Back home now after some final prep at rays.

Now its home we will work on the tidy up tasks and interior bits and pieces. Also some final bracket fabrication.

The whole thing hasn't quite sunk in yet haha ..

The drive home was pretty interesting .. third gear pull to above 200 was pretty much a mouse fart for this engine. Its left brendon driving the 330 1/2 a K back in no time. no question .. F**k it moves.

I must say im really enjoying the e30 smell again in my garage .. with added extra of other burning sh*t. Something I dont miss, the smell of e30's haha.

It was the one from AKG Motorsport. and yeap all tucked away nicely

Ok, but it does not support Onboard Check Control for oil level? Will the light for oil level be lit all the time then?
thanks

[HybridNz]

It is supported, however I need to change out my oil level sensor to the e34 one. Will do this next oil change around 5000ks

Ok, well, I have re welded the oilpan to keep the B32 sump. So I use the stock E36M3 3.2 oil level sensor.

Do you got any vids of the car when you drive it? Outboard?

cheers

Thats all for now as I have a bit to do to get it street legal (shorten shocks, panel work to widen gaurds and lower, removible center muffler)

[Mr. Horsepower]

Sounds pretty sweet! I wound expect more wheel spin though.
I will post pictures of the oil pan on my build thread, don't know if you have seen it?

8 month old stale 98 octane isn't helping. Have a listen when I was down the road and you can hear it go for it.

[Mr. Horsepower]

HybridNz, I have now updated my project thread with pictures of the oil pan after modification.
