There are sometimes stamping marks but you'd have to check rod part number and that the piston heads look correct

Will look into it!

That would connect to your engine harness

@@themaskeddriver super new here. What does plugging it in do? And where on tue engine harness? Thanks

There are a few plug near the ecu and it goes to one of them. You can't mix them up. I dont remember exactly what it does but it either pulls data off ecu to display on the obc or it pulls data from obc for the ecu

Just to clean it up. Sure it takes out a little weight but weight is not the goal for this build

Alot of people interested in e36 will see what we can do! I'll have to look into the vw polo rack!

do you have a link for that video?

Appreciate it!

Appreciate it!

If you have a e30 non airbag car. You need rack spacers and an lspr linkage or modify you stock linkage. If you have an e30 airbag car. You need rack spacers and firewall plate. You will need to trim firewall slightly. For e36 it's a direct swap. Everything available on rageitparts.com

Yellow or purple tag rack will be perfect!

My bloody fuel return pipe is blocked

Unfortunately it's a common issue

@@themaskeddriver Do you know any way of clearing this return pipe I have tried a few chemicals Nothing!

Yes there is a difference in trailing arms and axles. You want to match z3 with z3, z3m with z3m. If you have e30 trailing arms you need e30. Also I'd you change to z3 or z3m you need the axle output flanges to match the axles

normal z3 has smaller wheel bearing than the Z3M

I'm running style 42s 17x8 et20. 16s are prefect. I have to run 17s because of the slr kit in the front

@@themaskeddriver is it because of the shape of the slr kit?

Becuase of one of the front lower bolts

Correct. Two bolts on either side for the dash. Sometime a 5 bolt where the abs unit goes on the left side of the car

@@themaskeddriver awesome thank you again man, looking forward to more videos!

I'd start by making sure your power steering system is working properly and then go from there

@@themaskeddriverI know they’re older cars but are they supposed to feel heavier than newer ones today or do I have a problem?

No it should feel normal. You shouldn't need to be tugging if your power steering is working. You should be able to two finger or palm the wheel for a U turn

Appreciate your opinion. They are definitely not for everyone

If you mean splines the yes. E30/z3/e46/e36 all have the same spline and mounting points. Z4 has the same mounting points but different splines

So for the upper glovebox panel. It's two white connectors that are close to each other. Then there is a super long wires with a black square connectors that attaches to the glovebox itself which is for the removable flash light

US car and euro bumpers. Bumpers fit just like they should

Yes

Yes...realistically you should be running whatever engine harness to match your chassis harness. This was kinda a headache but will be more understood in future videos

@@themaskeddriver I’m just trying to figure it out as I have a early model car that I have built a stroker m20b25 for and so hoping to be able to atleast use the features I had in my car

If just use an early model 87 325i harness and make your life easy

@@themaskeddriver oh okay, so the early 87 engine harness has the same c101 and 104 connectors as any early car other then square plug early cars?

Correct. Obviously you want to quickly check and make sure pins are in the right place but 87 325i harness is the best of all the early model harnesses. I do have one available it just needs a power wire changed out. Which I also have on the side

Daily driving rack I recommend the e36 m3 96+ rack. Best bang for the buck upgrade. After than usual I recommend either a yellow or purple tag steering rack. They are a little heavier feeling compared to the e36 m3. The z3 rack I don't usual recommend for a daily driver as, I personally think, it's a little to aggressive. It's a great canyon rack. You just have to pay a little bit more attention when driving especially on the freeway at speed because if you jerk the wheel at all with a z3 rack. It's going in that direct immediately

Yes can use stock ecu but I am using a plug and play adapter with ecumasters emu black

Yes it runs though the chassis harness to the 3 pin connector on the late model harness (only two pins actually being used if I remember it's the black/red (ac) and a black purple. From the 3 pin connector it goes into engine harness and then into the ecu

@@themaskeddriveryea I’m doing ur swap flipped. Late model chassis early harness

Why? If it's an m20 there is no reason to use the early model harness!!!!!!

@@themaskeddriverbecause it’s what I had on deck . My original was damaged beyond repair and I had a spare . So i basically merged the 2

Sell the early (which is probably too late) and sell the late and just buy a late model harness. No point in going through all this headache!

Regular euro bumper trim, with the correct mtech 1 clips

Hi any airbag car will require firewall modification for any steering rack other than e30. Only way for no modifications is to swap on a non-airbag steering column (direct bolt on swap) which requires no cutting

The harder the material the more you will feel when driving. So if you want an oem feel you should go with rubber. If you want a little more feel go with poly and even more delrin. Just remember though you are modifying a 40+ year old part. Make sure you check to make the U joints

That's why you are supposed to run a full cage when doing this conversion

It's a later version of the early model tank

No, you'd remove all hydraulic power steering lines and use a ps delete block on any of the racks. This works with any rack you want as it's a column replacement not a rack replacement. You'd simply install a purple tag rack. Use a power steering delete block off on the rack and electric power steering column and you are good to go! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

@baysidefabrication made it

@@themaskeddriver thank you sir!

Brand new? Bmw doesn't sell for harness. I believe chassisharness on Instagram is making custom e30 harness for like a drift car. If your looking for a used oem harness. Shoot me a dm on Instagram I might have one

I assume your talking about the ireland engineering m20 race headers

I have multiple videos going over each of the most common e30 swap racks on my channel. Talking about how they feel

Starter (engine bay) and fuse box (interior) power for me. Oem you'd have the power for abs as well

Again 96+ m3 is linear It might be a faster ratio but in terms of feel. Z3 is a much faster turning rack. L2l does matter. But again this is all my opinion on these racks. Someone else driving them back to back on the same set up could feel something different
