        Thanks man... my steering rack is making all kinds of noises now. The other day I extended the wires on the drivers side for the radiator temp switches, now the aux fan kicks in when I press the A/C button. Now if I can figure out how to make it kick in full speed instead of half speed :) I am not sure if the temp switches in the radiator are any good (came with the radiator)....

        Ditching s3.73 in favor of s3.25 as well. I was thinking about 3.46 vs 3.25, and figured 3.25 is probably a logical choice if I keep upgrading the m30...

          Amazing thread. I just read it all from start to finish. I'm totally going for the m30 swap.

              Rack is good, it was just running low on fluid. Still going to pull it and install e36 3.2 rack one of these days.

              3.73 is gone, 3.25 I didnt' like. Been using 3.46 and have been happy with it.

                How was the 3.25?

                  For me it was too big of a difference from the 3.73... it made the car feel slower in the first gears. I think 3.46 is just right, not too short and not too long. But that's just my opinion after trying out all 3.

                      I was getting some questions regarding a harness and it's connectors on another forum, so I just made this image to help id the ends.

                      Might come in handy to some doing the swap. This is the e32/e34 b35 harness, I removed the center plastic section so some of this would normally be in the plastic cover.

                          In the 1st pic of post #325 where you have "fuel pressure 1 pin." should actually be "Oil pressure 1 pin"

                          Awesome reference pictures though!

                              I'm running a 3.46 lsd in mine with a g265.. 1st gear is bloody short - but cool for launches from the traffic lights!
