  1. Sure you weren't drunk and forgot where it was parked? We have all done that. Glad you got it back though mate.
  2. Not really prepaired to buy right now though. Would just like to check it out and have a look around. Once I am ready I am willing to travel.
  3. Ahh I see. Cheers guys. Wish that particular car wasn't all the way down in Tauranga. Nice low Kms.
  4. Could explain things. That particular car is an import.
  5. Been looking at replacing my 180sx and 325 with a 540. But I am just wondering what a Hi-Line model is. Is this the top spec? I had a search on here and on wikipedia but not alot of details. This is apparently a Hi-Line
  6. My 325 was pretty good until I replaced the tyres. I have some crap Kingstars on there now. They are a joke for road noise. I am finding my subframe is noisy too. Obviously the bushes have flogged out. Am replacing everything while I rebuild the motor.

    E30 Boss Kit

    After a E30 Boss Kit asap. 0211887733 if I dont answer just text me.
  8. Autotrader. I remember that! Might have a look.
  9. Just put a blanket over the bonnet every night. Then who cares if the cat sleeps there. We have two cats. And this is what I do and it works. Also hate my neighbours cat though. Its a Male Tom. Use to come around evey night looking for some pussy. I got him with a bucket of water a couple of times. Does not come around anymore.
  10. Check out this video! Who would have thought Cindy McCain, the possible next First Lady of the USA would be into cars. Let alone Drifting! http://www.dpccars.com/car-videos-08/09-13...t-car-racer.htm

    engine swap.

    Best bang for buck with massive potential. 2JZGTE or 1JZGTE SR20DET are far too expensive. RB20DET's are gutless. You at least want the RB25DET from the RB family. Another interesting swap that I have not seen in the E30's yet would be the VQ30DET from the gloria. Massive motor though. Not sure it would fit.
  12. Having trouble getting an E30 boss kit. Just wondering if the E30 and E36 are the same? Cheers guys Dan
  13. Will be rebuilding bottom end too. After a few conversations with some people yesterday I think I will just rebuild the motor back to stock. Then if I want something more powerful build up another motor. And cheers for that head rebuild guide. Much better than the bently book which seems to focus more on the M40 motor.
  14. Well I am about to start rebuilding my 325's motor. She has been great but the camshaft and lifters are now worn out. She has been driven the way a 325 should all its life. But I am just wondering if there is any tips I can get when rebuilding the motor to get a few basic gains. I am not really keen on spending money on tuning and having the ecu chipped though. I just want a strong motor that is smooth and enjoys a good track day. Of course I will be replacing most things with brand new items and be getting the head and block checked by the pros. I did look at going 2.7 or 2.8 but by the looks of things the ecu would need to be chipped and tuned. And the parts are hard to come by.
  15. I own a No.1 and No.3 and my No.2 was stolen. lol Also a Nissan 200sx at No.4 is a Silvia. Just a NZ new one. God I wish drifting had never taken off here. Frameless doors makes the Slivias easy pickings though.
  16. OMG he sprays the brand new bonnet with cans. lol. Brand new bonnet was only 69 quid though. Is only primer. But still.
  17. Possible repost but thought this could help some noob's. http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=y8lqwRJ94zM Is a series of videos from a show called Wheelers and Dealers. Pommy show.
  18. An F20C is over $6000 with box and loom last time I checked with Strongs. The RB20 is a dog. If you are going to put an RB in the E30 go for the slightly more expensive RB25. But even a stock RB25 will get raped by a stock SR20. If you want to stay 6 cylinder then I suggest you look at the much better 1JZGTE from Toyota. They are a far better motor all round than the RB20/25. Their bottom end is bullet proof. Have heard they hold well over 500hp on stock bottom end. There is a few versions of the 1jzgte. The better one to go for is the 2nd Gen Single Turbo with VVT from the JZ100 Chaser. Or you can go for the twin turbo version from the Soarer. Should also mention that the 1JZ has one of the best sounding exhaust notes. None of that underwater burbling the RB's make.
  19. After the stock E30 airbox and all its bolts and clips. Wont pay much for one if anything. Someone must have one taking up space in the garage. Cheers Dan 0211887733
  20. Typical of New Zealanders. "You can't rip the finger at me just cause I was in the wrong and nearly made you crash!!! I will kill you!!" I think everyone needs to be brought down a level on NZ's roads.
  21. Not sure if this has been posted before. But it is worth a look anyway. http://www.supercarforums.co.uk/chatforum/...asc&start=0

    Xenon bulbs

    Yes that was on the old PFL dipped beams. Which I do not recomend obviously. The FL projector type dipped beam solved this.

    Xenon bulbs

    I was just giving an opinion that my lights don't "Dazzle" oncoming drivers. Once again. The Bimmersport smart ass know it alls just can't keep their pointless comments to themselves. Thanks Apex. Thanks for the links elmarco I did read a while ago on a US site who were selling HID kits for E30's that they use modified facelift dipped beam units. They were stated to be legal in the states. Could have differant laws though. I wonder if I purchased some of these units they would be legal. Even know it is what I already have.

    Xenon bulbs

    Well I see alot more than I did with the dangerous PFL E30 stock setup. And sitting my E30 next to my Dads E55 merc there is Bugger all differance between them. Infact his are a little brighter on the eyes but dont light up the road any better. However if you install HID's into the stock PFL E30 glass they do not work very well. Still better than stock. But seem to just project the light in all different directions. The facelift projector lights work very well. I have asked mates who have passed me on dark twisty roads if my lights were bright or distracting. They are apparently no brighter than other lights. Just a better looking color. Also have had no trouble with Police. Going for a WOF this week too. Bet there is no questions asked. Does anybody have a copy of the rule thats states they are not to be fitted?
