Dave, I scored a cordless Ryobi Impact Drill Model BID1211 for wheel changing, $26 on TradeMe with 2 Batts, Charger & Case! It's not heavy duty, but does the job, I still manually torque each wheel after.. makes removing & reinstalling passenger seat a breeze on race days.. My boys now queue up to change the wheels ! John

They are available on ebay & Pelican UK.. or certainly Ray at HELLBM.. Ha.. must be that time of year.. my front window stopped working so checked fuse, then noticed that passenger window also not going... My console has a windows isolator switch, but there is nothing connected to it. This forum identified the unlabelled button as the window circuit breaker.. I now remember pushing it on the weekend.. nothing seemed to happen.. now I know.. so can reassemble the console..

The fork pivots on the driver's side of the gearbox. That is where my fork had disconnected from the pivot. Whilst at rest the left end of the fork looked central aligned with the slave rod, you might find the whole fork slides across to the left and bends another slave rod. Without an inspection panel, the only way to check and correct the fork pivot mount is to remove the gearbox, drive shaft ... Good luck, and let us know how you get on ..

I was in the same position with a torn slave boot leaking fluid.I was desperate to get the car going, and very nearly just replaced the slave without identifying the cause of the problem. Experienced advice from Glenn stopped my eagerness. I found the piston rod was being pushed across to the left by a fork that had become detached at the pivot. If I had gone ahead, it would have just recurred and I'd be back to square one. Good advice.. do it once, do it right.

Thanks Kyu [PM'd]

I need 10 for upcoming Targa Rallysprint, where we'll have a number of co-drivers / guests sharing helmets.. Thanks, John

Don't know the model, internal stamps are:15x x7JJ, 187, RHC, P4 20

Glenn you are a star, didn't get a chance tonite, but will have a look at the clutch fork on the weekend..

Cheers Navin, Glenn from BotanyMotorWorx had one and some sound advice

Ha, thanks Dan good advice, how long should I polish it

Had clutch issue, yep was the Slave - found the outer seal was torn and leaking into bellhousing. Sourced new Master & Slave today, but the Slave doesn't have the pushrod included, I'm supposed to reuse the original.. only trouble is that the rubber tip is missing, may also be in bellhousing.. any suggestions where I can obtain either the pushrod or another rubber tip for mine ?

Hi, same need a cluster for 320 6cyl and with a working odo and computer. How much to ship to Auckland ? (could arrange for Speights delivery) John

Thanks Allan, will do.

Any one experience this .. hillstart .. release clutch pedal, it comes back but no clutch engagement ? After a few long pumps of the pedal, a pressure hiss from the Master Cylinder and the clutch releases. With short pedal travel when on the move, no problem, but long pedal stroke for standing start it's no good. I'm guessing either Master or Slave Cylinder need replacing. What would keep pressure on Slave preventing clutch engaging - when the pedal isn't pressed ? Could it be the clutch mechanism itself not return pressuring the Salve shaft ? Currently in process of replacing both cylinders and using a braided hose. Appreciate any ideas..

Looks like the weather held off. Wish I was able to have made it as my new Toyos need the shine taken off them.

Have you tried SWANN ? My E30 race car is fully insured for $293/yr premium.. they don't care about modifications, they recognise enthusiasts and know the difference from street racing hoons.

What size and type ae the Toyo's ?

Hi what size and model are the Toyo's ?

I need a used Toyo to replace a seriously flat spotted tyre.. for track days.. anything considered..

Hi John thanks.. Yes 1238kg was full tanks, so probably 1220 with 1/2 fuel load, being a 4 door doesn't help, also my cage looks more structural than others, has SA extra long range tank which I can also remove.. will keep me busy over winter.. Cheers

Following a successful motorsport debut in 2010 Dunlop Targa in a very quick Peugeot 106 Rob & I decided to look for an E30 for Targa and BMW Race Driver Series.. The Moro car came available and after some minor tweaks, I completed the NZ Festival of Motor Racing featuring BMW in Jan 2012 - 6 days of racing, no damage, what a blast - and a great bunch of guys in the class. Entered the final BRDS Round at Puke, again great racing, but at 1238kg I need to shed some weight to keep up. Had a lot of support and mechanical advice from mates as we've so far completed all the spanner work ourselves. Budget permitting I'll do the BRDS but would need a sponsor to do any Targa's - just too expensive. Looking forward to meeting more E30 racers at AGM & our Track Day. Cheers, John
