Yes the back end is a little hash, it should be the best looking bit because its all most cars will see when it pulls away lol. Dam its quick! i want one in white thanks

More money spent, Just ordered a complete engine gaskets set from Toyota $$ its going to be like new

All good mate no worrys. Ive just spent another $1000 on it getting it all going, there will be more to come to lol. Maybe i should keep it with all this money im spending recently making it even better

Wrong.....you could almost buy an E30 V8 for those $$$ haha....

Im afraid that it might make me come back haha, no way, im in it for the long hall over there

I know i know, im considering keeping it but its just ill be away for a long long time. At the very least 2years

About $700-$1200 i think Thanks fella, cant wait to get over there, although i have been living the dream in Auckland lol

Taking all the V8 E30 glory in the south island since my cars been off the road lol, nice work bro!

Oh year the car is still for sale, ive had nothing concrete come through yet

Will do mate, counting down the days!! ill be in the UK in 7 weeks Haha year there are some funny comments on some of the videos, always cracks me up Good school!

Mate thats some bad luck! sorry to here that. Not a cheap thing to fix. Hopefully it works out for you. I like your car by the way

Arrrr i should be out there, im remember being quicker than all of those cars except the silver STI and the red Turbo 911. Grace is looking swish as usual my old son

Haha yip im a Bedean, we will see ....hmmmm

Depends on the price mate, if I get what I expect and a lil bit more it will go with the car.

Thats the trouble, ill just keep upgrading it haha. I was so close to supercharging. Good thought though

Hmmm...i bet you would would be in good hands no doubt I know, im eating my own words and actually think im still in shock! Keen as for that bro, ill be down in early April

Ive looked at getting it stored but I dont no when or if im coming back, ill be at least a few years. It be such a waste to have it hidden away....I know some of some of my Southern mates would love to take it for a spin everynow and again to keep the motor from seizing up but its not practical Cheers bro, im a massive fan of your car as well. Haha now that would be a sweet garage Thanks Mike, was good to meet you there as well I know i know...today i almost though i was growing up......then i started looking for contiki tours haha

Same!!

Cheers bro that would be a big help!! thanks for the comments as well Haha thanks mate, was good to meet you at the meets as well Im not leaving the forum or BMWs mate, ill b back dont you worry, ill prob try and track this car down again when i do get back

Lets get CRUNK

The new Pioneer headunits look quite good in e30s and old cars. Not as flashy looking (thats good) as some of the other brands but sound quality wise they are excellent. Maybe check the DEH2150 out at Repco

Haha hmmm yes now that would be fun. Ill prob just stick to the 3 series for a while though. Thanks. Ill be off in April 11th, beers sounds dam good fella!

It is actually quite sad like you say hopefully ill be able to buy it back in good condition in 5years haha... Thanks a lot Nath, thats awesome to here haha i reckon Mainfreight should of chucked it in with its shipping price for the wheels!! bloody hell I said the same thing mate, everything in my heart is saying dont sell, but i tiny part of my brain is saying you no it has to be done

Allo allo, Quick heads up the beast from the east/west will be up for sale, ive been offered a job in the UK i cannot refuse and as most of you know ive been wanting to go for a long time. Ill be over there for at least five years so it’s not practical for me to store it even though I will actually hate my self for selling it. I never thought id actually sell this car, ive finally finished building my dream e30 and ive enjoyed driving it so much, its something quite special i think. There are other e30s out there that are fast, some look good, some feel good and some handle, but I think E30V8 combines all of these exceptionally well. Id like to think it would be in the top ten e30s in NZ? Well id hope so for how much time and money ive spent on it haha. I know it would easily be in the top 5 fastest road e30s in NZ It certainly stirs the emotions of the people who have driven it, been in it and been left behind it at the track, and most important it makes a noise that’s just so so right (one of the things I love most) the custom extractors really do make an amazing difference to the sound and power curve Ive been fairly fortunate and driven a lot of cars in my time, im not talking just modified cars, im talking 500k plus AMG Mercedes and Ferrari's and various other high end models and race cars on the track and on the road and this one really stands out with the best of them....its that much fun!! Yes it comes with the sexy Keskins and very good T1R rubber. And yes the plates if the price is right No ACS wheels or brace Few quick details for those who are new, its a late model black top high compression 1uzfe Lexus v8, was dynoed at 280 rear wheel horsepower!!! (More than enough). Will do 550km+ to a 55lt tank easy The engine has stunning hand made extractors, G3 link computer, custom airbox and intake, 5 puck ceramic clutch, Rebuilt shortshifted upgraded and dove tailed w55 5speed box ($$$$ and awesome), massive race radiator , all new Toyota bolt on stuff like waterpumps, plugs pulleys etc, No expense spared always run on Mobil 1. Engine has 57kms now, cars done about 168km from memory (cars in chch im in aucks) All certed! other upgrades i can think of are upgraded and rebuilt 3.24LSD, upgraded diff support to handle the TQ, 16x9 Keskin wheels with mega rare gold centers from Germany and the standard ones, Gen ACS Front and side kits,Pro 35% tints, Modified MTECH rear kit and wing, adjustable rear whiteline sway, 25mm front whiteline sway, New top of the line Ground control Camber/castor tops, custom KYB sport shocks, custom springs from Chamberlains, full nothane bushes everywhere, adjustable rear camber/caster bushes, front m3 offset castor bushes, New high performance pads, Zionelli S12 heat treated rotors, Full 6line Goodridge Braided lines, Mega rare 1 off bucket seats, awesome Pioneer sounds etc and heaps more because ive actually tried to forget how much ive spent haha Oh year. 500hp walbro fuel pump, nice steering wheel....mmm still thinking of things 99% of people could not build this car for under 28k in my opinion Just had some touch up done paint wise, repainted side skirt and full rear 1/4 panel, the paint is bloody good as some of you will attests to If you are genuinely interested in the car please PM me with an offer or call, im happy to answer any questions To give you an idea of what I expect for it .....its been valued at over 20k..... it wont go onto Trademe until the experts at Autotec have replaced the HG, and pretty much rebuilt the top end with no expense spared and rebuilt the brake booster so time is ticking, Im not in a hurry to sell, I don’t need to as such, I want it to go to a good home, the car will be all good to be driven in a month or so I will not be leaving the BMW community or Bimmersport as it sounds as though im getting a new 3 series company car Cheers Riley

Ive got the Znoelli slotted Z12 Heattreated rotors on mine and they seem to work fairly well. Ive not had a good experience with the EBC yellows id used with them though. For a road car just get metal kings, ask Henry i think he has the part numbers, he loves them and they seem to hold up well under fairly heavy road braking
