I was just reading this
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/artic...jectid=10664268 online and rememberd i saw this a few months back
http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=29870 in the new member section, Wonder if its the same guy? Cant be too many 19yo 850 owners around lol. I hope this car doesn't get crushed or sold under the "boy racer act" that will be very sad indeed Cant blame the guy tho for wanting to use the horseys under the bonnet, altho might have been a better and cheaper idea to try it at a track day next time

Alright, So I got this idea off some state forums, Apparently you can have quite decent Bumper Lips for around $10 USD = thats about $15NZD.
Unfortunately that materiel is not sold in NewZealand or Australia.
If we have 5 interested members in th
is forum then the cost will be minimum, Then we are having to pay only $10 for shipping. The more people interested the lower the price for us. Limit will be 10.
So let me know if anyone's keen,
Thanks
Anybody tried anything like this stuff??. Was thinking the rubber or foam extrusions may work? Probably wont look as nice that edging

Ok so i replaced the GM module all is working ok, But now my central locking has gone from going nuts with the old module to all four doors being jammed open i cant even force them down key doesnt work at all tried a sycronise thing i read about, no joy with that Any ideas?? ive checked the fuses under the bonnet and around the module all seem ok . Could the constant going up and down burnt out the motors or somthing? just weird that all 4 would be seized unlocked? any help muchly appreciated as it is not good knowing your car is parked in town unlocked ive resorted to taking the coil lead with me

Hey wondering if anyone can help me
I have a e34 525i m20 the other day the windows starting playing up not going up after hitting the button harder it finally went up n worked fine again, The next day they all started playing up, next the wipers stopped working on int but work on high, next the central locking stopped working and they all day all three intermittantly working n stopping, i researched it on the net and came to the conclusion it was the fuseable link so i bypassed them now the locks work fine the windows go down fine but when they go up they go up a inch at a time and same with the wipers move inch by inch, also the console lights on the windows switchs intermittantly start flashing.
Does anyone have any ideas? is there a module that controls all three of these functions or a relay or somthing? it has met beat,

-
Could everyone that want some pm me the details \ colours just so i know how many we are up to. Might try a couple other forums if there isnt enough from here
-
Good question, I will find out for you
Ok if there is a faulty item we send them a picture of the item destroyed eg cut wires and they will send a replacement

Customs / IRD will not chase GST if the GST is under NZ$50
So, your 30 sets at NZ $30 each WILL be over $50 GST, so what you can do is ask the supplier to put the declared value at a low enough value to go under the IRD value ( i.e. under NZ$400 which is about US$ 280, so ask them to say US$250 )
--- Didn't hear this from me
Cool thanks for this info i have explained it to them and they said no prob
-
What happens if there is a problem? Do we have to ship them back to China?
Good question, I will find out for you
-
At that price you could import 30 sets yourself and sell them on for atleast double that couldnt you?
Lol yeah i guess you could...But now you guys all know how much they cost haha was really just trying to get a couple sets for myself but i dont want to have to buy 30 sets
-
Ok guys shipping is $6.50 per unit @ 30 units using ups frieght approx delivery 3-4 days Im just waiting to hear back if there are any taxes\gst or anything ontop of it dont know how it all works over there but hopefully thats the total cost ! they also do LED tail lights. I also asked them about the quality they said less than one in every 100 would have a problem and then are replaced under warranty
-
White + Compact + $30 = Win
I'll get a set to
Sweet looks like we will have 30 in no time They are getting back to me on frieght will keep you guys posted
-
no E30?
/thread.
Yep e30 e32 and e34 are the same unit i will add them to the list

I'm guessing red angel eyes wouldn't go down very well with the cops would they?
LOL probably not i had red leds in my celica and never got pulled up on it but i guess it depends on the officer. By law red or blue is illegal
-
To be honest I can't at all see that the quality is going to be the same as a $200 set of angels with lifetime warranties.
I looked into angel eyes for over a year until I settled on a set of Orions from Umnitza. Might be more expensive but worth it.
From all the people I have met through trade me dealings and through Bimmersport I can easily say over 70% have had problems with cheap trade me kits.
You get what you pay for. My 2c.
I doubt they are top of the range like your set, but just thort its worth a try If they are going to stop working it would hopefully be within the first year and then they are under warranty. And if not hey they were only $30 bux no big drama You do get what you pay for But i guess how much does a plastic ring and some little lamps really cost to manufacture ? and these are straight from the manufacturer so no middle men which might contribute to the cheap price. Dont know till someone trys them i guess
-
What is the quality of this unit like?
Could be keen on a set for the mondeo
Well according to them "same quality as those from United States, Japan, Taiwan and other developed countries and regions" I guess if they can warranty them they cant be too bad I might see if they will send a smaller shipment as a test run to see what they are like
Attached a pic of mondeo ones

Just gauging interest in CCFL angel eyes as a group buy
I have been in contact with a manufacturer in china that makes the CCFL angel eye rings. They will supply rings for E30 E32 E34, E36,E38, E39,E39(OEM),E46A+B,E46 2D/E87,E46 Compact(X3) ,E53(X5),Z3 for around 20USD which is just under $30nzd i think, plus shipping .This price is based on buying 30 units
Available colors: White /Red /Blue /Green /Purple /Yellow/orange
Each set is consist of following items :
4 CCFL rings
2 CCFL inverters
Clips and tapes to fit the rings and inverters
Installation manual
And have a one year warranty
They also do them for Toyota Corolla 2001-2004,Mazda 3, Mazda 5. Mazda 6
Honda CRV 2005, CRV2003, Honda FIT, TAZZ ,FIT (2008)
Ford Focus 2005 ,Mondeo 2002-2005,
CAMRY02-03, CAMRY 03-06,Camry 2007
Volkswagen GOLF4 and Volkswagen GOLF5
The cheapist i have found for bmw is $100 -$120 on trademe so would be a big saving
If there is enough interest i will find out the shipping costs shouldnt be too much extra per unit tho
-
Thanks chaps.
One thing I am curious about tho, does anybody have a pic of their rear lights with the tail lights on and the with the brake lights on?
Mine look like this....
Tail
Brake
There's a third bulb on the outside of the light housing I've yet to get working but I'm wondering if having 2 rear bulbs on the one circuit is going to send the light control module into all sorts of panics.
Maybe the rear fog?

Jap import car?
Sounds like you have the dreaded "Jatco Jerk".
The problem generally occurs between 1st and 2nd gear. The reason it doesn't happen when you have Winter mode selected on the transmission is because this instructs the transmission to start off in 2nd gear. I had this exact problem on my E36 and I documented my attempt to fix the problem here:
To be honest, the easiest (EDIT: and cheapest) way to solve the problem is either a manual conversion, or replace the auto with the ZF trans.
What is involved in changing to a zf trans? ecu driveshaft etc? dont really want to go manual atm
