    Good price one the badges? I see them in US for $40-50 USD each plus freight which seems a lot?
  3. Badical started following N55 Injector Removal Tool

    I've got the injector removal tool for the early N55 engines and also the injector seal removal/install tool also. If you're in Auckland you are free to borrow it.

  8. E30 325i Rag-Top
    Got my bonnet back from being painted and swapped it back onto the ‘vert, and put all the bits back on it including new insulation panels. M-Tech 1 front bumper is about 90% complete, just waiting on a couple more fixings to come from Germany. And I got some shiny new badges for the boot, rather than try to replace the double sided sticky on the old ones (both in stock in NZ as well 🤣)

    Quick rant thread.

    I bought my wife a Google Pixel as I have run them for years and really like the image /video quality, every f*king picture she takes looks like some 80's soft focus soap opera as the lenses are just caked in who knows what. Pretty sure if I'd bought her a potato it would have the same outcome (no offence potatoes, you are delicious ) . I know, first world problems......

    Aka the highest mileage S85 in existence 😅 Nice! Would’ve been cool to see Sreten sort this one.

    Friends daughter had her Mitsi Mirage fuel line (rubber hose) cut. Can’t remember the exact number, but about $700 for a 30cm piece of hose. Was pointed out that they’d bought 3 new cars from them and the local Mitsi wrecker had one for $75. They fitted it for free and apologised.

    Anyone have a spare set floating about in the garage that the wife is sick and tired of tripping over constantly? Thanks!

    Decent bit of weight savings, at least with the style 207’s. What’s your experience with temps on the track? Just fitted an LCI cluster to mine so i can back off when it gets to north of 130.

    They are a staggered set 8 inch front and 9 inch rear, I weighed them when the tyres where off for painting and they were roughly 8.8kg for the fronts and 9.5kg for the rears

    Very common situation. Unfortunately businesses or the customer don't usually want to wait so they overpay for the convivence.

    I thought I'd share a (non BMW) dealer experience I had this week where the genuine parts were half the price of aftermarket. Mrs Spinner's mitsi needed a new thermostat, and I started by looking at Supercheap and Repco and thermostats were about $80 including the gasket for Tridon brand. During the web search I found some genuine ones for cheaper out of Australia so I took a punt and rang the local dealer, sure enough $40 got me a genuine thermostat and gasket! The only downside was it took a week to arrive. So there you go, sometimes genuine parts can be cheaper

    Not sure to be honest, that will depend on the manufacturer - I'd reach out to either the manufacturer or the reseller to confirm 100% before ordering.

    I'm looking at ordering some aftermarket toe and camber arms for the rear and they come in either M series or non M. From looking up the VIN number my car seems to have M-Sports Suspension package, does this mean I will need M series arms or is M series and M sport a different thing?

    Which statement in particular? I can’t speak to the earlier cars possibly having clutch diffs, but it seems like luck of the draw if you can only tell when the rear cover is off, especially (imho only) you’re potentially getting an inferior diff. I’ve driven a couple of 250hp E30’s back to back on classic NZ country roads, one with a rebuilt clutch type diff and the other with an actual Quaife unit (before they started putting a tonne of pre-lash into them) and you could absolutely feel the difference in how the diffs achieved different results. It wasn’t clear from my initial post but I’m talking about the diff locking up not the wheels. Perhaps the subject of another topic, but changing the E30 ABS to a four channel unit and running a yaw sensor would be an awesome way to give yourself a steppable traction control system which would be ideal for NZ conditions given how wayward they can be.

    Awesome car! How much do those wheels weigh?
  31. Toast
    i've got one that's 3.64 ratio
  32. topnotchrally
    I have just been researching this as I want to change the oil in my diff and you need the right kind depending on the diff type. I have found that early Z3s had clutch diffs ands sometime in mid-late 99 they changed to torsen. This seems like reliable information to me, people saying the only way to tell what you have is to take the back off and look, but that the early ones definitely came with clutch diffs. What do you say to this? What is your statement based on? Also, IMHO the ABS can take care of locked wheels...I'd rather have a torsen, it doesn't wear out.

    Amazing those wheels look perfect to!

    Day 1 of operation "Save the Silver Lemon." Doesnt actually look toooo bad, has things growing on the top, all the fluids leaking out the bottom, but she has good bones! Wheel bolts were all seized, had to breaker bar them. Radiator is new, and someones put new bump stops on top of flogged out shocks. Started pulling the stupid sub box out, which turned into pulling all the interior out to chase the BS wiring. Will combine with pulling all the interior out, has a few hundred mouldy dick monalds chips under the seats and it smells like a hookers handbag.
