http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=336892682 bump! Really need it gone moving soon!!

Still on the hunt if anyone knows of one going cheap.

Yes thats the one, But check the middle hanger bearing too. It's most likely to be f*cked aswell if the driveshaft was wobbling about so you will still have the wobbles and it ain't good for the driveshaft and u-joints.

Yeah that is because you have an open diff. If you had an LSD and it was single spinning then that would a concern.. Missing bolts that is not good, Is the driveshaft even bolted to the gearbox now? Looks like the driveshaft is bolted to the coupling but the gearbox isn't joined haha

Did you take the bolts out ?? Or are they missing ??

Nope not normal, Did you check the center hanger bearing? Try wiggle the driveshaft up/down side/side it shouldn't have any play. If the rubber's torn then you'll need to change that too. *edit* Yup that coupling is gone.. You can see it's ripped destroyed.

What happens when you try start? IIRC a battery in good condition should be 12.7V. It's at only half charge or they count it as discharged if it drops bellow 11.8V. I'd check the engine ground too, From sump to chassis. That can cause grief since it's what the starter grounds through.

Fuuu, Thought you had it jacked up on gravel and in gear driving, Was thinking what a tool aha. Look for play in the middle hanger bearing and probably the rubber coupling between gearbox and driveshaft has shagged itself aswell. That or the bolts are loose / gone

CBF don't have the time or place and I'm moving next month so need it out of the way.

anyone ??

The whole thing was caput.. It was a 2l FE aswell. Ahh well, a 1.8 will do anyway just need to find one for a reasonable price !

Sell and buy my e30.. Looks, sounds, drives awesome and handles good on the track

Need this gone please thanks

Dropping in a 12a into it now got a mean deal with some chrome titans. In all seriousness.. I'm just after a standard motor it's only a daily run around was cheap as hell. Comes in handy having a van for dem hoez.

Anyone know of any cheap 1.8l sohc bongo / econovan motors ? Mine just crapped itself nearing the 500,000kms mark so im after another one but they are EXPENSIVE on trademe. Almost how much I paid for the van couple months ago ha.. I missed out on a cheap one that went for a couple hundy cos the guy pulled it off .. But yeah if anyone knows of someone stripping one or someone selling one cheap let me know need one a.s.a.p !

http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39599 May help.. Doesn't do input shaft but he talks about it in the first paragraph.

BUMP.

I have heaps of spare central locking modules, it worked fine initially then one day decided to crap out. Never really tried to sort it out. It's legal minus the stretched tyres, but I have been pulled up and not had any trouble with having stretched tyres. Rear can be raised yes. I run it without the rear adjusters, putting them in would raise about 15mm. No AC, did have it but pulled it out yonks ago.

New sponsor?

Sick

Yup used to be my daily driver. Takes a while getting used to the clutch, driving smooth etc. it's pretty quick too has balls. Not sure if I could meet half way though sorry.

Slide them on line them up and press it in.

Bump. Realistic offers welcome.

Looks sick
