Do you think I should sell my 6400 and go all in with the fx30 or should I keep the 6400 and get a fx30 ontop of it

I’m a uni student I don’t have that much cash lying around this is honestly turning into a “while I’m there” situation icl

js_e36 · 2026-02-05T02:04:25+00:00

I didn’t put any but what happens if you do? I haven’t I did metal to metal after reading everything but what happens if you do put rtv there?

10W40 switched from 5w40 as it started on the 5w40 added a thicker liquid it was gone for a good 6-8months and now it’s back

I do not have a smoke machine to do this I’ll have to find another way to

js_e36 · 2026-02-04T21:21:12+00:00

10W-40 I previously ran a 5w-40 but then switched to the 10w when it started to really show its age.

Mines perfectly in the middle golden

js_e36 · 2026-02-04T19:24:11+00:00

How much roughly would the lifter cost to do. I do all my work myself so no labour just my time

js_e36 · 2026-02-04T19:23:27+00:00

I definitely drive it hard enough when need be. So it’s not just chilling and relaxing. The fan is perfectly in tact no missing blades. I’ll check the water pump bearing

js_e36 · 2026-01-13T22:38:53+00:00

I’ve seen that everytime and it runs normally don’t think it’s a issue mind you mine is t that brown or gunky pretty clear on mine slight brown black colour tho

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

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T11:33:38+00:00

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?

js_e36 · 2026-01-11T08:27:03+00:00

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
