E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted September 8, 2012 Coming along well. You may find those 7kg rear springs a bit soft (in relation to the front). 'Generally' E36 rear springs are 20% higher rate than the fronts when installed in the stock (inboard) location due to the high motion ratio. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just went a a bit softer for hillclimbs and club events were the surface is not always flat. Can always change if need be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted September 18, 2012 I got the car going today with a replacement ecu. Its got basic tune so far. The brakes are a bit touchy, very easy to lock up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 66 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Took the car to the SNZ trackday at Taupo on the weekend. It seem to go Ok, the springs are a bit soft for the track but that was ok as I had some road tyres on it anyway. Its got an oil leak from around the bell housing, I think it may be from the flywheel bolts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLM 57 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Did you get anywhere with the Nissan pistons? I see some red sock filters there as well, looks interesting... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 66 Report post Posted January 16, 2013 Yes I have used sr20 pistons. Not the engine in the picture, I just put on the itb's because I got sick of the supercharger whine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
