A rather cool oppertunaty came up to purchase a brand new e30 m3 260kph speedo. I almost passed this up but a couple of things made sense. My speedo's odometer had just crapped out and stopped reading K's and new units dont come a long for this price very often. Big thanks to Dylan for this as dylan was replacing a needle in his car and didnt need the whole unit. (long story) Anyways, photos. Unboxing Inside the box Pulling apart the cluster and removing the old Odometer Installed the new e30 m3 260kph odometer Seriously .. I hate reinstalling this dam bitch nut! and all installed ready to click over to 000000 Everything works perfectly, including my rev gauge was giving issues as it was down 500rpm, this was because of the needle was out on the spindle.

sounds perfect track spec.

The e36 m3 external expansion tank is the best option as others say. Its a lot better than aftermarket designs even if its made from nylon. another big must do is keeping the expansion chamber on-level or better still above the radiator.

The clutch setup depends on what spring rating they wound it up too. Normally Autoclutch mark it on the pressure plate. Anything above 2000ft pound is fine. Gearbox should be find to handle it if your not abusing it. What year is your car ? there are a few differences in the years of m3 and e36s wiring wise. EWS isnt too difficult to sort out. Its really easy however if you get the Key, EWS and DME from the same car. Then you dont have to make it up and do witch craft to get it going

This is _the_ OG tech wan m325i to have.

American horse power is different to every body elses. Then there is internet horse power .. that sh*t has the 1.75X multiplier added to it.

I love the 'know it all' comments youre getting from joe public Nice work and well deserved

Ok

You need to get a scanner on it and look at the live data from the MAF, O2 sensors (pre and post cat) and additive and multiplicative adaption values to see what the car is doing first. This needs to be done under different load conditions. It will then give the right place to look for you problem. The ECU has a very good knock detection so it will just simply shut the engine into engine limp mode if the car is running either too lean. The engine will then not rev over 1500 RPM.

Was rolling around in this yesterday haha .. It is a very nice car and the second lowest K model in NZ next to Toms car. Some friends of ours father owns it.

second hand = rocking horse sh*t just get new, theyre not that expensive. E30 m3 left cover 51711380392 and E30 m3 middle cover 51711380391 enjoy

Remeber fellas there is such a thing as going too light on an s50 engine. Screws with the harmonic balance in the higher rpm ranges because of the longer crank design than most engines.

Its a better attitude than most people and the head in the sand approach.

I wish we had more people like you owning BMWs you're a credit to car enthusiasm. Enjoy your new car haha

nice tech1 ... get some bloody photos up of it will ya! PS nice e46 btw .. really nice clean approach to modding it.

PM Ollie with questions .. or email on ollie@ bimmersportdotcodotnz

540 m62TU water pump preventative replacement with metal impeller. Also preventative clutch fan replacement. Take that cooling system ... I won the battle bitch... you loose

My e30 sits on a trickle charge/maintainer and it works perfectly. This on a 5 year old battery too! I use my charger also when im testing the ECU .. the car stays in the on position (motor not running) for hours. EG 14 hours at a time and it still maintains charge. The key is to keep your battery in top order all of the time and it will last you years.

Lots of e30 in this one ... enjoy

hahaha Graham you crack me up every time

I could have helped if you were on android. Im not a windows ce user. I think user mspec did a while a go

Thwre is only one brand worth dealing with .. RAM Mount Beat place is camzilla in aus. I use this in the e30 for my s2 http://www.camzilla.com.au/products_info/i...droid-car-mount

*off topic alert*

yeah no more load hesitation any more.. Still throwing sporadic fault @ 2900rpm but I have a feeling thats a vaccum/vanturie issue when the car gets to that RPM .. I forgot to reset the adaption and drove home with a strange problem of the DME almost spluttering every 4 seconds and light load or maybe 8% TP. Reset the adaptions yesterday and drove it around all day with no issues apart from O2 relocation needed. Also looked at the M-coupe's readings and they are far different to mine at idle. Mine only really start to do something if there is decent pressure in the exhuast pipe ... Like around 10% TP. PS I love data logging ... you get the real story

Nice car you have yourself there Welcome
