ZHPMafia Family Reunion 2013 - Williamsburg, VA - Maintenance Thread

[BimmerWill]

I wish I could but money is way too tight for me right now.

Ill get the measurements here in a minute. Try and find a bolt that's been heat treated the only thing we could find we had to weld a nut onto in order to use it and the threads took a beating from the air wrench.

The problem is it has to be fairly long in order to pull the whole rtab out. Ill take a pic in a minute as well.

It looks ghetto but works like a charm lol

Tony, Are you planning to try the rear diff bushing? Are you changing out fluids or doing anything else at the same time? If so I may go ahead and order one and plan to do it on mine too... It's not bad, but I want to get it done before I sell the car. I don't like leaving things unfinished.

Well actually just received a subframe from chad with good bushings. So probably don't need to do the bushings anymore but swapping out subframe and diff. Also planning on doing fluids at the same time. What exactly are you looking to do? You are selling your zhp ?

DW ill update the thread once I get on a computer again.

Yeah, I've had if for sale for a few months. Looking to buy a house. I've changed all the fluids previously. My rear diff bushing has a small tear and makes a clunk if you aren't shifting smoothly. Perfectly drivable and isn't causing any damage yet, but I would like to replace it. Only a 30$ part but the labor cost to get it done with all the special bmw tools and dropping the diff itself is pricey.

Bump for updating the maintenance list everyone. Be sure to look the list over for those interested in doing some maintenance on Sunday at Dane's....



1. cakM3 (Charlie) - coding a used LCM with s/w 4.5 (in this case) and enable one-touch triple blink - Dane's ZHP
..........................- Modding sport button switch for those who have the button panel for the Sprint Booster
..........................- Swapping out my grey kick panels for black ones (may need some assistance with passenger side)
2. GMATT - shark injector and rear window switch mod (Kyle, help please!) And possible steering wheel swap (colby). If any body has the proper battery charger please bring!
3. Alex - Complete stage I and II suspension overhaul. Front wheel bearings. Need RTAB tool, Wheel bearing tools, spring compressor.
4. JupiterBMW (Jon) - fender roll.
5. Sockethead (Rob) - fender roll
6. Torxuvin (Cam) - Brake Rotors/pads (Not 100% but wanted to get my name on the list)
7. JayJay_Dee - fender roll
8. 328ioc (Devlin)- I would like to code a few things on my car if some one has the right technology with them. And maybe replace ccv if we all think we can get that done.
9. tnhl1989 (Tony) - Fender roll.
..........................Soldering cables I just purchased.
..........................Differential swap and rear sub frame swap. No bushing replacement needed due to receiving Chad's subframe. Differential fluid change.
..........................Check RTAB.
..........................Sport button modification by Charlie.
..........................Swapping out clears for amber set.
..........................Transmission fluid change.
..........................CDV delete.

To everyone that needs tools and special equipment make sure that someone is bringing it. Example would be the differential bushing tool. I don't know if anyone actually has it or is bringing it. Check up and update.

I'd like to hop in here if I may.

I have FCABs and end links in the mail as we speak. Would be super sweet if I could get help installing them as I have a) not yet done this before, and b) will at least need a puller for the FCAB.

10. enemy - FCABS and end links. Needs puller. Also would like front corners coded to remain off always, until turn signal switch is engaged. All windows up/down code too?

I think I read somewhere that I could have the car coded to keep front corner lamps OFF even after turning on the headlights. If so, I would love this mod. They would only blink when the turn signal switch is activated, right? Also interested in having the all windows up/down mod.

Yes. I'll have my computer and cables with me, and so will a few others, so you'll be covered.

Just looking into this thread again, I see a few of the smaller things I'll be able to help out with. Charlie, doing interior swaps, I can assist you there. Window switch mods, I can help with the mechanical part of that, just need one of the other guys to do the coding...

I have a spring compressor setup, lemme dig it out and make sure its good to go. If anyone wants, I can bring it with...?
