that would be a secret

morris marina land crab 1800tc . what a boat . nissan vanette . yes used one for a few weeks doing the home to work run pokeno to hernebay ,. and yes they rev hard at 100km/h , got so sick of the noise used to just drive it at about 1.4 times the speed limit down the bombays all the awy to papakura just to make the trip quicker

yes good watching have been followin g some of the series he does on sky discovery over the years also latly on the interweb . also newish series Wreck-Rescue http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Wreck-R...-Eye_728154.htm

use a bolt head that fits in then screw 2 more nuts on to it to lock them , you can then use a spanner or socket on the end

just be carfull you will spend a lot of money doing that type of conversion and the car will be worth less than what you put in if you use a non bmw engine . why not sell it and buy a M3 then super charge it if you not happy with the power of it . super charger kits are readily availible and easy to fit and pull off when you sell the car etc

is it the alpine type or the pioneer type??? i have spare pioneer types

turbo or super charger is probably better in the long run . power to weight etc

i think brett cowan has used some sort of rose jointed stuff in the back of there M3 race car .

if he finds a nice auto one , i have a manual conversion kit to go in one

yup something like that yea getting abit rare these days , done to only 3 piles now..

i managed to find one in a local euro wrecker here thats fits my e34 perfectly (came from a bmw e34) very handy thing to have

oh ok . nothing complete at this stage , just parts and semi complete parts cars if you want to make one up

i make sept 98 onwards is m62b44tu

yes i know what you mean , we had a 1999 540i touring for a while , very quick car for a tank, about 6secs to 100km/h . loads of torque too. but i didn't like the way the power just stops at 5200rpm , where as the old m60B40 goes past 6000rpm . and yes you wont be swapping yours over to a m62b44tu to many differences in the electronics . just super charge yours if you want more power

why a 525i , why not a 528i or 535i etc ??

have you checked the dizzy cap and rotor??? if they are worn or cracked you wont get any or good spark. also check/replace main 2 relays , you could try another ecu if all else fails to get it going.

check the fuel pressure regulator. check there is no fuel coming out of the vac hose thats connected to it .

engine pics , 1st pic M62 2nd pic M62tu m62tu has the buldge in the front cam covers . also all the hoses are a crimp fit system rather than a hose clamp system. different shape engine cover . different types of air intake pipes

interesting about the bearings in the manuals , my manual gearbox in the e28 m535i (same as used in a e34 535i ) had done over 500,000km before the bearings started to go . have had plenty of other e34 535i's with manual boxes , lots of other 300k etc all seam fine .

hi thanks . thought some of the specs looked wrong yes its mine , my wife drives it mostly

yes they do . but sadly this one is just kitted up to look like one with genuine alpina bits . but normally they have a worked engine , suspension bits etc 255hp instead of 211hp E34 b10

have you check the crank sensors on the side of the gearbox bell housing in the pre face lift 325i . the plugs get broken etc . also can be dry joints in the ecu . check for spark when it dies

thanks that would be , i thought i had the magazine will have another look , yes found the magazine now ,. thought it was in a total bmw magazine. cheers for that . but the seats we have are black leather with red inserts (not suede or alcantara ) standard sport type seats not the vader style ., and same with the door cards . any one have pics like these. thanks for the help . http://www.eurocca.net/forums/showthread.php?t=29414
