  1. I have 3 sets of e30 wheels for sale. Let me know if you want more pics.

    1. 16x7.5 Borbet type A - ET30. Condition is below average but I have referbed one. Bought these to fit to my e30 but since found a different set of wheels so these have to go. - Wanting $400

    3. 15x7 Random wheels with unknown offset. Come with slashed tyres and the condition of the wheels is average. I would suspect the offset is around ET25 - Wanting $350

  2. Here is one I got that I wont be using

    This 'Web Certificate' entitles you to receive a Free Brake

    Disc toolbox magnet with your order of $35 or more. This cool

    magnet is a miniature brake disc with red caliper attached.

    Just make sure that you use this WebCertificate within the

    next four weeks (it'll expire after that). Offer valid while

    supplies last.

    How do I use this WebCertificate? Simple! All you need to

    do is enter this number: 1330333164-824-328 into the

    online checkout screen when you are ready to complete your

    purchase. The spot where you need to enter the number is

    located right above the space where you normally enter your

    credit card number. The discount will automatically be deducted

    from your total. It's our way of saying thanks to our loyal,

    repeat customers.

    You have to act in the semi-near future, though. The

    WebCertificate is only good until Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 11:00:05 AM.


  3. Finished off the engine last week, had to replace 2 injectors to get it running perfectly. Took it for a drive up and down the road and the auto doesn't seem to be changing gear, will that be because I have no selector so its thinking its neutral all the time? Either way I think a manual conversion might be needed :D

    Here are some pics but nothing much has changed in terms of looks.

  4. Guides were fine as far as I could tell, I have it all back together now and turned it over last night. Doesn't have fuel in so it didn't start but should I be worried if the valve train is dead silent, all other e30's I have had sound like a sewing machine.

    Will chuck some fuel in it tonight and see what happens.


  5. what fab work is needed to get the big horn mounts to work/fit?

    It requires a small bit of pipe to be welded onto both perches to raise the mounting perches, then a steel mounting plate needs to be welded on top of the pipe either side. IIRC The steel pipe is about 3cm on the exhaust side and 2cm on the inlet side.

    I would suggest getting the correct mounts rather than using my method. In saying that, even though the Izuzu mounts are rubber they are stiff as and cheap to replace.


  6. Update.

    I have completed rebuilding the head which meant I had to replace lots of parts (mainly bent valves and broken rockers) and anything that wasn't replaced was cleaned thoroughly. Also replaced the waterpump and timing belt.

    Hopefully will have it running later this week.

  7. I don't know the dimentions of the mounts does anyone know where I can find them? also did your Izuzu bighorn mounts make the engine sit funny or make it sit better etc?

    thanks

    They make it sit perfectly but it would be easier for you just to get the right mounts as the izuzu ones required a bit of fabrication to get them at the right height.


  8. If you know the dimentions you are after. Just ring up the mount shop and see if you can match one that is close.

    I use Jag ones in my E30 as they are stronger yet exactly the same dimentions. So worth a call.

    +1 for the mount shop, I am using Izuzu bighorn mounts on my e30s50 conversion.


  9. Times?

    Managed to drop 0.5 of a second from the final corner to Turn 2 in the last session due to finding some new limits. That leaves me around a low 1:13. I am happy with this as the slicks are far past the use by doing about ~500 laps from ~60 heat cycles at Hampton and Taupo.

    edit - I should state that I didn't just drive faster to drop the time, it involved stiffer front springs, more toe out and more rear brake. This meant I could brake later, turn in easier and the stiffer front springs reduced some of the oversteer when putting the power down mid corner.


  10. gday mate,
