Bassboy3313 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Also need to title the car still.Anyone have experience with registering as a collector/classic?Thinking about "V 80 30" for the plate.I'm pretty sure if you title as a collector/classic/hobbyist that you don't get to pick what the plate says. I was looking into hobbyist plates for my e21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hobby/collector plates are just a number in wi based off your collector Id. Dmv page has all the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmv page has all the details.This is correct unfortunately, they just assign you a number. I believe you are also not allowed to drive a car with collector plates in January. Registration used to be a one time fee and then good forever but I don't think that's the case anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 What are the advantages to collector/antique?I don't mind not driving it in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Pay registration once and that's it Only pay to transfer it to a different car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yes it's $200 for first time and there is a specific dmv form to get a temp plate for collector cars in January do year round isnt an issue. As Kaiser said plates are good forever until a transfer is needed.http://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/vehicles/title-plates/collector-plates.aspxhttp://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/vehicles/title-plates/pp-faq.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 If you plan on putting on fender flares and things like that you will need to get hobbyist plates, antique/collector plates require that the vehicle is fairly original in appearance. Also I was wrong about the perminant registration, I had heard they were getting rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Since they got rid of the permanent registration a while ago, I'd just get regular plates. They are way cheaper and look better, especially on a red car. Your car is emissions exempt anyways due to age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yeah, and I do want personal plates in case I ever sell it I will have a memento. Still leaning towards V 80 30, but probably more appropriate headake sl0 or bstrd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 BSTRD will never make it through the dmv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMart Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hoping for some help from the community. All my mechanical is done. Driveshaft, booster, brakes, clutch, etc. I am stuck on the wiring. Here is my current setup. 1997 M62 OBDII engine harnessTuned 88 pin 1997 540i ECU with EWS delete1998 non-vanos motor I am getting voltage to the dme since it is hard wired, but not sure if the DME power is hooked up. Anyone who has done another motor swap with any input? Here is labeled C101, 2 relayed on the engine harness, white plug off the harness and DME (not plugged in). I've got power and ground to everything (sloppy for now) This is where I am confused. I know the black wire leads to my starter, but what about the rest? I can get the starter to engage by hooking up 12v to it, I can get the fuel pump going. When I crank it with fuel pressure it doesn't fire up. What am I missing? For the record here is the C101 and DME pinout for this setup: Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to get this thing running before winter hits.

straight6pwr Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 garagistic has a little chart on m62 wiring: http://garagistic.com/index.php?page=e30-m60-wiring i can't find any wiring diagrams online to identify that white 12-pin connector.

CMart Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks guys. Not getting fuel/spark. I need to make sure my motor is ground, doing that today after work. Dan - I think you did just find it on that link - any idea what B/S mean? Wouldn't the socket and pin housing be the same? That would make sense too because the only thing I was using for that white 12-pin was the starter out. I wasn't putting any V in to power the DME etc. Edit - the table didn't show - it is the one at the bottom of the link you used.

B C Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 DME needs to see timing data from the crank sensor/trigger wheel to run the fuel pump and generate spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Crank and cam are hooked up. DME isn't bad? I had an issue where my swap would randomly shut off while driving but the DME was still getting power. It would start back up but would do it randomly. Put in a new main relay and different DME and now it's perfect. I also re-went over my grounds. Harness, engine, injector rail and my e fan Do you have a different DME you can try easily? Fuel pump primes when key is turned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 DME is brand new - tested after the tune. I have ground, but not sure about having it on the fuel rail. Are you sure the V8 rail needs ground as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
