haha i just read the whole thing, couldnt work out what was going on.

cheers mate, will be doing all this tomorow after school.

HB mate

Hmm oh well say it again. Welcome and Glad to hear you want an e30

Thanks mate, yeah im glad there wasnt anything major!

Oh and i bought some clear lights for her too.

Stage One is nearly complete.

Im already collecting parts for Stage Two, really cant help myself.

Hmm well bad news. In short the motor isnt running properly seems like its only on 7 cylinders. The engineer has come and had his look and all seems to be well so far, wants to take it for a drive before he passes it. I went for a little drive on Friday and found the following wrong.

Temp gauge doesn't seem to work.

needs a serious wheel alignment

not running right (needs ECU re flashed to run without auto too i think)

the pad wear sensors put into my wilwood pads

and that's about it.

To be honest i was expecting a longer list than that so im happy for now:)

Just hoping that my engine can be sorted soon and cheaply.

seriously short of money, between this and getting my harley engine freshened up and a 1550 big bore kit into it keeps me broke

there is a v12 motor for sale on trademe for 4grand i think... next e30 conversion? haha i wish

I had a mate of a mate who put a GT68R45p fledel edition on a RB31detttttt (special super bored out onli 1 of a kind bro), he picked it up off a guy who knows a guy and its real mint, goes hard as. Turbos all the way bro. Superchargers are for muscles cars THAT CANT CORNER LOL

RB RB RB RB RB RB RB RB RB RB RB FTW ALL OTHER ENGINES ARE sh*t, V8 KILLERZ

(not directed at anyone here )

get in before the lock!

Haha nice henry:D

Welcome haha +1 to Johns comment

engine conversions and how many fiddley little things that need doing

SC is relatively simple to do compared with turbo, however more for low down torque. turbos good for mid to high end pull, really personal preference. i believe a SC would be cheaper however im not 100% as only researched into turbos

Could be an out of calibration gauge because of the mismatch between facelift and pre facelift. Would suggest using the temp sender that was on your old motor becuase that would match your temp gauge

tough looking car mate

HB mate.

just did my mates E30 facelift and took the moldings off, was easy to get off and well worth doing it, looks mint

thats an awesome line up

Its a good way to spend money on useless things if your that way inclined

mate, all this stuff is looking so hot! sway bars are definatly high on my list.

think it looks tough as white too.. but your car

This thing looks awesome! congrats on getting it looking so good

Happy Birthday, from what i have read you really know your stuff

fell through said he was home sick or something but rescheduled for friday. which is not such a bad thing, gives me time to get her looking mint. first impressions and all.

sh*t yeah thats a great price. yeah times no worries need a bit to save some money after cert bla bla its a quick way to spend $1000, cert tires rego and wof lol

Hey Sam,I know you & your Dad said I'd be impressed when I picked the gear up but the difference is waaay beyond my expectations-totally different car.

And by the way big ups to you.The box & diff are sweet.Thanks heaps.

thanks mate im glad to hear.

Go to repco and get the 16mm adjustable Whiteline rear bar, can hook you up a great price, will make a hell of a difference, see my project thread for reviews on it Keep the front bar stock. Trust me on this, I have just put in a 24mm front and it's very excessive for road use...

sweet mate, sounds good will have a look into this! how great is a great price...
