So a factory lsd dont like hooking hoops! Its gone boom and I'm in need of an honest diff conversion for a E30...... any clues that wont break the bank?

I'm looking for a mint Hood lining for my mrs E36 motorsport coupe, motorsport-black/grey would be nice lol with sunroof!!!!And I'd prefer one without sag because I already have one of those.....and the orange foam appears like dandruff!!

Cheers Tom 021 330 567

I have an avenue that maybe of interest.... digitally printed on reflective background with whatever emblems on either end... have a contact that is willing to produce whatever you like the more that contact me will bring the price down... have to contact the LTSA tomorrow to find out the legality...

quite often it pays to scuff up the working surfaces with coarse sand paper, clean really well then apply a liberal dose of grease whether it is coppercoat or preferably a litium disulfide grease and make sure that you really work the grease into rubbers. Unfortunately urethane doesnt have any lubricating qualities unlike rubber....if its squeaking its gonna fail quicker than a cheap second hand part, and you just spent the cash to fix it 'proper' with the 'right' parts.......

Play wiyh fire you gonna get burned.....play with dirty ho's and you gonna get the clap or worse.....How many of you have downloaded sh!t from ogrish or any of the splatter sites, read e-mails with carnage and distruction, that is the beauty of the internet, INFORMATION!!!!!! I'm damned curious how to find how the croc hunter got whacked or how Peter Perfect done loose it... in saying that how did Rodger Freeth, Bruce Maclaren, Robert Holden, die? How did Nicki Lauda loose his ears(and nose)? And why is the reigning king of formula 1 quiting ????? Its the same reason that there are people who can make a living at the TAB - PLAYING THE ODDS......do crazy sh!t and it's only a matter of time before the reaper rings the bell and it's GAME OVER....But like hell am I not going to learn from their deaths....I learnt from Senna....dont drive crap cars with welded up steering columns....

Don't blow the Beehive up, lets turn it into a prison, afterall it's full of crooked fraudsters, thieves, drugdealers, liars, and sex offenders anyway

1: The Tracker unit has power.....what is the power consumption of the unit.....ie how long does the car's standard battery last once the unit with a vehicle is in storage....some of the other units I have investigated is lees than a week.

2: The Tracker unit can "see" some satelites....steel covered trailers....luton bodied trucks....garages block the units ability to see the satelites.

3: The tracker unit has cell phone coverage......Cellular Coverage, because of NZ's geography can be challenged.

1.It's not the vehicle power source that is the issue but the snitch power source is good for approx 14 days

2.Seeing satellites is not an issue as the mob. phone can be tracked by vodafone although not as accurately

3.Coverage is constantly being up graded

I have a few friends in the alarm industry, and at least one of them wouldnt activately sell a GPS tracker as the "be all to end all" alarm system, as they are so easy to circumvent once the thieves know they are dealling with a tracking alarm system.

The early HSVs were candidates for some of the early systems, and one of the ways to get around the alarm was to steal the car directly from the covered carpark/garage the vehicle was parked and into a covered trailer. The car was then put into a rented garage ...generally close to where the car was originally stolen from, and left for a week or so to let the battery go flat, once the battery was flat then you are free to rip the tracker out (or it doesnt matter as the tracker couldnt report home because it had no power).

There is no end all be all for alarm systems this is though a pretty good step in the evolution-no? As for the HSV system it was an antiquated piece of scheisse before holden even installed it. Big manufacturers only release technology once they have already superceeded it....once again this example was a MASS produced part worth about $50- that only worked for the first year before crapping out, on brand new $60k-$80k vehicles that have a cult status for theft especially by the scummy element of society. I'm talking about protecting to the best of your abilities, and if your mates can't see the benefits of this product then fair enough. Two of that markets installers like the product and are fitting them in ever increasing numbers....Trust me at the moment it is probably the best product on the market when you total it's ability, the fact it doesn't need to be returned to a manufacturer to be upgraded,and is constantly being upgraded and the best 1 of all.....2 european car manufacturers want their hands on it!!!

over speed warning comes in at 140kmh.....cellphone goes off...you run off the road checking your messages....seems like a dumb idea to me.

answer

Be good if it had some kind of shocking device hooked up into the drivers seat, so when my teenagers go hooning in my car they get a shock, or if it's stolen you could give them a real belt!

YEP Bob Mead is one of the best in the Business, I agree with you about polishing Rods [never seen any HP gains] What Gus was asking was about lightening rods. [if you're gonna remove metal, take the stress risers off the beams] Personally I consider polishing a waste of $$$ [when you add all the costs involved ,a set off H-beams ends up cheaper]

Horsepwer is Torque x RPM [lightweight rods will allow an engine to rev more, it's the revs that gain the HP,if the engine will flow the increased amount of air]

To my understanding lightening/polishing rods is essentially the same animal, it involves the removal of material whether it be casting imperfections or token lightening.....afterall a lightened rod will surely be the time bomb if left in the hands of an over zealous 'race' engine builder.....I have spoken to Bob about this matter, even took a couple of rods to him and he reckons the cost will overshadow the performance gain. To be honest Gus both Bob and I think it would bee a better option to check out later model rods and see if you can find a matching late model animal which are lighter and made from better materials.....need to get workshop info and do some cross checking!!!

Heres the list of functions....please remember this list is out dated, they have included alot of alarm functions such as window/ sunroof close, lights off etc....They have expressed interest in helping the guys who want dataloggers specifically depending on sneder units used etc, for those who are serious I will pm and talk $$$$$

24/7 GPS Real Time Vehicle Tracking

Snitch uses GPS (Global Positioning System) to locate the position, and track the movements of your vehicle in real time. Snitch logs the location and speed of your vehicle every 200 meters and every stop point. This data is sent to www.snitch.co.nz and displayed on snitch.co.nz's web based mapping software.

Real Time Tracking (RTT) is available in two options; Permanent or Temporary

If you choose Permanent RTT, Snitch continuously transmits your vehicle's location to www.snitch.co.nz using the internal GPRS modem. At any time, you can log onto My Snitch and view your vehicle's location and speed in Real Time, on a detailed map.

Temporary RTT is ideal for the casual user as no data is transferred to www.snitch.co.nz until the user activates RTT via a TXT message.

Location TXT messages

Snitch is equipped with a Vodafone SIM card, so once installed you can use your mobile phone to locate your vehicle.

Snitch offers two options:

TXT the word "position" to your Snitch and you will receive a TXT message containing a Location Code (loccode) which can be entered at www.snitch.co.nz to display the position of your vehicle.

TXT the word "address" to your Snitch and you will receive a TXT message containing the complete street address of your vehicle's current location

For current charges click here

Vehicle moving notification

When Snitch is set to Alert mode, it will TXT you if your vehicle moves, e.g. if it is being stolen or towed away. See "User Selectable Modes" for more information on modes.

Accident notification

Snitch is equipped with a 3 Axis accelerometer and continuously monitors G force. If Snitch detects excessive G force this is considered an accident, and will TXT the Primary and/or Secondary mobile phone an accident notification message including loccode or address.

Vehicle speeding alert

If configured to, Snitch will TXT the Primary and/or Secondary mobile phone if your vehicle exceeds a preset speed limit. The default speed is 110kph.

Alarm activation notification

If interfaced with you car alarm, Snitch will TXT your mobile phone when your alarm is activated for more than 5 seconds. Snitch must be correctly interfaced, and will work with most alarms available.

User selectable modes

Snitch has three user selectable modes; these can be activated by sending Snitch a TXT message containing the name of the mode.

Available modes are:

Normal -

For every day use, Snitch will notify you of any conditions you have preset in the configuration

Alert -

For use when your vehicle is left in a high risk situation or unattended for long periods of time where there is a high possibility of theft. Snitch will TXT your mobile phone if your vehicle moves more than 4kph, in addition to the conditions preset in the configuration.

Valet -

For use if you are having your vehicle serviced, or similar situations where the vehicle will be moved but should not be driven at road speeds. Snitch will TXT your mobile phone if your vehicle moves more than 25kph, in addition to the conditions preset in the configuration.

Once the 'Alert' or 'Valet' notification TXT message has been sent, Snitch will automatically revert to Normal mode.

Primary and Secondary mobile phone notification

Notification and Alert TXT messages can also be sent to a second mobile phone. The secondary mobile phone can have limited access to selected functions. These settings can be modified at any time on www.snitch.co.nz.

Vehicle battery low or disconnected notification

Snitch can TXT you if your vehicle battery is running low or is disconnected

Multiple vehicle display

To aid in fleet vehicle tracking, multiple vehicles can be added to a Snitch account, allowing all of these vehicles to be displayed at once on the mapping software available on www.snitch.co.nz

Vehicle history and history reports

A mapped vehicle history is available online and reports of this history can be saved and printed. Reports include vehicle stopped addresses and duration making Snitch the perfect solution for sales rep and fleet management.

"Over the air" software upgrades

As GPS and mobile phone technology develops, so too does Snitch with "over the air" software updates. You can keep up to date with this technology without having to remove Snitch from your vehicle or link it to a computer.

Optional battery backup

Snitch can operate for up to three days on four high capacity AA batteries, for example Energizer or NiMH rechargeable batteries, if these are running low Snitch will advise you via TXT message.

No or low monthly fees

snitch.co.nz does not charge a compulsory monthly fee, you pay only for what you use.

I'm interested.

Be good if it had some kind of shocking device hooked up into the drivers seat, so when my teenagers go hooning in my car they get a shock, or if it's stolen you could give them a real belt!

Quite easily done believe or not.....piggy back the coil output on your ecu, big flat coil(accel or msd blaster two)electrode on the seatbelt......whack, whack, in time with the ignition

Control inputs/outpus... should be abe to hook it into my dynatron then. Is the cellular GSM? ie do you buy your own sim and slot it in, or is it CDMA and have to get telecom to hook you up?

Cellular is GSM..... real time data logging can be used for laptimes at your local fun park(ie Pukekohe), as well as cornering g forces, speeds and with connection to ecu revs temp oil pressure and fuel pressure.....just like a real race car, but cheaper....good to diagnose those pesky problems from the comfit of the pits, after the race at home(data stored on SD card) or if you're a pro racing pilot, your pitcrew while you're driving

snitch?

That's the puppy, and there's alot of untapped potential that isn't advertised........control inputs and outputs that can be activated

A mate of mine has developed a brilliant device which is unlike alot of similar devices on the market, it is totally interactive, uses both internet and mobile phone for contrlling has other real cool functions such as the ability for real time web broadcast both position and if you hook up a webcam, the ability to disable the vehicle( when it reachs 20km/h or lower), and real time tracking

speed direction and locality...good for you out there with teenage learning drivers (or a wayward husband/wife lol). It has 2 forms of aerial 1 external 1 internal(can't be cut off) and also uses mobile phone system......not only that but it is self sufficient

and can be moved from vehicle to vehicle without difficulty, good for those with more than 1 car that isn't driven often, or for datalogging your race car(has an SD memory slot..)

He has expressed interest in a major discount to club members as long as we get together a group purchase (well under $1000-ea) and will then supply to other members at the same price(as 1 off sales). I will post specs later, if there is enough interest.

Stoned......

No more boozy lunches for that laywer.

Its amazing what happens when the lampposts get pissed and stoned...they play chicken with cars, not alone in this case, seems the post dragged his mate the footpath with him......the lawyer audi owners defence in court!!!

buy that for dollar....

Try Troy @ redline signs in Auckland 098273235, he's the guy that looks after the GT2 porsches and the majority of NZ touring cars, he is also at all the major circuit meets with his cutting gear in a van....damn nice guy, tell him that Tom sent you and he'll cut you a mean deal- especially for your race car

Hey I got some kings that are in my 6 cyl E30.I have no idea if they will fit in ur car but if they do u can have them for $100 as i need to upgrade my whole suspention setup.

Keen as PM me

and to think that the NZ police are equiped with these puppies- semi auto though, with 14 round clip.......

All those in favour of having their get off letters written by this man say 'aye'....looks as though the 'ayes' have it....congradulations sir you have the job!!!!

Aint no way those theiving scum are nicking my machine.....at least not if I had one of these

Glock_with_drum_mag.wmv

1: Polish the Beam LENGTHWAYS until smooth [never polish across]2: Get them Shotpeened

3: fit New Bolts

4: Get them Balanced

5: Get the Big-End Resized [Tunnel Honed]

I forgot to Add the First step ....................GET THEM CRACK TESTED

And New Rod Bolts

Try Bob at Balancing Specialists in NewLynn, because balancing an engine is probably more beneficial than polishing..... in all honesty its an ancient artform that is almost lost and most people remove wayy too much material especially when you consider that engines that are given this type of treatment usually have light weight pistons, gudgeons and super skinny rings.....there is a balance between your piston + gudgeon weight versus con rod get it wrong and you're guaranteed a big boom boom and there will probably be more than 1 leg out if bed......if you know what I mean.....

Also I had been thinking for a long time about a vigilante justice run, spoke to a police prosecutor and while the cops wouldnt be too happy about it they probably wouldnt be able to charge you with anything for swatting a staked out theif with a baseball bat a few times.... anyone else keen?????

Keen as on some of that!!!!!!!!!!!Tell us when and where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Afterall I've had 2 disappear into the black void 3 returned completely fcuked and 1 I wish I never saw again.......never got anything back!!

bang_bang.bmp

But still you Turkeys bitch about what is going on!!!!what are you going to do about it.....as for 100% legit, well fcuk me, the majority of society doesn't know what that is so how the fcuk are a couple of sawnoff wankers with a grand total of 2mins driving education going to understand the concept of suspension travel, bumpsteer or braking ratios, when all that is shoved down your throat(or eyes) is PIMP MY RIDE, OVERHAULING and all the other gay bolt on shows.....Did you even know that increasing or decreasing your rotating mass weight on the end of an axle can drastically affect your handling and braking????Did you know that in the world of electroplating there is a really big no-no-chromium plating of aluminium, due to the electrolysis....damn don't put the modified car owner in the same sentence as boy racer.......and as I said before, pipe dreams aside, how many do it for real put their money where their mouth is, and drive it to the limit at the track.....wanker trailer queens bolt on some gay chromies and a fcken veilside, paint it some gay colour and don't forget the milo tin exhaust tip, hack them springs and fill the car with TVs and speakers then boy you got a driving experience!!!

boyracer: under 18 years old

modified car owner: over 18 years old

Yeah right more like anyone under about 28.

No shyte sherlock, welcome to the real world however. It is about time that everybody should realise that this 'boyracer' culture is nothing new! My old man used to drag race on Lincoln Rd in Henderson when he was younger did the ton there too in a flat head V8 powered Ford Bonusbuilt....I cut my teeth illegally racing at the oil terminals, and Kerrs Rd in Wiri...my little brother was no better on Roscommon Rd But here comes the cruncher.......

successive generations are being treated by the law and society with harsher rules and regulations, the older generation has long forgotten it's misdeeds and is punishing the younger generation, all I can suggest is that you enjoy the freedoms you have at the moment because it's only going to get worse. Take Austrailia for example, certain states have mobile warrant stations run by the law to test and evaluate vehicles. If they don't comply they are forfetted to the government for distruction for minor modification such as 1/2 an inch wider wheels, or being 2-3 db too loud with your exhaust.

Don't cry about it join a car club and thrash the living feck out of your car at a legal venue near you!!!!!!!!

who has been left with the bill though???

WD40 is your friend

either that or any good dewatering spray like the marine crc.....if you're still having problems, start the car at night while peering into the engine bay you may be able to isolate any shorts(remember do it in a dark place NOT directly under a street light) then y purchase a silicone based product from any good motorbike shop similar to tyre silicon (Use it on road bikes especially at the begining of winter to stop your exact problem)that you can coat the electricals in which should eliminate your problems (dont use tyre silicon that sh*t attracts the dust and can be quite aggressive on vaccum hoses!!!!!)

High pressure cleaning of an engine bay isn't the best idea if you can move it with the garden hose best get your rubber gloves on and use some elbow grease!!!!!or leave it diiirrty the way I like em!!
