    E30 Touring

    How much was the kit?
  4. Dad just got some through a mate of his, 2 litres for $45
  5. Rang up BNT about that oil ant its $30 a litre. Sounds a bit expensive or is it normally that much?
  6. I have a similar problem. After the gearbox warms up, it clunks and sounds terrbile in neutral. Stops when I put in the clutch. May have to do a change of the oil, the top bung is in a tricky place to get the oil into! Where do you get red line oil from?

    Happy Birthday mate, your getting old
  8. Are you serious? First you want to turbo an e30 m3, put a dogleg gearbox in you 318i and now a brembo brake kit. Whats the point?
  9. ha, has Grant sent in his form yet?
  10. Don't lie Simon, you know you like it
  11. That are pretty much doing a complete head rebuild. Its a pain it didn't happen about two weeks ago, other wise I would have organised a lumpy cam to be put in. So far they are putting in New Camshaft (otherone was slightly worn) New Distributor New Rocker New Seal New belt and tensioner New waterpump New Rotor A++ to Quality Auto Machinists in Hastings. Went and towed from Jeff Grey, organised all parts to be delivered pronoto, and have moved it to the front of the line. Jeff Grey's hourly rate worked out to be just under $110 (including GST). My dads truck mechanics are only $60 an hour, so they have a huge margin. Just a quick question, does anyone no if the 325 allready had a lumpy cam in? Doug rekons that Gus might have put one in? Cheers Nick
  12. Have got is sorted. Told Jeff Grey to get stuffed, they wanted $95 an hour. Went down the road to one of dads mates and they rekon they will have it done by Friday. Really appreciate the offer Skidz, but the people have allready ordered in one and it is due to arrive soon. So Taupo is sounding good at the moment, apart from filling up with 98 petrol! Thanks alot, Nick
  13. Does $1600 sound reasonable?
  14. Yeh they guy said they cant do this because it is the wrong rocker, thay have to take everything out. Dad has gone to hit them up about it, but I doubt they will budge. Anyway, will see if they can do it for any cheaper or I will be counting Taupo out ha. But hey, sh*t happens
  15. Have run into a bit of a problem with my E30 Took it into Jeff Grey yesterday and one of my rockers has snapped. Quoted me at least $1600 to fix becasue they have do do cambelt and everything else at same time. They said the only way to snap the rocker is to hit the limiter? Here is the problem, 3 weeks ago Jeff Grey adjusted the tappets on it. They still were ticky when I got it back. Is there a possibility that they over adjsuted them and this is what caused the rocker to break? Such a pain as I have the Taupo driver training this weekend. Thanks in advance Nick
