BRAAP

Fella’s, We are starting to see some of you are forgetting to read or remember the rules you agreed to when posting parts for sale! Remember, the classifieds section is a privilege and those that abuse that privilege are only going to make it harder and tougher on everyone including those who do abide respectfully as more rules are implemented to catch those attempting to skirt or abuse forum policy. Please be sure to read the forum rules, in particular the section pertaining to the classifieds. We do NOT allow bumping of ads within 5 days, that means ANY 2 consecutive posts from the person who placed ad within 5 days time. No persons ad/s are more important that anyone else’s and frequent bumping of ads to keep those ads on top of the forum page, subsequently dumping everyone else’s further down the list, will NOT be tolerated! Promptly replying to a question in your ad is fine and encouraged. If your ad is incomplete for any reason, lack of pics, new parts to list, etc, you must wait the 5 days to fill in those holes in your ad or use a reply to a question asked in your ad to fill in those holes, or better yet, get your ad 100% ready to post "before" you post it. . Again, any 2 consecutive posts in your ad and ALL your ads will be deleted, warning status will increase and posting privileges could be suspended. We are also seeing NUMEROUS multiple “Sold” and "Sale Pending" update posts one after another! If we see that being used over and over in the same ad it will be considered an attempt to bump more frequently and that privilege to update with "Sold items"or "Sale Pending" will be revoked for everyone, DONT ABUSE IT!

MNDATSUN, Received your E-mail and replied. Let me know if you you got it. As mentioned, verify the float is "floating", not sinking, and able to close the needle and seat sealing it 100% from fuel flow into the float bowl when full, also verify float level bowl fuel level is correct. The 4.5 PSI fuel pressure should not be an issue. Hope we are able to get you back on the race track soon.

RTz and myself witnessed a demonstration of the original EVIC engine, (in the link below), run at one of the P.R.I.M.E. Model engine shows a few years back. Interesting to watch the engine run as he showed different aspects such as skip-a-cycle, etc. Would love to see this applied in larger scale. Would also like to see more discussion regarding the title of this thread too. http://home.cogeco.ca/~davebowesevic/Mk1%20Engine.html

Congratulations Dad. He's beautiful.

Neither. Just a God fearing mortal involved in the Datsun sports car craze, currently married to my first and only wife of 21 years. Obviously a very patient woman!

***deleted original post.*** Fish on, hook line and sinker! I bit hard on that one. Phil, WHEN we meet, I'll hug your wife and pray for her well being, then it's the biggest noogy for you pal..

The older I get, the cornier my old plate seems. Back in the late '80's through mid '90s, local autocross club I raced with named my '75 280-Z "BRAAP" because of the great exhaust note. Nicely tuned mild N/A L28 exhaling through a pair of 2" pipes with cheesy $20 glass pack mufflers, has one the sweetest melodic exhaust notes. Any how, the name stuck, got the plate, retired the plate back in late '00, it mostly hangs around various locations within the shop, spent some time on the back of the race car for nostalgic reasons when I had it running. Now you know the story behind my goofy user name. BRAAAAP...BRAAAAAAAAP.....BRAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa............ The original BRAAP Z, pics from the early '90's;

That is precisely the reason why. He was going to try and use the OE EFI system which I also removed from the M3. The more I dug into my car and researched the cars electrics after removing the engine and EFI, the more I found that the BMW EWS-II system, (BMW's antitheft system post '96), is a nightmare to work with. There is an antenna in the ignition switch that reads the chip embedded in the key. The key is "matched" to the BMW ECU which is electronically/digitally "aligned" to the EWS-II module, separate of the EFI ECU. When an ECU dies, getting a new one installed requires the dealership to realign the ECU or it wont run! In short, Ron would need one of my keys, (more on that below), an antenna from a BMW ignition switch surround, the EWS-II module from my car, (which also has my control control integrated into it), and a few other hurdles to jump through. The pre '95 cars with the EWS-I are not as intricate, but still use the same key/antenna thing. Regarding the BMW keys, as I understand it, (I could be wrong on this as the info is hodge podge of book and internet crap I read and based on my experience acquiring a spare key, I believe it could be true). BMW produces a set number of extra keys for each and every E36 that rolled of the assy line, a couple go with the car, the rest are put into a vault of sorts. If you want/need a new key you have to go through BMW, you can't just have a key made at any locksmith. When I bought my M3 it had only one key. I went to BMW to get another one, had to present my drivers license and vehicle registration to prove ownership, (photocopied and sent to BMW NA office), then took my $70 and 3 weeks later I was able to pick up my spare key from the BMW parts counter.

:lmao:

Spammers aren't a new breed, they been around since long before you and I were born. More to the point, just little perspective on the what a $1 could buy you in vehicle maintenance back in 1928. Keep in mind, its all relative. It was still as hard of hit on the wallet for fender, a tune-up etc as it is today. Even $.01 to mail a post card was a lot back then.

:lmao:

I just happen to have a pair of the aluminum 1990 300-ZX N/A calipers. Having used another set of these exact calipers with the Specialty Z Brake kit on my '93 Z32, (much lighter higher quality 2 piece BAER rotors), I am have become quite partial to these calipers for their uber light weight, which is why I have this extra set in the first place. Though everything has its price I would be willing to let them go for $250 shipped within lower 48 states. I might be persuaded to part with matching aluminum 2 piston rear calipers for an extra $75. (rears sold separately, $100)

Sweet mullet John.

Nice.... Very nice..

RTz bit the bullet and bought a ’98 M3 coupe. Went with him on Friday to pick it up, and WOW! This is a VERY clean car. Ron is now the 3rd owner. First owner kept the car in heated carpeted garage. Second owner kept it garaged, (not sure if it was heated or not). Only 74,000 miles on the clock, completely original, back seats look as though they have not been sat in. I drove it to the shop, runs and drives exactly as mine did before I pulled the engine out, just cleaner and nicer. Promised him I wouldn’t post any pics till he showed his wife first. Sort of a surprise for her. She has been nudging him to get one for while, last week was out of town, back tonight. Here some pics I took Friday as he picked up the car. My M3 on the left, Rons M3 on the right and the RTz 260 (currently receiving the engine from my M3), in the middle.

$4900 for a '90 M3, in that nice a shape, runs, Euro 2.5 in it, even with 301,000 I would guess could fetch twice that amount. Maybe I'm off.
