I'll dig up all the spec's for you tonight. I bought the setup from a mate in OZ that was building a Jetboat that never got finished. Which 1uz are you running? I had a latter VVTI vers which offers better compression and Flow than the early ones. The supercharger was from Bullet austraila and yes twin screw... There is a lot of internal work required to get it anywhere close to reliable... If i was to do it again i would turbo! __________________

Sweet, I really keen on getting the front all fixed up and getting the BMW all signwritten. Tottally gutted that someone back into it tho, even more pissed about the fact i drove over the bumper, plently of gravel rash now :s .. these bumpers are really hard to find! I think it will look really good once signwritten, I don't want the car to look like a rep-mobile so i think a racing style finish to the signage is the way to go.

I also think there is a earthing issue in my boot somewhere. I could have something to do with the tow bar i fitted which i purchased off you.... No fault of yours most likely my wiring :s

No AC in mine either (well all the parts are there just the belt has been taken off) I just think it is sick!!! So where is your workshop Brent? I have been to your house a couple of times, wouldn't happen to be there would it?

Mate, S6 been there, HiLex done that!!!! What are you up to these days?

Yeah, but in the the high 20l per 100k???? I think it need a tune

Yeah it sat outside my mates place on Linwood Ave for awhile and that where it was backed into!!! Current now safe and sound sitting in my drive over on the shore.

That photo was taken before it was back into :s 1uz had plenty done to it, supercharger rather than a turbo tho. Absolutely mental to drive, but what a toy!

Hey all, I have owned a few bmw in the past but I'm about to get serious with the restoration and respectful modification of an E34 535is Manual. I have owed this car for a couple of years now with the intent of making it into something great, but always had other projects and toys to deal with! But redundancy about 10 months forced the sales of many of my beloved toys (Quad bikes, Boat, Fiat 124 sport ,Lexus powered V8 surf with 300kw atw ......), but I held onto the 535is I now as of the start of June I have started my own business which is slowly getting off the ground, so hopefully I’ll have the cash flow to start working on a few things on the car. Initially when I purchased the 535 it was taken down to Barvian Motors and had the essentials down (around $3500+ worth and more since) but it has never been quite right! The fuel Eco is shocking, previous owners have toyed with wiring and it now has a raft of electrical issues, speedo stopped working, many of the engine sensor were not plugged in, lights are stuffed and some lovely person has backed into it (at a rate of knots) and didn’t leave a note!! That will teach me for leaving it parked outside a English language school!!! Does anyone know where I can get a Mtech Bumper? Any I have spent the past 5 days cleaning it and looking at the wiring and engine compartment and all that has been achieved is one hell of a clean BMW that now won’t start! I’ll keep you all updated with the progress and may see some of you at New Brew next month. I’m also going to have the 535 sign written at some stage with my company branding and such (some what a race car theme, need to think of a racing number) if there is any companies on the Shore/Auckland that wants to help with this project i would be more than happy having your signage included. That way it will look less like a company vehicle more like a race car Cheers Chris

Mate it has issues.... Many issues!! Currently trying to sort out the Cluster and 'it's continually testing and lack of of a speedo reading... I bought it with out a OBC (had a analog non functioning clock which i removed) and it causing issues! I had left the car for 1 year with out use and it seems to have taken it toll head light connectors have gone, many of the engine sensors have not been plugged and there are alot of hacked cable :S When i first purchased it I took it to Ernest over at Bavarian Motor and spent over 4200 trying to get it right. In the end we gave up. Mate it has issues.... Many issues!! Currently trying to sort out the Cluster and 'it's continually testing and lack of of a speedo reading...
