Not trying, but I guess if i got an offer I would always consider =D Yea it was in Auckland for sale around 2 months ago. He wanted $4500 for it but he didnt say it had an LSD and he thought the cambelt was "fine" when infact i just got it changed and the mechanic said the tensioner had nearly snapped.

And for resale value on trademe for example? any idea?

Ok so i have a 1988 E30 325i. I bought it for $4000 but i paid that much because thats how much I sold my old one for and thought it was reasonable. I am wondering seriously though how much it is worth, for insurance, and just because I would like to know. So here it goes, its black, manual 5 speed, done 65,000miles ( less than 120,000km ), has an LSD, full black recaro leather interior in good condition, no cracks in the dash, no rust other than a bubble on the sunroof, and has a brand new fuel pump, cambelt, tensioner, waterpump, and all that. It also is lowered 35mm on Apex springs and has had the guards rolled slightly to fit the 205s, but i had them repainted at the same time so looks good. oh and it also has slotted front discs from EBC brakes on the front which are brand new. Any ideas how much?

Yea i dont think you will be wanting to run more than 8psi on the standard ecu and chip.

Awesome project, I bet its bloody fast. That engine looks the business. But whats up with the guards? In some of the photos they look like they dont line up with the doors that well.. maybe your doors need shimming?

I've seen it too. Definately a ZF not a 240.

hes trolling my man

Makes me feel better about spending $4000 lol

pm sent last night

I think master cylinder is around $90 and slave is around $40. I have to replace them on my old e30. Not a hard job if you know what you are doing and dont get pissed off while trying to get the master cylinder out ( on pedal box ) It sounds as if the clutch is engaged fine. If the clutch was at fault it would be slipping. And if the clutch was stuck engaged ( is this possible on dry clutchs? ) then i think the pedal would be really really hard to push in.

How did the pedal feel? Any presure at all or light as? I'd put money on it being the master / slave cylinder or air in the lines.

True there is no ugly join thats right. Still look heaps like pfeba though. You will find it's certainly a pfeba spoiler though without a doubt.

Pfeba side skirts FTW

Im looking for some slotted rotors for my 325i e30. Just the normal size but slotted etc. I mate has a set but he got them second hand. Anyone know where i can get some for the front in NZ? They are on ebay and stuff but shipping is really expensive because of the weight. Thanks guys. http://www.bavauto.com/assets/imglib500/bas_brakekit.jpg kinda like those ones but obviously 4 stud etc.

e36 compact is just made up of spare parts off the shop floor from e36 and e30 parts. Pieces of crap.

Thanks for the reply anyway. If i had more cash i'd certainly be interested.

I know this may seem like I'm being a smart ass. But would you take $6k? I had to ask.

Yea NC30 of course, all the other VFR400's are ugly as. Meh, nah dont wanna CBR600, maybe a Daytona 675. But that's a long way away yet...

I have taken it to one track day in Taupo already but i was being pretty care on it and only doing say... 2minutes 5 seconds around the long track ( slowwwwww ) but that was a bikes only day. I'd love to take it up against some cars but i dont know if there are car/bike track days, are there? I guess there arent mainy because it would be bloody dangerous for the bikes..

Got a bike. Dont get me wrong, i hate Honda cars, but there bikes are mean.

nah sold it for 4k to this old guy so its all good, one less car fed to the ricers haha

hahahahahaha i agree! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-148455148.htm you guys should pick up one of these as well. 10% FUEL ECONOMY INCREASE FOR $20!!!!!!

Open diff, not an LSD. Sorry =P

Hey guys. I am trying to sell my E30 at the moment and thought i would throw it on here as well. - It has done around 208,000km - Cam belt done at 197,000km - Engine has been rewired with Motronic 1.3 ( from a late model e30 ) and has a Jim Conforti chip. - Converted to manual with new gearbox mounts and shifter bushings, has very recently had new clutch master and slave cylinder. - Body is in very good condition for age, i have had over $1000 worth of paint work done on it. - The car has a rare Pfeba Bodykit all round. - The interior is very neat, tidy seats. Minor crack in dash. - I can not fault the engine in this car, these engines are bullet proof and it burns no oil ( drips every now and then but does not need topping up between oil changes. ) The engine rev's well and with the Jim Conforti chip i installed. It rev's very smoothly through the entire rev range. - This car did have genuine m stripes on it which have been removed but i can get replacements installed if the buyer wants. - Very good tread on the front and approximately 70% on the back. - Just recently had front outter ball joint replaced. - Comes with spray can mixed with car colour for minor touch ups - There are a few minor inperfections, the rear gearbox seal drips once the gearbox oil has got warm. A Replacement seal is not expensive. The trademe auction is here. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=144532500 If you are interested make me an offer, i really do need to get this sold. And questions please ask.

If you want to turbo later on dont get a vanos engine.
