Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
e30ftw replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
Source? I've never heard of different G260 boxes on the e30 M20 so I'm curious. -
Yeah I wasn't talking about panel by panel reproduction, I was referring to the original posted link where they recreated every panel of the chassis and sell it as a complete body panel set Toyota AE86.
-
I've bought some of the smaller panels from E30 Garage and they are very good quality. Far better than some of the other reproduction panels that come from Thailand that are thinner metal, stamped poorly and jagged edges. I wouldn't be surprised considering the investment they have made to produce tooling to stamp M3 panels that they would eventually have enough to make a complete chassis almost. I wonder what the original manufacturers think about it.. does it cross into their patents/trademarks selling an entire reproduction chassis

The belt will make that noise if you got coolant on it. I did that recently and had the exact same noise. You can either try cleaning off the belt with some electrical cleaner (doesn't leave residue), in my case this helped a little, or suck it up replace the belt again like I ended up doing. I'd just finished replacing the pump, thermostat, belts and tensioners too so that was fun doing the belt again..

Weird when you run the Vin on it, it comes back as a Sedan not Coupe. -
Yes the lift pump is just to prime the external pump and is only a very low pressure pump. I don't know if it's supposed to be 5V though. Have you tried bench testing it with 12V?
-
That is the lift pump. It feeds the external pump and reads tank level. Either it's dead or the plugs missing as you mention there wasn't a plug.. Item 10 and 11 is the newer revision which is the in tank pump and fuel level sender, separate units, on a cradle. I'm pretty sure if you get a cradle you can switch to the newer style and use in tank fuel pump instead of the lift pump and external. You will need to do some wiring though.

Curious why it would need to be modified to fit a vert? Looks like you'd be able to fit your fist between the guard and sump now
-
What ECU do you run it on?

Looking for an M50 oil filter housing, with the metal cap.

Pre facelift and UK import.. it'll be rusted pretty hard. I've seen enough pre facelift firewalls over the years, they rust HARD compared to facelift models. Won't be the only spot either I bet. -
Nice. Glad it helped someone else out too. I was also looking at disabling the Drivers wish input on mine but require clutch input to disable it. I've since found I can ground the DME clutch input signal so I need to test it out and see what different that makes. Sounds like its worthwhile, hopefully mimmick more of a cable throttle behavior.
