heres a strange one... $100 to drive the e30 from welly to taupo, $70 to drive the 540 back via napier.

none as far as im aware, i have got an old e36 one which will be goingg in my e30 soon enough

check rotor and dizzy too, if its too worn a big spark gap can cause similar issues too.

Pickapart? nice score man, il take a $70 lsd any day.

DRTE30 driving off into the distance... in taupo this arvo.. looks pretty damn nice driving off. bittersweet....

^ pulling an auto box out on the garage floor is not fun, and i would hate to imagen trying to put one back in as those auto boxes arnt light when their stuck on your chest and your trying to prop it up with your knees to put it in. you will have to remove exhaust, driveshaft, drain all the oil (lots of it), unbolt the tourque converter, remove the box, put the new one in with the reverse of above, then will need to fill with oil, which means, fill box with oil until it starts overflowing. (provided fill plug is on the side. if not fill to the full mark down the dipstick tube.) start vehicle go through the gears, ie p,r,n,d, and back to p. (hold it in each one for about 1 second or so). turn off car, check and fill oil, and repeat untill it stays full. not to say it cant be done but imo unless i had a hoist i wouldnt bother.

we should adopt something like this. tried and tested...

^yeap

go see glen??? will save you money chasing your tail in the end...

re read the last page, its said about 3 times.... what part of if the computer thinks a grown man is sitting in the seat because the bypass sensor is telling it its a heavy person and really its your 40kg eight year old then when the airbag fully inflates to take the impact of a 80kg man and snaps your kids neck back dont you understand? and if its not your kid what about when you sell the car?

anyone serious about a 4wd knows how to disconnect the speedo anyway...

guess its a bad time to get 2 more cylinders then eh?

as said above, its not the airbag deploying when no one is sat there that is the issue, its the issue of the computer thinking a fully grown man is in the seat and fully inflating the airbag when infact its just a little kid. All im trying to say is bite the bullet and take it to bmw or somone similar and get it fixed properly, dont listen to these muppets with their bypass plugs because its not worth the risk. Its illeagle and dangerous because you wont know if it works until you go to use it. And its not something that u want to make patch up jobs with.

from memory all vehicle manifacturers have to use universal codes and lights etc.. so in theory the code should be the same no matter what brand of car... i think its the same with abs and such but not 100% sure.

^because it is a non certified non approved modification to the airbag system in your car, the factory obviously put those sensors in the seat for a reason (and it wasnt to save money replacing unused airbags after a crash) the rear ones are probably designed to accomidate any possible baby seats that may be installed.

seven pct increase is what i heard.

+1

i dont know about bmws but with fords and mazdas if the light is on solid, not flashing a code, 9 times out of 10 its a dead module.

^yes, motorsport springs are about 20mm lower, also i believe all motorsport suspension uses bilstein shocks?

how are you expecting it to handle in the dirt with the big motor in front? also what kind of suspension are you going to use? one word... loose..

cleaned the interior for the last time...

fixed.. chur.

^sheep or no sheep, i still like it..

i like this latest version the best, looks pants.

happy birthday man.
