most photographed car on bs

Dad just got some through a mate of his, 2 litres for $45

Rang up BNT about that oil ant its $30 a litre. Sounds a bit expensive or is it normally that much?

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?

brand new center caps for the original bottle cap style e30 rims.

come with the bmw logo on them aswel, decent quality

can get matt black ones for people who have painted there rims black.

They look the same as the original genuine ones except there brand new.

only 45$ per set of 4

Dont have very many sets so if your keen pm me or email me and ill reserve a set for you.

Go and see Phil at Sun City. He's the business!

They're located at 300 Jervois St, Hastings. Between Karamu Rd and St Johns College

Good luck

+1, he is a good guy and does good work

Happy Birthday mate, your getting old

not again

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?

Pics of rs's?

ha, has Grant sent in his form yet?

Don't lie Simon, you know you like it

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

PM me your address and I will send you a couple of spare rockers (I presume this is an M20 motor)?

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

Does $1600 sound reasonable?

No, you don't have to hit the rev limiter to break them, though it is normally how they snap. Depending on what rocker it is you may be able to do it with the head on, remove whatever is in the way and pull the rocker shaft forward as far as you can and see if the rocker could be slipped off.

Or get real bodgy and weld the thing back up again, I've seen that done.

It does sound a bit dodgy that it snapped pretty quickly after a tappet adjustment. You could try hit up jeff gray about it but would be very hard to prove anything.

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

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

Technically it was only the radiator bung ha still DHA now sits coolant free awaiting a new one gutted it started out as an easy job. On the up side that means ive nearly replaced everything on the 325 bahaha

apart from the beige seats

My favorite
