I've still heard nothing about the gauges destined for Australia. Apparently they were packaged up ready to go

If as advertised I'd say great value ! Of course an ECU would add around 300GBP.

Cruising around the web looking at S38B36 info and found this;

No afilliation, but thought this would be ideal for someone looking for a good conversion. If I didn't already have one, I'd be seriously looking at that one.

Hi Todd. Do you have part # 13711306765 intake silencer complete from this car ?

Went to see my BMW mechanic yesterday. He is clearing the decks for the S38B36 install in a couple of weeks Then we really see LOCUTUS boogie.

Couple of days ago I got back from work and went to go for a cruise in LOCUTUS. Turned the key and nada. Hmmmmm, OK. Checked battery with my Sealy tester and it is dead, dead, dead (8v). Very strange, never had a problem in the past. Hook up my supposedly intelligent Matson 7 stage charger and it sa...

Nice work !! What were you going to do with the intake, run a cone filter or something more extravagant ? Still figuring this out myself.

That's fantastic Josh. Reminds me I have to get back on to my BMW mechanic to get this S38B36 into LOCUTUS started. I now have all the parts required.

Interested to see how Gertie gets up and boogies !!

Well Dmitriy, I really hope you are OK as we have not heard from you for some time. I presume you still have all the Antipodean bound gauges in your possession ? Please respond.

Nice. I used to be a developer for the WWII combat flight simulation Targetware/Target Rabaul, and can appreciate the effort required to get a model like that in game.

That video illustrates it, but I never get tired of the E24 shape. That's why I have another one after 25 years between ownership :)

Bugger the instructions...........I just want to get the gauges first

Dmitriy, any news on getting these gauges out to us in Oz ?

So Group C spec car was indeed twin cam head bolted to M30 ?

Good work Chris. I really hope she went to a good home, and that the new owner will stay in touch here.

Nice looking Sixer Phoenix. Ahhhh, Idaho............I'm a hunter and fisherman tragic, and i dream of Idaho.

I don't mean to sound pedantic, but have you checked the fuses ? You say the problem is intermittent ? If so this would rule out fuses. Are the fuel gauge and temperature gauge working ?

The secret with these faults is to be absolutely methodical. Certainly alarms would be high on the list of suspects. Have you had problems starting ?

Just giving this a bump as the engine swap is coming :)

For nasty battery drains, it is a matter of disconnecting the negative battery terminal, putting your multimeter (set to mA) probes between the negative battery terminal and lead, and pulling fuses and relays till you isolate the problem circuit. Then you will need to find the actual problem. If by ...

Guys, is something happening with this ?

Done. Thank you Kronus.

How we going with this ?

Voltage regulator ? Is that 13.6v steady ?

Ahh I was hoping for better result for you Chris. Maybe keep hold of it for a few more years as I'm sure value will eventually increase.

Jest popping in to check my PMs................nope, nothing yet. Will check back again tomorrow :)
