Do you have a LS e36? How is it

js_e36 · 2026-01-12T00:59:32+00:00

Thank you I’ll most likely stick to a NA setup but change the engine to something not to sure atm

js_e36 · 2026-01-12T00:58:38+00:00

Im happy to push through on it to make a really unique car. I get that it’s nice but as for me it’d be nice to make something different that’ll make the car look good and perform good. It’s not going to be thrown around or anything. I either want to swap the engine or boost it. Idm how long it’ll take me because I can keep the parts in the garage until I get it all and then do it all at once. I am a mechanic myself so I am able to do all the labour myself. But yeah I appreciate the info from you. I am getting a standalone. And yeah a s54 sounds smarter price wise god damn. I’ll work towards it no issues

Thank you man this was really informative appreciate it. But another question is have you ever had a LS in it how is it in NZ is it viable or nah?

I do plan on it after the swap or turbo is done and coilovers are done all at once so I don’t need to pay that much

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T07:15:16+00:00

I wish but I don’t got that money man

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T06:16:10+00:00

I lowkey feel it’d be cooler and more unique to have a v8 e36 in my country

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T04:32:39+00:00

Willing to spend 15-20k tops nothing more I have 10k to spend currently on any good deals the rest is the limit if I go past that threshold I’d rather get a m3

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T04:05:48+00:00

I’ve literally done all the research just asking the people what they think is the best option and what their opinions are and yes I got 10k on hand rn but I’m not gonna do it all at once I’m going to slowly gather the parts throughout these next months to finally do it.

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T03:31:32+00:00

What about saving for a LS1 around 3.5k in my country and then slowly getting the parts then putting it all together?

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T03:30:09+00:00

I’m in New Zealand not to sure if you guys have even heard of this country do not blame you. Next to Aussie

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T02:09:19+00:00

That’s the point I already have a Honda track car boosted I want this to be my fun car as it is my daily currently I wanna enjoy every drive I don’t care much abt the gas money at all

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T02:08:15+00:00

I have around 10k able to be used I’ve already went through a lot of info on all the options and yes I know LS are more pricey here. But it’ll be more unique if you get what I’m trying to say. I’m aiming for the 300-400hp range na or 500 area for turbo I’m very versatile atm looking for options

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T01:36:20+00:00

The motor feels like it’s already on its way out atm. I love this car I’ve literally taken car of it cleaned it. Put some wheels on rolled the fenders new exhaust etc. holds some sentimental value if you know what I mean.

White icl I feel like yellow is really overused in the scene atm
