HKS = Mobil rebranded One of the other tuner brands is Elf rebranded but I can't remember which one. If you need Elf on a Sat you can always visit ADL Autoparts where I use to work. They are open till 12 and are a major Elf agent. Carry a bit of stock including 20ltr and 200ltr drums. Easy indicator for the average joe to make sure he is getting the newest oil avalible look for the oils SJ/SL/SM rating. The current ELF range is SM. SN is on its way. Most stuff you find in your non specialised mechanics is SJ or if your lucky SL. This is not suited to anything past the late 90's. The branding and viscoscity will not change by the year rating will. Really only have to worry if you are running a high end newer car though. Many new Euros will actually tell you if the grade is not good enough now.

Not for the race series Shelley. Would be my daily so well looked after.
-
Oi you were meant to call me if you were going to sell. Let me know when it is back at the shop and I will come down for a good look over.
-
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?
-
Sweet as. Shame though as there is not one other decent E30 forsale at a realistic price right now. Getting sick of scrolling through the overinflated rubbish that is on Trademe right now. e.g. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-372921880.htm Cheap wheels and a ton of rust work doesn't make an average 325 worth that much. If he changes his mind hit me up.

Wish the Jammer was installed when I decided to pass a badly swaying speeding truck on the Hauraki plains. Passed at 130kph to get past as quick as possible. Got pinged by a cop for doing so. Prior to this I had been on cruise control set at 100kph all the way from Taupo. Jammed a cop on the way to Hampton just past Mercer not long ago. Would have got another bloody pointless 100 in a 100 zone fine. Towing a trailer. Another outdated law designed for unbraked rental trailers being towed behind 1986 Mitsi Sigmas. Speeding is speeding though. You want to speed you have to be prepared for the consequences. I do all my real speeding on the track. Just remember how many muppets are on the road with you. All it takes is one herpderp idiot in his cut spring cefibro to pull a dirf (Failed Drift into curb) in front of you and your screwed.

I pro do on one of my motors. Will have a look tomorrow.

I see you carry around a bottle of water. (Every E30 should ) but has the car had any heating issues? Can you get us up some pictures of the bad clear coat on the boot? How bad is the diff whine? Is there much play in the diff? Cheers Dan

The Jammer in my fathers E55 is Active all the time and 100% hidden. It will give a solid tone for around 5 seconds when it is jamming. Then switch off for a set period of time. This allows you to slow down. There is only one decent brand avalible in NZ. http://www.laserstar.co.nz/ The guy was on the forum a while back. I think he likes VW's or something. No idea why. Do not bother with the shitty Passive Jammers. They do not work. This has been proven over and over. It has to be active. This means it is always jamming. Even if it is not you being targeted.

Reckon it would be the same as the B20 one? I have a few of them. And yeah not the first complaint about them. Did you give Ray at HellBM a call?
-
Yes that is correct. They will fine you for Fraud. Similar rule applies to people running a Dealers plate on a car that already has a rego in NZ.
-
Here you go. Best debating I have seen in years tbh. I download quite a bit. Mostly TV Shows that we don't get in NZ. Or are way behind in. So I have been looking into VPN's. Other than ipedator is there any other similar ones that you guys have tested. Also how many connections can it take? Can I share it with my brother and sister in a different house?

Dirty car hipster. Go sit in Ponsonby with your Ipad and skinny Jeans.

I had to laugh because it is true. Though now I can imagine he will just get it running as is and start off another crappy look. And all his fanboys will reattach themselves to his balls.
-
Turn the difficulty up then. It will then be hard to win the races and you won't get as much.
-
Oh I don't need one. Still have my working C64. Had it since I was 7. Now nearly 30.

Xmas Special was a Special. Didn't have an episode number.

Which Dave? There is more than 10 on here. Haha. Happy Birthday anyway!

Sorry but iRacing, rFactor, Live for Speed are all ancient crap now. The only realistic part of them was the physics engine. And that was only "realistic" compaired to any other games physics engine at that stage. Nothing else in the game gave you any sense of realism. There is no changing factors in those games. No bumps, no off line marbles no intelligent AI. The cars behave exactly the same way on every corner every time. IMO playing shift 2 is closer to racing my series car than any of those "Sims".

GT5 is sh*t. Shift 1 was sh*t. Forza 3 was average. IMO. Shift 2 however is not half bad. The physics will take a while to get use to but once you do you may like it. I do. The brakes are the most realistic brakes I have found in a game. The AI is just awesome! You can race alongside them and they will test you! They are not on some set lame ass line like the crappy GT5 AI. It actually feels like you are racing another human that actually cares about their car. There is plenty of BMW's. Including an E30 M3. There is even a Merc 190E Evo 2 which is awesome. The way you mod your cars is a mix between NFS and Forza. Similar class ratings to Forza. The tracks are great and there is many versions of them. You are rewarded for mastering the track which on some of them is not easy. Especially once you get into the faster cars. You can put the V10 into the E30 M3. The race modes are quite good too. Time attacks etc. Also live rewards for beating your mates times. Now the drifting. Why the f**k they do this I don't know. But there is a totally different physics engine for the drifting. And it is f**king crap. Instantly all your gear ratios are f**ked and the car will do nothing but skid. Even in a straight line. You can tell they have tried hard. But imo it sucks. There is however quotes from people such as Mad Mike in the game. Haha. "Wear a Flat Peak and talk like you are from compton and you will win"

Wish there was a 12 valve 6cyl turbo E30 made. Would be such a great car to run in the open class. Good luck with the sale. Nice price.
-
Quite a few E30's have them now. They look good. But you do have to have the car sitting at a nice height. These are the replicas of the orignal wheels that came on the M E30's. Well priced and good quality imo.

Man I am so keen on this. You even get a sweet $45 supercheap SAAS steering wheel!!! It boasts the best of everything!
