Lightly tap it with a mallet all the way around the gasket, if that fails, thin plastic scraper and a hammer works

I just ground a chunk outta the rib on the block, big old skool starter bolts up fine to the M50/260.

Same designer as the 507 Goertz is da man, pity modern designers dont have the same style. A camel is a horse designed by committee/bangle

From wikipedia 288's are a bargain.

^ +1 That and the 62 250 GTO. Pity ill never be able to afford either

Cheers Ray, Ill give you a buzz later in the week and work out when I can shoot around. Hoping to get the end of the week off work EDIT - Got a wiper relay too?

Ahhh, so the bumpers are the same as the trim? Some ass clown has "shadowlined" mine in the past, just done a sh*t job of it , made a mess are ruined it, so would like to return it all to stockish when it gets resprayed.

A mate used to have one, nice and tidy, but 10 odd years ago now with a L28 with triple dellortos. He paid less than 10 for it at the time. Lots of want, wish I bought it off him when he sold it.

Changed the car without starting a new auction too...

Autosol restorations are sweet

Sounds like a 13 year old boys wet dream, and likely is. 2500hp, 300mph, 0-100 in 1.2s, 1/4 mile in 6.6s, 9.4 litre TT V8. http://www.gtr-xs.com/

Im after, - Pre facelift front and rear bumpers with good chrome. - A set of chrome side window trim (coupe) - Window rubber chrome strips for the front and rear, with the joiners. - The chrome strips that run along the inside of the side windows against the seal at the top of the door cards. - Bonnet, must be straight and rust free, shwarz black if possible. - Prefacelift tail lights. The tidier the better, prefer mint, hopefully someone has all this in one spot. Chur.

Big fan of 240Z's, awesome car. But 55k?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-328083910.htm

+1 I sold my diff for a $1 to Silverfox, it cost me 70c to list it, and they charged me 50c as a success fee. Awesome deal hahaha. But if you need it sold, probably the way, people are silly on trademe with $1 reserve. Pump it up with a funny ad and try to get on the cool auctions thing. I got 40,000 views on a toy plane stuck in a tree

Went with CLIC simply because the dude on the phone didnt sound like a f**knuckle, like NAC! Listen up companies with clowns in the call centres...

State suck, they tried to do me for insurance fraud when I was 18, car insured under mothers name with me as a driver, had an accident, they sent me bill for 8k 6mths afterwards (out of the blue!). Broke the headlight on the R32 and apparently wrote off the late 80's galant! Eventually got lawyers involved and we won, but I wouldnt touch state with a barge poll now. Around the same time I was working at panel beater, they were constantly complaining about state never paying the bill, or that state had decided to only pay x much to repair a car (which meant halfass jobs to meet the budget) I remember one new VW beetle that sat in the shop for months as state wouldnt pay what it would cost to fix it...

Shweet, the XT6's are even rarer, so few of them on the roads now. I still have a hankering to buy another

Subaru XT's, The uber 80's techo wedge. Had one for a month, then the turbo shat itself. Buttons and digital displays for africa. Still kinda cool

Jibber Jabber. If your happy with your 2k+ yellow shocks and shiny red springs, good for you, have a cookie. Back to the original post, Im more than happy with my half the price black ones. Height adjustability is a gimmick, but its still better than no adjustability. Installing new springs that dont have it sitting quite right is a annoying. Last time I checked this wasnt a race car, and nope I cant tell the difference between koni's and BC golds to drive on, I bet 99.9% of the drivers in the world couldnt, theyre friggin adjustable you egg, the whole point is that you can tweak em (in rebound) to what feels right too you...

I have a tech 1 rear valance, with a tow bar and its associated hole, its currently on my car but is due to be taken off when I pull finger if you want it. Also have an early BBS (?) front spoiler that is missing its lower lip (I assume!) I have never seen another one like it but its available too. Pics in my project thread if your interested.

^ +1 I paid nearly half that. How are they are MUCH MUCH better product Incary?, Im eager too know. Is it because theyre made in the US? (a country renowned for its engineering abilities (lmfao) ) What is the point of an adjustable shock if its valved for the spring rate? Looking at others using ground control setup on an E30, the range of height adjustment on the BC's is much greater. BC carry a two year replacement warranty, and are rebuildable. I have had koni adjustables in my old porsche, great shocks, are they better to drive on than BC's? Nope, better engineered? Not that I can see, and spotting engineering defects is what I do for a living. A mate has professionally built drift cars using BC golds (AKA BR Type), and has never seen one fail despite "excursions" from the track, half the reason I chose to use em. I looked at the GC's and weighed the two up, they really dont have anything over the BC's except for price, both are entry level setups. BC also do the ER's which have external reservoirs with both bound and rebound adjustment. Paying for quality and paying for a perceived quality/branding are two different things

Yup you'll need a cert for the BC golds, but if you add it all up the price is still comparable to HR+konis etc and you get a lot more for ya dollar. Add another $k for bars and bushes. Dont get a flash H&R and koni sticker though Should really add, that the steering feels like a totally different car. Standard e30 manual (no p/s) rack used to feel like a bus with its low ratio, totally the opposite now as it feels quite "darty" and needs to be consciously driven.

BC golds - Cheap height adjustble coil overs with camber hats, pillow balls, and 30 way shocks. Bang 4 Buck.

Whiteline adjustable sway bars, middle setting on the rear, polyurethane bushes on everything and 6kg BC goldswound up to 25 clicks. +LSD = Go kart fun, maybe slightly too much go kart for some, as the rear can be a slighty hyperactive (but very controllable) but setting the rear sway to the lower setting would likely reduce the oversteer. 1000miles of driving this set up and its a blast! Turn in is wicked, and its epically predictable. EDIT - I have 2 degrees camber on the front and 3 on the back, which is likely adding to my oversteer too! Next wheel alignment ill get the front to 3.

NAC - Standard - $841 premium, 500 excess, 900 theft excess, 150 glass excess Modified - $1479 premium, 600 excess, 1900 theft excess (500 with alarm), 150 glass. Has anyone actually claimed under NAC or CLIC? Dude on the phone at NAC sounded like a flatpeaker, the guy at clic knew what an M50B25 was though Theyre pretty comparable price wise, but what really matters is when they pay out!
