What throttle cable to use with s38 swap in e30?
As the title says.
What throttle cable is everyone using? The stock m20 one is too short.

So it looks like the e34 m5 throttle cable is nla.
Any other cables confirmed to work? E28 m5?

Its been almost 20 years when I did the swap. I forgot to mention that I had to thread the ends on throttle cable and cruise control.

^thanks for the pic man.
In order to help other people with this issue, an m50 powered e36 throttle cable fits perfectly. Only thing you need to do is strait out the solid elbow in the line. It is very easily bent.
