Got stuck in to sorting the normal m54 maintenance stuff.

Drivers leather seat wiring and buckle successfully swapped out. Gave the interior a good clean out. Don’t think it had been cleaned in years, lots of built up skin oils and filth around all the switches/buttons and handles. Gave it a good clean on the outside too. Years of neglect by the looks with dirt, moss, leaves etc stuck around the corners of the boot door jam and other trims.

Would be just easier to get the ticket clip of gst by the shipping company under the new charges. As mentioned dhl already do this.

Trick for young players... Bought a leather drivers seat with the correct dual stage type yellow harness plug. Fitted the seat and all was well until the airbag light came on for this.. Reset the code but it kept coming back. Turns out that the seat buckle sensor from the leather seat has 3 wires vs the original seat having 2. I believe this was a change from when going from MRS3 to MRS4 (airbag module) which was installed in to e39’s from Feb 01’ onwards. So plan of attack is to fit the entire seat wiring harness and seatbelt stalk/pre-tensioner unit from original seat in to leather seat..

No wouldn't sell just the wheels unless you want to pay for them to be removed. Happy to ship to Wellington if you arrange a shipping company to collect them, I recently bought some wheels and tyres from Wellington and it was $155 + gst. to have them sent up to me.
-
Yep those balljoints are the same across all e39’s. i’ll Pm ya.
-
Any one have the tools for hire to remove rear lower ball joints and the rear subframe bushes on an e39 Touring ?
-
Off an e39. Tyres are Chinesium but should get a wof. Wheels also suitable for 2k cup e36 I believe if you want a wider track. $200
-
Yeah I was going to get some M sways from a wreck at pickapart but too much hassle for 20% stiffer sway bars. Not really a track car but will get some firmer sway bushes I think.

Front end suspension overhaul all done. Drives alot better and not too crashy with the lowering springs. I lowered the rear using inpa to tune the air bag heights. Started off reading around 615mm (measured from bottom of rim lip to wheel arch) and ended up at around 585mm. M sport rear suspension with 18” wheels is 589mm stock. Fitted the staggered M Pars and got a much needed wheel alignment. Before : After :
-
Cobra ‘Lows’ 25-30mm lower than standard non M springs. Then can just drop the rear sls using inpa about 15-20mm.
-
Should hopefully have it all installed over the next day or so and finally be able to fit the M-pars.

DHL are pretty good. Have ordered bits attracting gst from Schmiedmann and i get a text 2-3 days before arrival taking me to a link to pay the customs bs.

That's our punishment for not supporting local businesses.. Well, despite dealing with useless f**ks at fedex I saved over $1400 on parts buying oseas for a full set of front Lemforder suspension parts.
-
Fedex better stop paying peanuts to attract the monkeys then....
-
Incompetent "customer service reps" at Fedex. Currently waiting for a useless f**k to submit the invoice i sent through so that customs can clear my FCP Euro order. Got the same useless f**k on a previous order that took 2 weeks to clear through customs because they didn't submit the invoice I sent to them. Time to blow their managers phone up...
-
But of course, the detailer you pay to keep your brand new M6 spec’d with csb’s knows that...
-
Replaced the fuel filter while access is easier up on axle stands. The one I found was dated 2006 so bonus point for it’s owner in Japan.
-
Found one.

Decided to just get Lemforder suspension parts for the front end via fcp euro. In the mean time got 2 bastard ball joint sleeves removed from the old control and thrust arms. I really need a bench vice as I had to hammer away at the pickle fork on an old chair while securing the arm from moving during the bfh sessions.
-
Haven’t looked yet. Are Meyle suspension parts any good? Pretty well priced through one of our sponsors on here.
-
Well at 280,000kms every suspension component in the front is f**ked including the rack ends. Will be renewing the entire front axle over the next week or 3.
