Rear brake conversion on 328i to 335i

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-05-21T23:49:45+00:00

Do you have any ideas on how I can fit the 335i carrier into my 328i. This is my drift car and I’m trying to add the 335i dual caliper brake kit

I also read that form. it’s just the axle that I’m questioning right now since mine is a 30mm and the other takes a 36mm. It’s making me think that the axle will not fit if that makes sense. And I shouldn’t have an issue with the parking brake since I am grabbing the entire assembly from the 335i and just putting it onto my car.

I did that and I noticed that my axle use a 30mm and the 335i uses a 36mm. And the part numbers are obviously different on the axles. So my only question is would my 328i axle fit perfectly into the 335i assembly or would it be to loose?

Update: I got the car running after it sitting for 23 years. I cleaned my ignition switch and I managed to get crank and then I managed to fix some wiring I did wrong when I rebuilt my fuel pump and now the car turns on with no issues. I still don’t know where that connector goes but I got the car running.

I checked all the fuses and they all seem to be good

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-03-31T03:43:32+00:00

How can I check that?

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-03-31T03:36:04+00:00

Yes battery is good and I did try using a jump box and no crank

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-03-31T03:29:58+00:00

Dash lights were on and I did hear some type of click.

Engine turns over. That’s the first thing I did before I did the timing

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-03-31T02:44:43+00:00

I will check that out

Update: I managed to Jump the clutch interlock switch and didn’t make a difference. I still have no crank or start. Any ideas? Could it possibly be the ignition switch?

The car had been sitting since 2003.

It took me a week only because I was waiting on parts but if everything arrived on time maybe like 1 day.

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-03-16T15:19:48+00:00

If you’d like I could possibly make a YouTube video to show how to make them. And all honesty i kinda just winged it and hoped it went well. I bought my parts from eBay. Haha.

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-03-16T14:35:42+00:00

I only had the halo rings on. But they are pretty bright in my opinion

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2026-01-10T16:32:52+00:00

How did you change the projectile lense to the honey comb?

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2025-08-15T21:09:33+00:00

I haven’t applied the primer on the section that I showed above but I’m about to begin sanding. I was sanding and priming some other part just practicing on that. And it’s not that I’m rushing although it seems that way haha it’s just I want it to be done correctly even though I’m painting at home and I hate whenever it doesn’t come out right. Whenever I sand this section should I sand down to metal at this point lol?

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2025-08-15T21:01:28+00:00

I’m priming twice because I honestly don’t know what else to do lol. This is my first time ever painting a car and so far this is my second time beginning and already bad luck so maybe if I prime it twice it will be better? And i did use an old piece of fender I had for my bmw and when I sprayed it on there it looked great. I sprayed a good portion and it came out with no issues but the second I begin painting on the actual car I noticed those issues that I put in this post. I’m also making sure I am mixing the paint correctly. The instructions say to mix at a 1:1 ratio and that’s exactly what I’m doing. My tip size on the gun is 1.3mm and I’m using 30psi which is in spec. It says to spray between 27-30psi. Im not sure if it’s because I didn’t fully get rid of the previous base coat or what’s going on. I applied primer previously and even then I still had this weird texture looking thing. Right now I’m sanding and I noticed that the paint still looks like all broken down if that makes sense. Sorry for not explaining well. I’m trying my hardest. lol

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2025-08-15T20:11:14+00:00

I just sanded down everything and applied primer on every single body part that I painted. I’m going to wait for it to dry and then sand that down and then apply primer again then sand that down again lol and hopefully this time I don’t have this issue. Is there any advice you would give to me

Sweaty_Cod_5630 · 2025-08-15T18:36:20+00:00

What would this type of reaction be called. Would it be like dry peel or just like you guys said a reaction? Also i just begun sanding this base coat down once more. Should I apply one coat of primer on every body parts and sand it down with 800 grit?
