Congrats. Looking forward to seeing this thing running

how much for the short block? will probably call tomorrow depending on the state of my bank account

You should probably get a pre purchase inspection so you really know what you are getting yourself in for. If you see the stack of receipts i've got for refreshing my car you might consider going for something nicer. But i've all ways wanted a like new car and banked on spending far to much money on it from the start. One day I might get there.

Would also like to know

Hel hoses are made by Alert I hope things haven't changed like Hi-tek mentioned in your build thread. Seemed good to deal with when I got my stuff More suppliers should be happier about taking my money

http://www.finda.co.nz/business/listing/1g...o-services-ltd/ or http://www.alertmotorsport.com/ I've got some from alert. Very impressed with the quality of them. Great to deal with

How much does NDT cost? Do you go through ATC

Choice i'll pm my number. I'll be in tauranga on sat morning but will be back around lunch time

I am not having a good day. Hope the new owner fixes it back to what it was.

how much did it go for? Turners dicked me around and i didn't end up getting a bid in unfortunately. If it went for under 7 i'll be laying eggs

If it is just the standard straight across subframe brace you can have mine for free

Ok well 'might do' list has turned into a done list Got a bit paint happy and wanted to paint everything. Subframe and X-brake were coated in POR15 metal ready, POR15 rust preventative paint, and top coats of 3M and VHT paint. The oil pump nut hadn't loosened much after 180k k's. And i've replaced the sump gasket. Bad photo I've also decided i'll replace the valve cover gasket and the oil filter housing gasket while i'm at it Looks like this engines been stretching its oil changes Also have remove the rear quarter window to change the seals in that

Should be next weekend

Would someone be able to pick up and send to me some e36 front struts. Accidentally scored them off trademe for $1 and seller is unhappy about having to send them. Any help will be much appreciated If anyone is interested in some e36 front lowering springs they will be for sale for much shipping is from Hastings to Hamilton.

The shifter bushing twists out of its housing. Should be able to pop it in and twist it back up from there

As promised Ok to start -Get gum. I prefer extra white. Start chewing -Remove rear seats and pop off side cushion nearest window -Pop back and slide up the trim at the back with the lights. -Should look like this now -Remove the two bolts. You'll need an 8mm socket -Continue to chew gum -Unscrew the top seatbelt anchor. 16mm socket -Remove seatbelt height adjuster. Push in tab that's underneath with a small flathead while pulling it out. -Pull up the inner window trim and pull back the door card. You don't need to pull it right off just lean it away from the window. -Pull back the door seal enough so you can remove the b pillar trim. Now you've got this -Use a T40 torx bit and unscrew the seatbelt adjuster -Now you need a deepish 10mm socket to undo the nuts that are set inside the panel. Chuck the gum you've been chewing in the socket so you don't loose the nut down the panel Install is reverse of removal And done

Not too hard. From memory -remove trim that has the back lights. un plug lights -unscrew window opener thingy. Just 2 nuts -unscrew top seatbelt anchor -remove adjuster tab thing(this is a bitch to take off if you don't know what your doing) there's a little tab on the underside that needs to be pushed up -remove trim around seatbelt height adjuster -remove seatbelt height adjuster. I think this requires one of those special torx bits -remove nuts behind, don't drop them If i've got all this right then it should pop right out I'll do a good write up for you tonight

+1 for pictures Where are the cams from?

I'll be trying alloy bushes in the ears of the diff and a delrin bushing in the front

Looks really good. Welcome to the forum

If you don't do it somebody else will

ah bummer, cheers for that. Should've had a better look at how they're mounted on.
