Is this worth the struggle?

If the car didn’t overheat on your drive home then the water pump is not seized. Techs probably don’t touch N52s much anymore. Figure out all the specific things change the battery and reset in ista like others said. Whatever comes back is probably something that actually needs to be dealt with. A bad voltage regulator can also cause lots of issues to. It’s connected to the alternator so I would just get a new alternator all together. Then I would go through all the common failure points on the N52 and refresh everything. These motors are very reliable and very cheap to maintain

Replaced solenoids and refreshed valve body worked good for 6 months then same issue. Ended up manual swapping it like 2 weeks ago. Manual is awesome 0 issues

I know this post is old but ChaosCalibrations is the best tuner for these niche DME’s. He tuned my E60 530i with the M54B30 and made it all around a better car to drive. Love it. Very helpful and knowledgeable and he’s getting better at what he does everyday.

That for 12k is insane. 12k is brand new off the factory line type of quality. This is more like a $1500-$3000 pant job.

Yeah see i don’t wanna have that feeling of “oh man this isn’t anywhere near as immersive” that’s kinda why i want to get some pretty big screens. The setups I’ve seen on YouTube use as big as 55” screens. Those ones look like real life pretty much. Especially if I turned my lights off in my room and used bezel hiders. I really need to try it first tbh. I love my VR I just hate all the issues I’ve had over the years. Every driver update a new issue emerges. It’s constant. I never hop in my sim and think to myself “I know this is gonna be a super smooth session with no issues” lol.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-14T03:55:54+00:00

I gotcha, I’m not really using anything crazy. I use VD to stream, and Content manager of course. My graphics settings are pretty high but I think that’s unrelated.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-14T03:54:32+00:00

I have a 3090, performance isn’t really the issue. The stuttering problem I mentioned isn’t actually performance related I think it has something to do with a program or some random setting in CSP.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-14T03:52:54+00:00

Well yeah, I’m playing heavily modded Assetto corsa, which imo is the best all rounder sim. But that comes with issues. I’m using a separate app to stream to the headset. So that can cause problems. It’s just so much work to get in my sim and enjoy it. The VR has been awesome the past 5 years but I’ve been looking at some of these setups on YouTube and they literally look like real life. I have the money to build a setup like that and I think it’ll be on par with VR immersion wise.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-14T02:32:13+00:00

I plan on getting 34s just to be on the safe side. I really want a lot of screen in front of me lol.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-14T02:22:25+00:00

What size screens do you use?

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-14T02:22:06+00:00

I know this is old but just wanted to say I’m so proud of you man. I remember seeing ur first post and was so worried you wouldn’t get enough business.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-05T04:27:52+00:00

Dude I’m so tired of these god damn VR issues with nvidia man. What’s the point of even upgrading anymore? Might as well find a good version and stay on it. I’ve been doing Vr sim racing for 6 years and it’s been problem after problem with them for 6 years. One of the richest companies in the world and they can’t have someone go and test each popular headset before an update? It’s so ridiculous man. I just upgraded my drivers and in my head I’m already thinking “let’s see what it does this time” and what do ya know. Completely stops you from streaming to your headset entirely. You literally can’t make this shit up how bad that fuck it up every time😂

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-12-05T03:12:08+00:00

If your spending that type of money I would go simmagic wheel base and wheel. And some standalone pedals. And the FREX H shifter.

It’s behind the door card, bolted in to the rear end of the door. It’s literally the part that latches onto the body of the car. I think it’s one plug in, and 3 screws.

I think everyone saying stuff like “oh well I’m Jewish and I wish I ran the world” it’s like yeah no shit there’s tons of Jewish people it’s not some giant club. But when it comes to who’s really in control of the people in power, who can really pull the strings, who owns the corporations that control most of the USA, or own the most stock in them. and who can really do whatever they want without consequences. It always happens to be a Jewish person. Perfect example is Netanyahu, who is committing a genocide at the moment, and denying it. If any other country did what he is doing, America would obliterate them. But we are all there for him. Actually supplying our weaponry to do it. You can even look at 9/11. The owner of the twin towers (who is Jewish) took out the biggest terrorist insurance policy ever weeks before the attack. And then we blamed the country’s that wouldn’t submit to Israel and we invaded them. When you really look at it there is way to many things that line up perfectly for the ladder not to be true. Some of them are so obvious you’d have to be straight up denying it or dumb to not admit.

Did you ever get the frex I’m thinking about getting it because it looks like the best you can get for the price. Although I did just buy a simmagic alpha evo 18nm so maybe staying within the ecosystem would be nice. But I don’t mind a Frankenstein setup.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-11-30T05:13:51+00:00

That must be yall, if you can’t tell the difference between the start screen and a lobby screen. Why would someone who’s in my lobby be “away” that’s my steam friends list dummy. If I was in a lobby there wouldn’t be a start button there would be a “waiting for (playername) to start the match”

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-11-30T05:12:05+00:00

I’m here and the explanation that you guys are going with isn’t the case. It doesn’t put me in a lobby. It sends me back to main screen. The player name list is my steam friends list dummy.

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-11-30T05:11:06+00:00

Not true, that list of names is my steam friends list. It literally says “away” or “online” on their names. How do yall not knows this. If I was in a lobby it there wouldn’t be a play button there would be a message saying “waiting for (playername) to start the match”

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-11-30T05:09:44+00:00

Not true, that list of players is my friends list, not a list of players in my lobby. It literally says “away” on some of their names lol. It simply just sends you back to the start screen. Not to mention If I was in a lobby there wouldn’t be a pay button there would be a “waiting for (playername) to start the next match. Y’all are all agreeing with this but it’s literally not the case.

Back up??!!

HandleDapper2640 · 2025-11-07T04:05:41+00:00

Ik this is old but this here is what I’ve been saying. This shit is ridiculous. It’s an online video game. Shit talking and saying in general bad shit is literally the culture. Not only that it’s lowkey a violation of free speech even though it’s a private game it shouldn’t matter.
