed for 6mths,and normally garaged for the winter months.

Looks like halfords lettering and a fake Alpina oil sticker to me.

A genuine 60K Alpina lump with service paperwork is a couple of grand,IF you can find one

A 100K 3,2L lump is circa £3k,again IF you can find one

Craig,
On my old E38 setup with 302mm disks, I ran a 30mm spacer so the wheels remained inside the wheel arch and cleared the caliper.
I could've probably gotten away with just using a 25mm spacer though

IIRC the the wheel was a 7"x 16" ET15.
I'd need to double check the ET just to be sure though.

If it's a 6 pot,then use the Mocal take off and blanking plate with a remote filter head and new cooler.

You'll then be able to specify fittings for 1/2" or 5/8" I.D hosing.

The stub is attached to the heater matrix.

You may manage to get enough access to replace it without removing the matrix.

Have you tried your local garages or motor factors??

That's normally my 1st port of call.

Some early sports had the 3.64 fitted with the CR gearbox.
Easiest way to check if it's a slipper is to jack up the rear of the car, turn 1 wheel and see if the other turns the same way.
If it does,then it's a slipper.
If the other wheel moves in the opposite direction then it's an open diff.

Wiznae mine.
It hasnae moved in 18mths

Just change the master, and while you're at it,change the slave at the same time.

If one has failed,then it probably won't be long before the other one needs to be replaced as well.

Stock M3 is 25% Mine is 40% I have heard of the ramps being tweaked to 75-80% for circuit use though After talking to Gareth i learnt that with the stock LSD the ramp angles can be changed to allow for 40% lock. However, with the addition of two more clutch plates, so there are now 4 clutch plate, ...
