Love the RBE36

brake kit is finally completed..

FYI, my old 300mm E46 328ci kit is for sale in classifieds section for cheap!

couple of pics of the new kit we've produced for the E36. Contact from numerous people regarding a 'bolt-in style kit' prompted us to put it together.

This allows any E36 owner to simply purchase an RB20, RB25, RB26 or RB30 and bolt it right in without any stuffing around or modification to their chassis. All parts are laser cut and CNC pressed so every set we produce is precisely the same. The final product will be zinc plated.

The pictured mounts are prototypes, the end product will be 4mm mild steel.

Wow mate that is a great idea! I would love to do something like this, and a kit like that would make it possible!

[marcuste]

well done mate. Good to see you're trying to build some income from this. I applaud people who go down this road and do the hard road for the masses. Well done again, and looks great too.

cheers guys.. probably beats dropping your car off at a custom garage and picking up a $10k bill at the end

is the plan eventually to have it as plug n play as possible? eg wiring reconfigurations, fuel management etc?

[kristafa]

To get the Nissan ECU powered is only 4 wires, then wire in your starter and alternator and it'll fire. Then we can make intercooler piping and exhaust or take it to an exhaust shop. A single tachometer wire from ecu to a 6 cyl instrument cluster so u see your revs. Put in a walbro intank pump which is DIY friendly. We also do CAD designed custom sumps and oil pickups.. so I guess you could call that a package!

Eurocca.net even got a mention in the write-up..!

you probably can't read it tho, i'll have to get some better resolution shots
