e30ftw

Since it's startup, I would take a stab in saying it's your valve stem seals / guides... Oil leaking down into the cylinders when the engine is turned off, so when you start it up you get alot of blue smoke as the oil in the cylinders is burnt.. I had a 885 head rebuilt a few months back, new valve guides and seals and seats etc, total cost me like $500 including all the machine work and the new stem seals and guides, just full standard rebuild. Cleaned, skimmed, crack tested and all that hoo ha.

x1000 That gearbox X-member!! WTF!!!!11shift!!one!1

How much is it costing? Is it coming straight from the other party's insurance?

^ I agree. If you find that too much, I think you will find the whole project more than you can handle. Especially money wise. Hope you have deep pockets.

Make an offer, Someone already asked if I would sell the head separate so yeah I probably would depending how much..

BUMMP..... Willing to do a deal.. Surely someone must want a 2.7 in their e30? Rebuilt head. Low k' block. Just needs a headgasket and headbolts, 325i loom, ecu and AFM + injectors and your set...

It IS an m30..

Looks awesome man. PM me about that plate holder still waiting! Also is that strut bar the group buy ones? Is it just the picture angle or is it close to touching the intake manifold?

Happy birthday. Now give me your rims..

$344 hah. Luke said he was going to try pick this up for $400. Guess he missed out.

Could be the pin #3 ? So when ECU comes on, it powers up the fuel pump relay to turn on the pump..

I believe that e30 is this one.. Friggin loud wastegate dump..

IIRC, It was $12 per wheel at Tony tyre service last time I took a couple wheels there to have tyres put on them. Just tyre fitting and balance, I put them on the car myself..

1. Ignition is the Green thick wire, No yellow stripe. Just straight Green. 2. It shouldn't matter which wire you use, Either way you are going to be open / closing the circuit by adding a switch in there. Pinouts for motronic connector: http://www.deskbreaker.com/wiglaf/e30/motr...s%20harness.xls Pin 29 is the Speed.

It's a SA imported e30 too.. Extra fuel tank etc. OBC?

M20's have tappets?

I too fell for the same thing.. Hub rings over the hub not letting the spare wheel fit.

So just a RB30E? Or we going to see a RB30DET come out of this? Looking at your photos, Your head has the wrong headbolts.. They revised and called back to change to torx type headbolts for m20's as alot of people were having the same issue of the hex head bolts snapping off. That would have caused the blown headgasket I would pressume.. And yeah head would most likely be warped in the area, cracked too possibly.

Actually yeah I'll re-think that offer lol.. But hit me up and I can do the whole swap for cheap.. Just supply all the parts and I can have it done in a day.

Is that Bronzit? F*ck me that looks absolutely SICK!

RB30? Awesome. Subscribed. Even though that's not possible on this forum..

I've done it before and can give you a hand / guidance if you want.. Or could do it for you for a couple box's or something..

Yeah, that paint job and wheels are sweet. Minus the front lights and shark teeth / eyes it would be pretty sweet. Mint stance.

You should have asked the guy to take you around the block, Even as a passenger you can notice a few things wrong I guess.

Wait for someone more knowledgeable to chime in.. But have you checked the fuel pressure at all?
