Hey guys, Anyone wanting to sell a pair of these for a reasonably price Cheers

You couldn't check this 1 out for me if you were in the neighbourhood? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=172543271

Thanks for all the replies guys, looks like its back to studying more what others have done M52_swap.doc

Hi all. So I'm seriously looking at a 2.8 motor with brake booster needed for the conversion into my e30 320. The engine doesn't come with ecu and loom so I was wondering what peoples opinions are on getting a after market set up or try buy a 328 ecu and loom then modify it to fit the e30. Plus any good references for the swap. Cheers.

Has anyone experienced a problem with there temp gauge flicking between 1/4 and 1/2 randomly and sometimes when you 1st turn the car on it will stay below cold before kicking into life. It seems that its internal as a friendly tap will take it from just above halfway back down to what im used to as normal operating temp of about a 1/4. I'm not sure if i should start poking around in the gauge cluster to see if theres anything obvious. Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Gus it looks like PnH are going to be the go, as everyone Ive spoken to have given them the thumbs up. I can get the shocks at auto trail for $992+gst and they are happy for me to supply the shocks so theres almost $200 saved. I brought the car lovells in it and was going to see what it was like on those first. Does anyone know anything about B8 motorsport valved Bilsteins? speedfactor is getting a quote for me on a set of these too.

Has anyone herd of these supersports on trademe I guess they are super crap lol, Still deciding if I want to fork out $1950 for the konis. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-129910508.htm Thanks for all the opinions n help

Are boge shocks any good? a guy was trying to sell them to me the other day about $170 each with a lifetime warranty

ok so my math sucks haha works out at 1617.78 for the parts, so you really think i'm getting ripped here?

Heres a quote from PnH in hamilton to put all 4 koni's in, a total of $1950 or about $1450 if i was to do the same myself getting the parts through them. Is this a good deal? Estimate1.PDF

Yeah they sure are, nah shes auto. 2g! didn't really think much of them on it ay crazy. No its the wide grill. I think i just like the power of the 540 but def prefer the looks of the e30. Just had a few probs lately with it and was throwing up the idea.

Yeah e30 (my bad) twice gutted lol hope once will be enough....so basically drain the fluid dis connect the lines pull it down and replace the seals? any problem areas? while i'm there is there any other common leak points? cheers chris

So I finally got round to investigating as to why I was loosing fluid and now it has really started leaking, not good. following the lines from the tank down to the steering gear, upon pushing the boot fluid then pissed out of a small hole in the boot. What am I in for here is it relatively easy to pull it all down (bench job) or is this one for a mechanic? also how much is it going to hurt the suspension fund lol. Thanks in advance for your help

Thought I'd see what you all think, keep the e30 thats done 159km and do the shocks or buy the 1993 540 189km for $5g

Thanks everyone for the info, so koni's with HR springs is the go? what else should I be replacing when upgrading the suspension.

So you have all herd this question a thousand times before but here it goes. My 1990 e30 really needs some new shocks so I took it in to PnH suspension in hamilton for some ideas and pricing and the guy suggested to do the front as a start using kyb's $550 fitted and aligned. Reading through the posts it sounds like kyb's are crap I think my dad can get me koni's for slighty cheaper than retail so maybe that would be the way to go. How hard is this to do yourself? Also the car has lovell lowering springs would these need to be changed? Cheers

...angel eyes, clear front and sides indicators

Couple of mods I’ve done recently...... finally taken some pics

Haha thanx for that bimmerboi. :finger: loving the signature

My olds want $13000 o.n.o Cheers

interior:

1994 318 Is NZ New Manual 110kms M3 Kit 17 inch ROH Mags Imaculate condition inside and out serviced every 10,000km One of the nicest examples around, quite hard to find a NZ new manual with low kms these days

Interiors pretty mint but Ive always wanted black leather , anyone scrapping?

The 2.0 runs sweet shes only done 128km but I'm after a bit more power any ideas on price for that sort of conversion? I've been looking around at sr20det conversions but cant get enough info on it. Does anyone know how hard it is to put a 3.5 v8 out of a manual 5 series? theres one on trademe for just over a grand. Basically Ive got 4 grand at the moment to spend on her just need a direction

Ive put a pair in mine which are the ones from trademe you were talking about, they're not to bad. The mounts worked fine and everything seems secure. The wiring isn't much at all, you get a relay which has a plug for connecting the old park light connector plug into for switching the angel eyes which are directly feed off the battery. The low and high beams connect up as normal. The kit comes with all the necessary wiring and some black looming.
