how hard is it to score the diesel crank in NZ? so u gonna use 2.7 L eta crank with 2.7L con rods using 325i pistons and 323 head?

shot Gus, nice article dude :thumb: where do u get Total BMW mag from?

What really happened on that day, only a few will know. As far as the majority of the public is concerned, we are all meant to believe the sh*t we got from CNN/ABC and so forth. Our society is driven by greed and self benefit. One group of people have to lose something in order for another group to become wealthier and more powerful........ Each war has a price and its own economic benefit for the aggressor. In the end of the day, we should all get a life and just get a long with our lifes and turn a blind eye to whats really happening in this f**ked up world. Unless u gonna do something about it, just stay quiet

i used a piece of old copper wire from line a phone or even a pin will do connect pin 7 to 19 and turn the ignition into ON position, dont start the car If u wanna be on a safe side, use a wire with a fuse in case something goes wrong its really easy

i am really suprised the E36's dont rub, my parents E36 got f**k all gap between the tyre and the rear guard, theres like 1 finger gap between the two. I suppose it comes down to suspension geometry and the guard design etc. But E30s with 17s look rude, i reckon 16 is the biggest wheel E30 can take and look good in my opinion. I wonder how big of wheels u could fit under the E30 M3 guards

i am just suprised no one noticed this when the whole interior/engine was ripped out during the rebuilt/mod stage cuz i dont think one huge hole in the floor appears overnite.......

get like mongoose or AVS make sure its the "5 star" alarm rating alarm they sell for like 200-300 plus install i think

make sure u put the right oil in the diff as well. I believe E30 diffs take 80W viscousity oil. Mite wanna go and see Ernest at Bavarian Motors in Glenfield

I am gonna start looking for a M325i as well very soon I hope, the problem is finding a good one for a reasonable price. But the thing is just about every man and dog on this forum is gonna be after one as well. and thats where Supply/Demand price war comes in If i wont be able to get one for 9-10k, i will have no choice but to settle for 325i and i dont wanna sell my 318i for like $1000 just because its "318i". Its like in mint condition with low km, but ppl see 318 as 318.

the shell u got, does it like have rego or rego on hold? if it doesnt u pretty much have to register a new car for nz roads, and i dont think u can register E30s any more with all the new frontal impact laws etc cuz the chassis numbers are different, so like insurance and wof places will treat the new shell being dodgy get a car thats registered with a f**ked engine or whatever for like $1000 and transfer all the running gear into it and get it certed. I think thats your only option i am afraid. Paint? well depends how good u want the end job to look, el cheapo paint mite be a few hundy, decent paint job u looking at a few grand. Not sure how much the whole transplant of engine and etc will cost u as well. To sum it up, get a car with rego and do the swap, then save up for paint and kit etc.

your ride sounds pretty sweet dude, wonder why did that guy sell it for or is there anything minor wrong with it aye?

could be a few things aye, are u sure its the diff? if it is the diff, either have to get it reconditioned or probably source one 2nd hand from another e30, doesnt have to be the same ratio, as long as it bolts on aye, saves u time looking for identical one

depends how complete the engine is, i bet there will be a lot of ppl on the forum keen i smell a bidding war coming up hah

i am scared to think what u can do to a 325i say for 50 odd thousand u got in ya bank instead of buying that M3

got more details and pics what gearbox does it come with? location of the parts/car?
