Re: BMW e30e

Hey all, sorry for the delayed reply, things are moving very slowly. I'm still stripping the ICE components from the car. Had problems with the prop shaft but I got it off. Exhaust and fuel tank too. Can't work on it this Saturday morning so have to wait until next Saturday to pull the engine out. T...

Re: BMW e30e

Finally got started on some work today. Only had a few hours but got the doors and bonnet off, oil and water drained, sorry looking radiator removed, air box removed, battery and coil removed and linkaged disconnected. I can only work on it on Saturdays where it is, so progress will be slow. Next we...

Re: The Audi 8e - Powered by Leaf

I have the latter on my KitKat'd HP Touchpad for Home Assistant as it's too slow for the native app. I've been thinking about this recently since I looked into Home Assistant more. It would be a great project to get this integrated to the ZombieVerter. This is a project I'll be looking to start if ...

Re: BMW e30e

Yep, Watched it all back when it came out, never again! ;) Nah, really I'm sorting some things out with the Datsun that just arrived before I take the BMW off the road. The Datsun got some damage in transit so I'm working with the insurance company to get that repaired. It may be off the road for a ...

Re: BMW e30e

Conversion hasn't started yet, getting very close though! Hoping Damien will have his video out soon about the wiring of the Zombie to the GS450h. It's not really needed as I've mapped out the connections, but damn it will be helpful!

@kevpatts how are you getting on with your project ? Hey Patrick, all quiet on the western front at the moment. Waiting to drive the Datsun back from The Netherlands in 2 weeks time. binder-image10-uI2eRKkmMzw.jpg I'll be taking the Boss Hogg (BMW) off the road to start the conversion in a month or...

Still making progress on the L322, hoping to get a good update on the projects thread this weekend Sorry man for not getting back to you on this! There's no current plans to convert the Datsun. I'll keep it as is for a few...

Re: BMW e30e

Did you get your prop sorted and if so, who did you find? I've been asking a load of places and no ones taken on the job yet! I was actually just about to ping you to see how your projects were going! I'll forward you on the contact that Damien sent me. My conversion can't start until I get another...

I had an interview for a job in a renewable energy company yesterday and turned the camera round to show this project. A little weird but got the job. Happy days.

New battery tech that doubles range



One company created split battery tech that doubles EV range.

Just posting it, not saying it's legit, but definitely worth a look.

Just a quick post to let you know that soon Google will be able to search the posts on this forum. Googles logical operations will hopefully make it much easier to find specific information. It's been whitelisted now but may take a few days/weeks for Google to index the site fully. Thanks to Johanne...

Re: BMW e30e

Moving very slowly recently. Finally got round to butchering the old loom IMG_1908.jpg that was made for the GS450h dedicated VCU and tidied up the connections and labelled the ZombieVerter cables. Pain in the ass work but only took a few hours. IMG_1895.jpg IMG_1910.jpg Also got the pre-charge circ...
