Next time use the customs calculator, as they also have their own exchange rate.

Go all out mate. If your gonna do it, go 100%.

Loving the project. Make sure to put up pics of your progress on the steering linkage mods. I've modded e30 steering linkages to fit the e46 using the Ireland engineering donut.

+1 for painted.

Where did you buy the gtr bonnet from, and what did it cost?

There is a guy on a forum in the US that sells kits. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2155389-E39-540I-Jaguar-supercharger-install

No problem. The runners are bigger on the earlier manifolds too. I have a non vanos b44, but I got a manifold from the early m60 from the wreckers for pretty cheap.

There are four different inlet manifolds available. There were two different ones for the m60b40, and can be distinguished by how many fuel rail mounts they have. There were also two different ones for the m62b44; one for the early m62b44, and one for the m62b44tu. The early m60 one with the 4 fuel rail mounts is the one you want. The later m60 with the 5 fuel rail mounts is definitely different internally but has the same part number as the early one which is why it can get confusing.
-
The runners are longer and wider and have trumpets so it flows more air. The later manifolds were quite restrictive.

Great project. How many km's on all three engines? And how will you adapt the 330d gearbox to fit the back of the engine? BTW using the earliest m60 inlet manifold (there were four different ones for the m60/m62) is a good cheap mod.

Looking good Brad. Now you just need to get rid of the hot air intake. Just run a pipe between the maf and the filter so the filter is down behind the bumper - you will be surprised at the improvement.

What impact did you buy?

Yes, I order from them all the time. They are my supplier of choice.

Split it into two orders and you dont pay taxes.

So who owns this place? Can the mods buy the site off the owners, or can we get a new owner that actually cares about this place?
-
Also, try looking for aftermarket suppliers. Someone must make something good that is cheaper than bmw

https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/e29253-new?product=11-24-1-288-925 If you are ordering from overseas get them soon as the Government is anouncing today that they are taxing overseas purchases under $400nzd. You can split the order to make sure you are under the magic $400nzd mark

Looks like the mods dont give a damn about this place anymore.

Amazing work on the engine bay! How close does the engine sit in relation to the firewall?
-
Do you have an email trail? If you have proof in an email I would be contacting the boss at demontweeks. I have found demontweeks good in the past.

What brand cause there is 510nm and then there's 510nm?

My makita does these fine. Maybe you bought a cheap rattle gun?

Yes, M50 manifold loses torque low down and gains a few hp up top. It would be worth doing on a forced induction project though. Doing the vanos seals is worth doing as you lose low end torque as the old seals age.
