2002

Well nearly, just the low volume cert & rego to go

I'm pleased it worked out for you - I was temped to do the screw driver trick too, but was worried the ring would break before it came loose - It only took a couple of minutes to make something up Cheers Craig

I had to replace mine, but only because the fuel sender unit which is part of the pump failed. I brought the replacement pump from Autohausaz ( I've got quite a few parts from them both for the e36 & the 2002 and have been very happy with the service. The pump's quite easy to replace, the only trick is making up a tool to undo the locking ring

I'd recommend that you buy a helmet with a standard listed in the Motorsport New Zealand regulations, then you're sweet for what ever you want to do. Note: The ones the meet the NZ spec aren't that expensive look at http://www.motorsport.org.nz/Regs/regulations.htm#Manual Appendix 2, Schedule A, Part 1, page 165 (http://www.motorsport.org.nz/Pdf/M32App2SchAPart1.pdf)

I had a similar problem on my E36 with climate control. Instead of a resistor pack there is a module (basically a very large transistor) which controls the fan by pulse width modulation. On the E36 this module is above the transmission tunnel, against the firewall. It has large heatsinks on it, and is inserted in to the air stream from the fan. If you've got a 'scope you can check the input and output wave forms. A multimeter will measure the RMS voltage so you can get an idea of what's going on if you don't have access to a scope. I've got the wiring diagrams for the E36, which I could pdf and email if you like

The sensor works by having a pad short on the rotor when the pad is worn down. The wire that goes to the sensor may of worn through and is shorting. IIRC there is a connector just inboard of the rotor. You may want to try disconnecting / inspecting it Craig

I've just installed a link in my 2002 hopefully I'll have it running next weekend. It's the second one I've installed, the first was in a Toyota Rally car which I was really happy with. They're not difficult to install provided you have at least a few clues about automotive wiring

I vote for the 3002 - a 2002 with a 3 litre 6 cyl. BMW entered a factory prototype in the Rally of Corsa in the mid 70's. It didn't finish due to habit of destroying rear tyres.

Hi, I've got a complete 2002 rear end assembly c/w diff, brakes etc that I need to get rid of (I need the room) offers Cheers Craig

I would!, but then us rally guys are a little weird, I've got a 4.45 open and a 3.94 LSD for the 2002 (it runs an E30 diff) but what I really want is a 4.45 LSD and I don't believe the parts from the two diffs are interchangable

How much for a gearbox & driveshaft ?

Yes it is

It will be gravel rally car, but it's still sitting a little high mainly due to the enginebeing in bits on the bench

My 2002

European Car parts, in Papakura has quite a few E30's they're wreaking

The 2002 and some 520's had a 2L M10

Are you sure this is correct for an e30 318?, I''m using a 318 e30 inlet manifold on my 2002, it's only got one throttle body and the 318 head looks identical to a 2002 head - single cam 8 valves

Hii, I'm looking for some 15" alloys to suit an e30 - any style Cheers Craig
