    Just window shopping again, the Orr Boon auction wet my appetite for 2002's...

    This one seems alot sounder than those though. Anyone know any history?

    Was one of mine. Brought as an auto parts car, but was to good to wreck. So converted it to manuel. Motor was built up with e21 head and the cam. Carbs left over from another 02 I still have. Had it as a daily for years. Went and stopped great.

    Good to see it again. Dosent look like it had much done to it since I moved it on in 2008.

    Values seem to moving up. Could be worth finishing off my last remaining one.

    Thats a great offer Paul. Will get under the car and check what I need soon.

    Whats it worth for the rack inners and outers?

    No Problem Dan.

    Here's the break down, cheaper to buy the whole package.

    Rack Ends $59.00 per pair

    Tie Rod Ends $70.00 per pair

    Lower Arms $256.00 per pair

    Lower Control Arm Bush Kit $160

    All inclusive of GST excluding freight.

    I can also do E36 arms for the same price.

    Hi I have been getting a few PM's and emails from both the series guys and you roadies about doing a package like this.

    So here you go...

    Remove that slop from your E30's front Suspension and steering and make it steer and handle like it should!

    post-1090-1304476875.jpg

    Kit Consists of all new parts including,

    Left and Right lower arms

    2x Rack ends

    2x Tie Rod ends

    1x Urethane control arm bush kit

    This comes to over $680 retail. But because I know none of you guys pay retail... I'll do it all for $530.

    Choice of CAB's offset, straight or offset hard race.

    Can sell individual components.

    Ta.

    At the current exchange rate, the Welly street race winner on racecarsdirect is going for a shade under quarter of a million NZD. Without full details on either car, this one has to be about the same, possibly slightly less (as near as makes no difference).

    As this is going to Aussie, I think we as the bimmersport community should have a collection to buy the Wellington car from the Oz-straaaalians and bring it "home", I've got 5 bucks and some change I can throw in to start us off, Ollie can hold the collection B)

    Makes the JPS 325i seem a relative bargain at only $145k!!

    It may have gone to Ozzie but it's still a Kiwi owner ;)

    It sold for a fair price. It made the 325 look overpriced.

    And yes I've known of it existence for many years. It even got used to trundle down to the shops a few years ago :lol:

    I don't think the 325 is worth 145K. Not when theres Grp A M3 hanging around :ph34r:

    OK let me throw a spanner in the works. :D

    Missing JPS car. Hidden in Welly since 1992!!

    Arguably the first M3 to ever win a race. (28/3/1987!)

    Raced Bathurst 87 to 4th.

    Just been brought by the man who raced it in 1987 :ph34r:

    Ohh and lost to NZ, gone back to Aussie :(

    Excuse my ignorance but was the NM500 also know as the "Wellington Street Races" ? If that is the case then I would be very interested in a DVD set, and also willing to help copy the stuff over using my media server rig at home.

    I would also be interested in the earlier Bathurst coverage, particularly for the era with the JPS 635i and the M3s, the few snippets on YouTube have well and truly whet my appetite. Any good books that people can recommend or lend would be most welcome.

    Jon here you go. Found this the other night brought back some memories. I was standing on Cable st. next to the barrier with no fence!! watching Cossies and M3's batlling it out all day in a round of the World Touring car champs!!

    Really was the begining for me. Went out and brought a 2002 after that to go racing.

    I've haven't got one going... but I know of quite a few out there

    Ha ha Glenn time to come clean on one of those projects

    Project thread and photos to come when time allows

    For now the edited highlights of what I feel is the ultimate 10K E30 motor

    Cars is 1986 Tech 1 M325i

    Motor M54B30 done 5K yes 5,000kms standard bar Oil pump upgrade and sump

    Link G4 extreme with sequential injection and electronic throttle and most factory sensors. :wacko:

    Custom equal length headers as in the pic above.

    Twin 2 ¼†custom exhaust into flow master twin in twin out back box.

    ZF310 E36 M3 gearbox and up rated clutch with custom flywheel.

    Tricked up LSD (haven’t settled on final ratio still testing)

    Koni adjustable suspension all round

    As for performance… Revving to just 6,500 the motor produces twice the power of my series car and the torque is massive :D

    We have had the car out to Manfeild twice. Once in the dry for a shake down and once racing in the wet where it proved to quite the straight line weapon putting car lengths on various V8 race cars.

    Driving the car on the street (yes still road legal) is like driving grandma's 316 :o until you give it half throttle then all hell breaks loose. The e throttle and link allows for the fine tuning that a cable throttle can't. :D

    Now you know why I’ve been so quite on here… :ph34r:

    Thats just one the projects on the go more to come :ph34r:

    M54 with uprated cams, equal length headers on a link G4. spend the little change you'll have on some cheap rear tyres.

    Gee Nath do you know somebody that's done that :ph34r:

    Ohh and while the M54 was cheapish the total conversion was a little more than $10k but the result is stunning :o Melted 888's anyone :ph34r:

    Oh I see - I didn't join the dots on the earlier post to figure out it was Whiteline who f$%#ed up.

    Its a shame - I reckon Noltec products are (were?) pretty good and cheap.

    Yep it was them. Strange thing was they made a bunch in the new black urethane and packaging and then decided that was it. :angry:

    Yes, Noltec product was always good. Problem is the range is getting smaller and smaller. They used to make awesome adjustable/fixed front/rear strut/shock mounts but alas no more. :(

    Has anyone hit up the Whiteline people to see what they can do (Whiteline bought Noltec).

    Yes Cam I have. Whiteline in there clean up of Noltec destroyed the mold for the subframe bushes. Evidently there was no demand :wacko:

    Nothing can happen on the subframe problem till the new year (product mangers on holiday etc) however the rest of the bushes are available ex stock.

    I do not recommend the eccentric trailing arm bushes. I'm having trouble keeping them in alignment on the race car (wheel align and an hour resetting bushes after every meeting). Could be OK on a road car but you will only know they have moved when your rear tyre is cut out! If you want adjustable rear trailing arms on an E30 I strongly suggest you use a slotted rear subframe kit.

    BNT, Auto-one, ADL etc are all mainly supplied by Automotive Supplies Ltd (ASL), the branches are known as autostop, but you can get things considerably cheaper if you buy direct from ASL/sutostop and simply ask specifically for brembo rotors. My $0.02.

    Not quite correct. ASL bring in their own rotors as do ADL etc. BnT are regarded as the official supplier of Brembo's after market replacement product. Brembo as a group is made up of many manufactures in Europe and now Asia. Did you know Brembo own AP? What it means unless you specifically are looking for a performance/race package most of rotors regardless of the name on the box are going to very similar if not the same product.

    Hi all,

    Can give you an Idea of prices for locally supplied product.

    Rear trailing arm Kit 4 Bushes Super Pro $70.00 Incl GST

    Subframe bush Kit (both sides) 120.00 Incl. BUT... Here we have a problem. The Aussies who make this kit have decided in there wisdom that E30's no longer roam the road so they chucked out the mold!!!

    I have a back order outstanding with them. They are looking at making a new mold (cross fingers).

    Also can do offset Castor arm bush with comfort hole (not recommended for racing) $120.00

    Race spec (No Comfort hole) 80A hardness offset $140.00 including GST

    Diff Bush $140 incl these are made up locally exchange basis.

    Paul.
