Have been chipping away at this for a while now and finally got it completed The Zf8hp is amazing coupled with the CANformance tcu Have another dyno session booked so it will be interesting to see the difference in peak power but I already know that the car is so much faster and such fun to drive I never thought I would even consider an Auto swap but it has transformed the car !!! Would recommend the CANformance tcu E Throttle conversion for torque management and auto blips Hope to post a dyno run next week

Hi there,I’m after 2 T bolts for the gearbox x member and an auto brake pedal to finish up the 8 speed conversion Cheers Mike

Update Been driving around having fun but the gearbox is very 80s so decided to go for a a zf8 conversion so have started the process

Hi all after a flex plate for a zf8 conversion for the e30 cheers

I went down a schmiedmann rabbit hole and spent a couple of hours on there site. What a cool set up I ordered a heater and it arrived on Friday Such good service I will be going back again Thanks again Nick for the lead!!

Was from an e39 540 non vanos

Found this if it helps

Awesome man Thanks again!!

Thanks Nick New as in Coombes or can someone else supply Cheers

Who has e30 parts these days? Cheers Mike

Update For the cert I had to send the brake booster assembly to Wellington to the lvvta technical advisory committee to be assessed They said they would approve the design with some changes The pivot arm has to be made from 8mm steel (mine was 6mm same as factory) then I have to reduce the end thickness to fit the factory clevis 6mm The tube has to be fully tig welded on both sides (factory method was a mig stitch weld) Send it for non destructive testing (crack test,x ray?) So getting that underway now Its good to know these guys are making sure everything is as safe as it can be, While that was away for a month I decided to get the heater working,I put a new o ring in the heater tap because 1st leak,I re rounded the alloy heater pipe ends because leak 2,I removed heater core and took the end tanks off because leak 3. I really should have done all that before I put the carpet back in Im not sure if they’re worth trying to repair? Or are they all going to be close to being past there best before date? If I can even find one……

I’m after a few bits to complete my project brake crank pivot under the glovebox with the bolt and plastic washers right hand lower inner sill trim with clips mid section exhaust heat shield pedal pivot bushes gear lever boot rear sway bar drivers side sport seat,broken or incomplete or parts also need a heater core Thanks for looking

Haha I think the reverse lights were just something to put on the sheet…….. I have been on trademe for months and haven’t seen any sports seats come up I need to look every day I really enjoy driving this thing smiles per km is ratio is pretty good 👍

Got the cert check done A couple of silly things,my fault The only one that may give me trouble is the brake relocation bracket Hopefully not to bad as rocker geometry is standard and it’s 3 mm one piece pressed mount bracket I got a wolf check done and apart from the conversion stuff all I need to do is reverse lights Happy days!!

It’s a lot of fun to drive Im always making excuses to go for a quick test drive……… Standard FJ box at the moment but I have a 5 speed ZF that really needs to go in soon I am looking at some adapters from pmc Motorsport and also considering making one , Its more like the kiwi way! Anything FJ is thin on the ground these days It seems like some e30 bits are getting that way too Off for a cert check tomorrow, See what sort of list I get👍

Cheers Just need a standard front lip and refit the 318 boot badge👍

It went good on the dyno!, So nerve wracking with a new build hoping everything will go smoothly One issue that bit me was a cheap tm fuel pressure reg……..should know better It made 348 hp atw at 14psi Super happy with the result , Now onto the cert process

Hi there What parts can you supply to make something up? Cheers Mike

Hi Jon Long time alright How is 76 going? Im all good thanks 4 or 6 cylinder would be fine as it’s not for a race series car If I had an option 4 cylinder Stocks said king springs couldn’t keep up supplying 4wd springs so no special orders for now…….

Hey there Im after some front springs for the coupe I tried Stocks but they haven’t had any for 6 months Thanks Mike

Hi there This is my e30 project bought as a rolling shell in 2020 Fitted Nissan engine, EFR turbo,forged fj20made engine loom,link ecu,made exhaust manifold,engine mounts,sump,fitted big fuel pump put brake booster assembly in the cabin,driveshaft hoops , 3 inch exhaust ,mishimoto radiator and inter cooler,lsd with e36 rear hat,widened steelies,panel and paint,and finally ready for the dyno and hunting for interior parts to finish off.Most of the e30s I’ve ever worked on have been race cars so we would bin the interiors so it’s ironic that is now the stuff I need to find Hope to post car on the Dyno if all goes ok. Cheers Mike Getting close……

Long shot Im after anything to repair ,replace,copy to help complete project trim type not important Coupe or sedan
