What a tastefully done modification.

lol should of bought your mates ones before i ran off with them!!

Not until you make a fake "THULE sweden" front fairing with a fake Thule logo on it aye bro

I guess. That's one cool car. Just out of curiousity, what brake booster is he running?

Having trouble with the brakes, the joins i bought for the resivour are dodgy and will pop out. Need to sort this on monday, once it is sorted though I am going to jam into 1st gear with a screw driver on the gear box ( f**k sorting the shifter ) and dump the clutch and smoke out the shed, or my drive way... whatever one is more suitable. It will be filmed. No exhaust FTW. This car has all the fancy parts, it's even got a throttle cable now. But I have a bad earth somewhere and now when i push a horn the headlights come on haha. Yep sure, once it's running I'm keen. Before November because im going overseas for 3 months then. You should come up here, e30m50 meet, that will make 4 of us. You, RyanG, Kerry, me.

Wil get going monday. Old RyanG has had too many beers

Good luck changing gear bitch! hahaha.

Bitch! You are starting my car and I'm in a f**king uni lecture! Nah all g. lol.

That thing is ugly in my opinion. I like honda's though, as long as they have 2 wheels, 1000cc, and a RR on the end.

Even if you got it for $1, if would cost at least $400 to get the car to you, then the work involved to convert into an e30 would cost megabucks if you didnt know what you were doing. All for a 3L m60? It's a half ass engine to begin with. It's like doing all the work to put an M50 into an e30 and deciding to go with a m50b20..

You can get windex in New Zealand???

Seriously over priced too in my opinion lol

That is like the scandinavian version of what we used to do in our VK commadore. AWESOME.

God gave us toe nails so we dont need to wear shoes when grinding right Also those Warehouse grinders are awesome, you can make them into smoke machines / flame throwers, and they come with a 12 month warrenty so you can just keep returning them. "What were you using it for?" - Warehouse person "Cutting down a tree"

If that is the case it doesn't turn over at all. The M50 turns over, just no spark or fuel.

We converted it to manual long before the m50 conversion.

Thanks for the update RyanG Old "RyanG" here knows a royal **** ton more about wiring than I do, if you haven't noticed..

I'll let you know when it's all go. Here are some pics of the conversion so far. Empty void. m50 with getrag 240 on it Backyard mechanics 101 The messiest shed in hamilton

Have tracked down the wiring fault to the crank position censor. The wire that nearly made the car catch on fire was a dead short, some sites say it was for ABS, some say it was for airbag, I have no idea. But without that wire my mates e30m50 worked with that loom, so it's not needed. Going to ply the crank position sensor out tomorrow and put in a replacement, then HOPEFULLY we will have some fuel and spark..

Not her!!!111111!!11!11 Jase, Matt, RyanG, we have a mission on tomorrow evening

OH COME ON RICHARD!!

You are home too early!

lol

Well all I had to do was sort the gearshifter out and the exhaust... now im back at square one... I got my engine loom off my mates e30m50 which didn't have ABS, mine did. Turns out that is a BIG ISSUE. Turned the key and my wiring loom started to smoke like **** and ****ed the fuse box, burnt wiring at going back through the firing wall into under the glove box. Looks like we are going to be rewiring a fair bit of the car now.... Shouldn't have the same problem again, we just ripped all the ABS wiring out... feck it. We need to replace the fuse box and a few other pieces, which isnt a bad idea anyway because once opening the fuse box we discovered some muppet had already absolutely rangi'd it up. ARRRGH. The joy of engine swaps eh..

hahahahaha
