Here is a complete account of my experience with my 332ti from the initial purchase to the current setup. This thread will include tons of data and should clear up some speculation in regards to how these cars perform, what parts work well what breaks etc. Give the links time to download (over 60 pics and some) and enjoy! | | | 06-24-2008, 12:57 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | | | | 06-24-2008, 01:11 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | Last edited by dahamler; 07-25-2011 at 02:16 AM. | | | 06-24-2008, 01:13 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | Last edited by dahamler; 07-25-2011 at 02:17 AM. | | | 06-24-2008, 01:21 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | Last edited by dahamler; 07-25-2011 at 02:18 AM. | | | 06-24-2008, 03:13 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 | Hey..

Lots of good time in that 332ti. We need to make more history in it this year. NE Rally fall run? Thanks so much for letting me enjoy your ti work progress and fun in it!! Hey ATF we need to go back up to NED again. Hopefully this time you get to enjoy the track and the 332ti a little more. Those HID is probably 4-6K range with a hint of blue in them. | | | 06-24-2008, 03:58 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | This thread will be a work in progress, I hope to add some more info about the swap and any other interesting facts I find as I push this car to its limits. Let me know if you guys have any questions,suggestions or find any errors.

Fall is a free drive just like the spring one. We never gave the 300zx tt a workout. At least the boys got some time to fix it up and prep it for the fall run. What's in mind for brakes? E36 M3 or e46 3 series brakes in that 332ti next? | | | 06-24-2008, 03:51 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | VERY nice thread!! good write up!!! thanks! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 06-24-2008, 04:02 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | hmmmm question... wanna gimmi your car? __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 06-24-2008, 04:13 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | Quote: Originally Posted by thesk8nmidget hmmmm question... wanna gimmi your car? | Nope, but I'll sure build you one! | | | 06-24-2008, 04:25 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | you are a weeeee bit to far to help me build my car but if by building you mean sending me your motor then im down! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
