  1. Not sure on Kms i think its about 180. less than 10k on the engine rebuild. looking for offers around 9k. it owes me 11k I have driven it all over the north island recently and it hasn't skipped a beat
  2. My Pride and Joy is up for sale. allot of money has been spent on it recently as i never intended to sell it is a 1993 e30 touring it has had a recent drive line swap for all the best bits it has a m20B25 engine which runs perfectly attached to a 5 speed gearbox which is in perfect condition, also short shifted. it is connected to a freshly rebuilt LSD with new bearings and seals. disc breaks all round with good wheel bearings. no curbing on any of the wheels and decent tyres. H&R springs all round with good shocks. I fitted a ultra racing rear sway bar and whiteline front swaybar with new bushings this improved the handling enormously I also fitted new powerflex control arm bushes and diff bush which improved handling also. interior is complete and has dark blue leather front recaro sports seats in very good condition. has new speakers all round and a fusion head unit. tinted windows (legal) new badges and euro plates very good solid car, drives like it should with plenty of power mechanically very good paint work is average photo from when i got it, i am overseas at the moment can have the new bonnet painted for the right price. the last owners damaged the other bonnet swapping the engine so i got a nice new one put on
  3. Hi Guys the touring is for sale if anyone is interested. i have my eye on another bmw to buy. it will have a freshly painted Green bonnet. it now has a new lsd with all new seals and bearings and recaro sports seats in blue leather
  4. Last few days i have put a LSD in the wagon. LSD internals found on trademe for about $600 and i rebuilt it my self transferring the gear from the old open diff onto the new unit and of course new bearings and seals. also new powerflex diff bush pleased to report that it is a very tight diff and locks up really nice. really nice to slide now with all the new sway bars etc. steering is keeping me busy with that slow rack.
  5. one out of a newer 3 series. N57D30
  6. hey guys day dreaming about future plans, has anyone put a 3.0l diesel in a e30? appart from the obvious problem of getting a cheap enough engine what would be required for the swap? obviously would want a manual gearbox aswell.
  7. are these clubsport ones also easy to bolt in. whats different? also what is the best shocks to get with h&r springs?
  8. looks easy enough. how much could i expect to get a z3 rack for in NZ? anything i should look out for?
  9. so where is the best place to find information about a z3 steering rack?
  10. been working on the handling recently. installed: 24mm whiteline front sway bar 19mm ultra racing rear sway bar solid one piece ultra racing strut brace nolethane rear control arm bushings. (old ones had so much play) it has transformed the car corners so much flatter now. have discovered a problem whilst doing the wheel alignment, it appears that the front left strut has been bent which gives me -4 degrees camber on that wheel and only -2 degrees on the other side. it rides well on these springs and shocks so im not going with adjustable coilovers or anything. planing on replacing that strut and then figuring out how to correct the camber? maybe camber plates in the front and open to suggestions for the rear? is there offset bushings or something that will work
  11. problem solved. it has the remains of an alarm. no siren at all and half wired into the loom which will be why it was only on three door and two indicators. obviously the immobiliser was working haha. Thanks
  12. so this morning i was about drive the e30 touring. opened the door and the right indicator started flashing??????? about 10 seconds later it stopped turned the key to on everything lights up as normal radio starts etc. indicator starts flashing again?? car wont start now. doesnt even try to turn over. so i got the multi meter out and the battery is good. 13volts across the terminals. all fuses appear to be ok. upon further tinkering i found that all the doors trigger the flashing and also if you turn the interior lights on it starts to flash. it seems like anytime i do something related to power it triggers the flashing. does anyone know what is happening here? seems like a short somewhere
  13. how do i know what gearbox it has? engine is a m20b25
