[QUOTE="pussy, post: 238298, member: 60"] Jagmalhi, since i dun know you that well, but i'll advise you a bit since you ask.. 1. how much can i roughly expect to pay for the conversion?Include all possible costs and assume my car is running fine. I'm currently driving a 318i manual 1991 m40. [B]- say provision, about RM22K for the parts and labour.[/B] 2. where can i get the parts needed and what will i need? [B]-you will need parts from a e34 or e36, longshaft, diff, exhaust, parts from m20,gearbox, flywheel,etc [/B] 3.what parts do i need to upgrade?suspension?brakes?exhaust?tires? [B]- when you convert, suspension and brakes need to be upgraded, if not bye-bye conversion, exhaust needs to changed to M50 type, tyres ? [/B] 4.where can i get the conversion done?someone really knowledgeable and not cut throat pls. [B]- there is a few places can do.. i shall not say here.. all charge's a heafty sum. if you want a good job, they are not cheap. [/B] 5.can i sell my old parts and how much can i expect? [B]- your old set up can be sold for RM2k if the condition of your gearbox and engine is good. [/B] 6.what are the common problems with doing this swap?how can i avoid it? [B]- common problems ? a lot...frustrations,headaches, sleepess nights and short of funds when things go wrong.. [/B] and most of all, there is a shortage of axle(diff) and gearboxes these days.. hopefully this answers your questions, just a word of caution, obtain JPJ first fro approval..they change policy everytime... i have received many PM's from forumers asking about this conversion.. after that nothing...maybe by you posting this, many others may find answers here by my post.. regards. felix@pussy [/QUOTE]
