Hahaha whoa $8 too fill that is awesome Bridget! Top effort going the distance to restore this aweseome little classic for your father. Congratulations you should be proud of yourself

Awesome man! This should be interesting, be good to see what you do compared to what i done like with your brake booster setup etc. I believe they are my old headers from when my car was not turbo. Enjoy the conversion its really not to big of a task. Any help needed dont be afraid to ask

Oh you know Joel Jonno? I know him well hes just around the corner from work. Yep Ill surely let him know

Yup exactly like that and they are 5stud nissan stud pattern John

Im just being realistic and starting to think wisely about my future bro... nearly 25 and nothing really sucessful to show for my age..

Haha thanks John heres a pic.. So far im the only in town with 17x10" wide version of these. Thanks man

After being burgled on the weekend it really got me thinking, about time I sorted myself out and started spending money on more important things in life like houses etc... so im gonna sell of this project and pay some debt and start saving for once. Ok so the cars pretty much done just a few minor issues that need addressing. It has a current Rego and WOF but realistically needs a cert for the addition of the turbo, 5 stud setup and bigger brakes. Heres how the vehicle is at as of today: - 1988 E30 Facelift - M50B25 Engine conversion - E36 ZF 5 Speed manual gearbox - Garrett GT3582R Roller Bearing Turbo - Turbosmart 50mm PowerGate wastegate - Custom steam pipe turbo manifold (Heat wrapped) - 3" Mandrel bent exhaust system (Heat wrapped) - M&H High Flow rear muffler - Cometic 0.140" MLS Heagasket - ARP Racing Head Studs - 600x150x70 Intercooler - Custom 2.5" Intercooler piping - No brand BOV - SARD Adjustable Rising Rate fuel pressure regulator - Braided Oil & Water Lines - Head plained, valves race cut to 15deg, valve seats 3 way race cut and head acid dipped and bead blasted - Fresh Valve stem seals - Redline Performance E36 45mm alloy race radiator - 16" Electric Radiator Fan - Auto clutch solid center 6 puk clutch (Pressure plate @ 3200ft/lb) - Converted from dual mass to solid cast M20 Flywheel) - Link G3 LEM ECU system - Link Electronic Boost Controller - Walbro 500hp External fuel pump - E36 BC Gold adjustable suspension (Ride height, Damper and front camber adjustment) - E36 5 Stud conversion - Urethane bushes for front sway bar mounts, front trailing arms, rear subframe & trailing arm bushes - 25mm hub adaptors from BMW -> Nissan 5 stud pattern - 2 x Front 9" DTM Diezel D1R rims (My 10" Rears got stolen!!) - 35% Tints all round - M&H Bucket Seats (drivers one has a rip from getting in and out, need mounting also) - Deep Dish Drift wheel with Momo horn button - Tech1 Rear Wing (Needs fitment) - ProSport Boost, Water Temp and Oil pressure gauges - Personalized Plate "E3OWPN" in the euro style plate Thats all I can think of at this stage as far as modifications, so much hours and $ have been poured into this car she makes 270kw (360hp) at the wheels on 16.8psi of boost makes about 210kw (281hp) at 6psi. The body is definitely in need of some TLC i was going to track the car so it hasnt really been addressed as much as it could be. The gearbox would probably like some new bearings which im looking at getting done. Anything else that you would like to know just hit me up. Im gonna throw the price of $13,000 out there and see how we go... The car deserves to goto someone who can afford to do the right thing with it and finish of the last racing touchs. Cheers, Luke pics:

Not a happy man right now! Friday night some considerate disrespectful little s**t decided they would help themselves to my shed that a mate and I share. They got their hands on the 17x10 D1R rims which were going to be put on the rear of my E30 they also got my mates $800 PWR RB20DET Alloy radiator and his socket set. What I cant understand is I had my M&H bucket seats and he had his 2 RacePro bucket seats sitting there which they didnt steal, they also decided to leave behind a Exedy 5puk clutch for my mates RB20DET which are a very wanted item in the young skid/drift scene. They wernt interested in my car, my tig welder or any other tools. I know its very unlikely but if anyone hears of any of these items and has a bad feeling bout them please let me know. Cheers, Luke

Haha that is him! hes gonna be the man when hes older, already got some style. That pisstake is lame lol crack up though!

Haha was a different story with my 318is ones Henry dude that works at brake and clutch who is a rather large fellow and had a nice juicy hammer had to swing at it about 15 almighty times before one side started to slip out lol!

Hah seen it! Blair showed me it the other night its sooo hilarious!

+1 such a nice colour eh and im not normally a fan of red cars. Cant believe how expensive it is though!

I think what BimmerBeast means is that he has a coil over top of each plug, so one coil per cylindeer? The difference hes describing is having the ECU controlling the coils via wasted spark vs. normal spark (each plug only fires on the compression stroke)

Shot Jase still got her looking as mint as ever! That location suits the car well i think! Are the Billsteins nice to drive with our quite bumpy?

Hey man! Congratulations on your son! What a blessing huh all the best Jonno.

True shot Michael I'll try that otherwise I may have to try another sender unit. Cheers

The balls become loose in them and will have a slight amount of play in them. The outter tie rod end is the the piece that bolts to your hub and comes from the steering rack, however you have a Rack End that skrews into your steering rack which your tie rod end skrews into so its the outter piece you need to replace and you may as well do both sides at the same time if you get them cheap enough John Guts about your CV haha... guess im in for the same experience You best have her sussed before the 19th bro!

Mint as weekend aye Kerry! Happy birthday man p.s treat yourself to a Link for your birthday

Dude that looks mint all painted inside and the engine bay. Makes me wanna strip my motor and interior out now haha.

Im a turbocharger nut so i wont comment I like this very much

Hey guys, when my car got tuned they took my intank pump out as it was restricting fuel flow. Now im not sure if it was this that caused my fuel gauge no to work but its not working anymore. They had a spare dash which i have got the fuel gauge out of it on my car now and that hasnt helped at all. The guage is right round at the 55L mark and wont come back down, when i first put it in it would be very unstable and rise and drop randomly could this be the sender unit being faulty? Cheers, Luke

Happy Birthday Steve!

Ah didnt realise that was his car too! Its so badass heres another video of the V8 one
