I'm looking for a 5 or 6 speed gearbox to fit a 4L m60 V8, if clutch and flywheel avaliable to that would be great cheers

No longer for sale, just bought a v8 hahah let the insanity begin

Thanks for your advice guys, you know best what to do and i appreciate your help. Could i youse my getrag 260 box or will it give way under the increased torque? i want to do this job properly and not cut any corners. Ray how much are you looking for for a complete 2.8 motor and anything i would need for a conversion assosiated with the engine, PM me if you like. Thanks again Sam

will your head that you have fit this motor? how much are you wanting for that?

thats exactly what i think too, its still an old motor. i want a new motor thats got the newer technology etc to go with it. so the job itself sounds hard but not impossible....

That link computer looks like the go, what if i got a factory computer with the engine though? would that be better than the link? does anyone have a rough idea of the cost of one of these engines and gearboxes?

how much for the set up? cheers

Hi all, i have been toying with the idea of putting a later model bmw motor into my e30 to give it a bit more grunt and just make it a very drivable and reliable car. i was thinking the e46 330i motor with vanos, how hard is this conversion and what major things are involved. i have the ability to do the mechanical and eletrical side of things myself was just wondering if there was some things i should know about Cheers Sam

Nah sorry they sold.

I'm looking for some to so if you find some let me know. cheers

Just thought those e30 owners may like to know i was just speaking to a guy from fibernew in christchurch and he was so suprised i had a crackless dash.. any way as the conversation went along he said DO NOT USE ARMORAL on your dash of vinal. because its silicon based it cooks and dries it out and degrades the material. To clean he said either use a product called restore-all or 1 part dishwashing liquid to 20 parts water. If you have armoral on it currently you must get it off if you dont want your dash to crack, use the dishwashing liquid and it should work. he also just advised plainly not to use it on anything as its not good for anything at all. Just thought id post up what i learned from a trusted person in the trade. Cheers

Yeah its a chev small block, it has the dissy at the back where as fords have them at the front. Cool BBQ though!

I agree here too. I have been labeled by people just because i drive a nice car with a set of wheels on it. I feel my car is very tidy and just because im an enthusiest about cars doesnt mean im a boy racer, i have my national race and rally licences and did the targa just recently im sure very little if any "boy racers" have these. Those with matt black nissans the have no springs etc are the real problems. And i agree that there is a time and a place for everything, skids too. I mean like my old man is into cars and enjoys doing a big smokey up the road and he has been racing cars at an international level for more years than i been alive, is this endangering lives? he can drive a car better than most can, also my grandad who is 80 and drives an e46 330 enjoys giving it a bootful. the point im trying to prove is its not only "boy racers" and that not every skid is endangering lives. Just my 2 cents not meaning to offend anyone.

nah its all good mate, i admit they do look the same ay! Cheers mate, im loving tourings at the moment though

Nah its not a nardi wheel off a subaru. its a special nardi torino wheel bought from the factory at great expense.

haha is this sig better?

they did the front seat faces and reconditioned the rails and springs with new foam everywhere. basicly remade the seat, $1800 incl.

Thanks mate, yeah she is NZ new. i had the leather redone a couple months ago by m.s upholstry in christchurch

Thanks mate, i was a competitior in the Fours and Rotarys car show but not in this car haha. I just put it up there so i could gain entry to the show and never took it down.

Hey all, just thought id post up some photos of my car in its present state. Feel free if anyone thinks they are good enough for the calender to use them but im not sure if its to late. Cheers

Its interesting, need the link to "things you might like" though. used to be a handy click from the photos

Haha so true! She is pretty fine.

That insane! Hungry little buggers...

same for me...

Your right i do love it. I guess everythings for sale for the right price. I have no idea what id replace it with but if i can sell my motorbike im going to turbo the m20.
