And another M30 swap begins

[E30 Beast]

1.(for first 2 pics) can i use some of the m30 sensors or do i need to swap them all out

2.(for third pic) can i use this still or do i need to swap out for e30 one

3.(last pic) where can i get the tranny sensor from since mine is all beat up

Was the e32 auto ? Would have a different flywheel.

yes it was from an auto, would that really make a difference though

[E30 Beast]

Yes, get the e32 or e34 m30 starter, they are smaller and easier to install/remove.

sounds good now i just need to wait for my lghtwght flywheel to come in nd ill check it out

I am using an auto starter on my car. Pretty sure the teeth of the auto and manual flywheels are the same.

had a quick question, can i use any starter from an m30 equipped car because i picked up a starter from an 735 nd it seems to be a lil short any opinions would be much appreciated

if it was from an e32, you're good. I believe the starters are interchangeable between any m30 equipped car. Don't quote me on that though.

thanks yert i really hope so bcause this is my second starter nd im starting to think im really gonna run into problems with this situation:( ill take a pic when i wake

so a 3.46 is the hot setup?
i have a 4.10 and a 3.73 lsd at the house, but there is a 3.46 at the pick n pull near me. If I had time sundayI would have pulled it.

[zaust]

I had a 3:64 lsd and could spin up in all gears without trying. Just fitted a 3:46 lsd and have a huge amout of extra traction, can still silp it for drifting very easy, but a 73 :o pointless imo...

I think of the 3.73 on a m30 like running a 4:10 on a m20. Maybe the 3.73/m30 is a bit shorter feeling?

Yep, makes for a nice hill climb car lol

[E30 Beast]

thanks everyone for all your helpful inputs, i wish i could find a 3.25 but those are hard to come by out here so i guess ill just stick to the 3.73
