Flintstones power in the boot. This is one shweeeet project, cant wait to see the finsihed result, it looks awesome already!

I think im gonna need to take your E30 for a blat Mate has a 350Z, tiptronic though... need to borrow keys for that too Wonder what it looks like under that plastic crap

Maybe 4 of em, V16.... Im still liking the 350Z engine, E30 335iZ Touring? The 6 speed out of the 350's ratio's look like they would work well E30 diff's too... 3.64 Diff, 6MT box, 7.5k redline, 17/40/235's Tyre Diameter = 1946.17 mm 1st Gear = 63.42 km/h 2nd Gear = 103.53 km/h 3rd Gear = 148.15 km/h 4th Gear = 189.3 km/h 5th Gear = 240.6 km/h 6th Gear = 303.02 km/h AKA, 2500 rpm in 6th at 100kmh..

My bad... Lack of sleep rds From memory I got the stage 2 clutch he was importing, kevlar friction plate and a gruntier LUK pressure plate. Really liked that clutch, Bit really well, felt meaty, but still easy to drive in traffic. good value for money http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index.php?showuser=4152

I was really happy with the clutch kit I got off RJS on bimmersport, id flick him a PM.

Bi-Winning.

LS1 is an idea.. but I was thinking something a bit more high tech 12A turbo Bo! sick as skids! .... BMW V8 would be nice, but they are pricey even for old engines (hell all wrecked bimmer engines are! Im still bitter about my M50 ) VH41/45 is an option, What do they have going for them over the 1UZ though? Seems to be more difficult with 0 gain, unless im missing something? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-mari...n-397039557.htm That'd be pretty swish sticking out the bonnet of a touring

Maybe, know how to bolt it up at least! Whats a low k's M54B30 worth? (sub 100,000k, preferably sub 50,000!), be nice to have a bimmer engine. Got a few electric problems to solve, and its down a bit in power and torque compared to the above. Whats an M54 weigh? Id imagine its similar to an M52 (~180kg)?

Thinking about next years project... Done the M50 thing, craps all over M20 e30's, but... I want something using a newer lower k's engine (ie something thats not bordering on needing a rebuild!), probably a jappa due to pricing and availability. Want something NA, light, reliable, available, not rediculously hard to make fit (dont wanna chop firewall for instance) Must be able tobolt up a to a suitable manual box without having to make custom bellhousing etc. ~200kW of usable power would be nice. Whats on the list of possibilities... - Lexus 1uz VVTi Alloy V8 - 216kW, 418Nm. 190kg .Been done a few times, seems relatively pain free. Prices for them are a bit jacked up due to the V8 hilux crowd, but in saying that lots of conversion experience with them about - Nissan VQ35DE/HR All alloy V6. 214kW, 371Nm, 142kg. Should have plenty of poke for an E30, and finding a 6 speed out of a 350Z shouldnt be too hard either. Surprising well priced for low k's examples. Will require aftermarket engine management to run, and a few aftermarket sensors, and a new throttle body.. Nissan VK V8 engine might be an option, the VH's seem a bit long in tooth, but seems a bit big and heavy.. Any other engines I should research a bit more?

The shell, and parts remaining on it, will be going to the scrapyard tommorrow. So if you want anything, go have a looksee tommorrow morning. Payment by beer/whatever you think its worth. PM for details and addy.

Is the kit made entirely out of bog?

Yup, Yup and Yup. Lemme know and Ill get it removed.

Bloody good question! I havent even opened the box. The one on my M50 was a big un (ground down the ribs on the block).. I think synthe sent me a smaller one though. Ill check and get back to ya.

No worries, how long ya thinking?

Bump, save the E30 from the being crushed!

Beautiful red E28, on throwing stars, down onehunga mall this arvo. Looks awesome. Lots of want.

Bump for whats left, with some more price reductions to get it out of the workshop - 85 E30 manual coupe shell Rust in the usual spots (needs new bootlid), paint is fuct (was resprayed by blind monkey in its past), random aftermarket front bumper (BBS?) and rear end. Will not be rolling, No front seats, windscreen, dash & steering wheel, but everything else is there. Electric windows, Electric sunroof. Pretty straight, most trim is still there. Might make a good start for a race car. Rego is live, still has reg and wof Open to all offers, right down to a box of beers!, best tender wins! E30 Pfl bumpers (front and rear), decent nick, chrome will clean up well $80 E30 Tech 1 steering wheel, clean and tidy $150 1 week old battery (yeh...) $100 (Cost $150) E30 M3 loom covers, as new, tweaked to fit M50. $80 Perfect condition tail light, cant remember if its right or left, but its mint! $40 BMW NZ tow bar - $20 E30 6 cylinder starter motor, as bought from synthe 2 weeks or so ago, $30 M20Bxx radiator resevoir, good condtion - $10 2.5" coby resonator, 2.5" turbo style muffler - Both have judder bar scrapes but otherwise sweet $30 each. DTM style twin tip 2.5" rear muffler, few scrapes on under side (not bad though) $50

Forgot to mention man, theres some difference between the early and late style shifter, mines early. The "T" fitting on the early ones is wider, more of an L shape, hence the stack of brass washers on the rod. You should be able to ditch them all if you have a late style one. Dont think one can buy the early style fittings anymore. I installed mine with no driveshaft in the way, so dunno cant answer your question sorry

Surge, think you lucked out there. Looks like its one of the crossover boxes, both shift consoles should fit as it has the attachments for both

Must include foreshore levies, might include taniwha tax too.

Add to the list - Brake calipers, good working order - $40 Manual rack, with colomn and new flex bush - $40 Centre console, both bits, pretty mint - $30 BMW NZ Towbar - $30 Front windscreen, was new 2 months ago - $80 Bonnet is straight and rust free, needs paint - $20 Front random BBS kit (bit busted), and rear Tech 1 kit - $50 Any other peice of trim etc in the car - Whatever you rekon its worth, most of it is pretty tidy and still there so grab it before it gets binned/scrapped
