  1. hope this isnt a victim of a tyrading missus
  2. OP updated. Please get your payments in guys, i wont be extending this another day for the latecomers
  3. i always thought you must have! id delete mine for better mufflers etc but the E34 fuel tank is wrapped around it, its not further forward like E36/E30 etc
  4. First post is updated, have 9 equivelent orders now so this group buy round is definately going ahead. Those of you that have already ordered, still waiting on addresses for some of you, and regarding payment, remember these need to be paid for either tonight or monday night!! As usual, if payment not made, you will miss out etc. If you havent ordered and want to get in on this, get your order in to me by Private message or just on here and that will be fine.
  5. +1 have you deleted the spare wheel well?
  6. Quote Wikipedia (mostly reliable) An engine is a device that burns or otherwise consumes fuel, changing its chemical composition, whereas a motor is a device driven by electricity, which does not change the chemical composition of its energy source.[3]
  7. different centerbore, e39 use a different (bigger bore thanother 5stud bmws
  8. thats Brian Howatt on the right, really really intellegent guy. i recognise the guy on the left i think but i cant remember his name. Have seen the TTV12 from a 100m away doing trials but never up close
  9. nice wagon in your avator, go a bigger pic? looks like a 540 sorry for off topic lol
  10. rather a Nissan 300ZX Fairlady if i wanted a jap sports car of this age, not that i have driven a supra, but the 300ZX is a seriously quick car my old man has one.
  11. thats still a lot of paper for the year isnt it?
  12. TPS isnt too bad to change, but not as easy as the AFM. Try that first if you can get your hands on one. Id like to say id ship you one, but an AFM can be quite sensitive especially at this age so rather not ship it. Idle control valve is another posibility for the 2k issue, but not the stumbling on jabbing the accellerator. I cant rememeber if the M20 can do that diagnostic stuff, if it can the DME/ECU should be able to tell you what the issue is if you have some way to scan it
  13. looks like a cheap stripper got undressed in there.
  14. She must be a kiwi its not broke, dont need to service it, breaks, "unreliable euro"
  15. which building are you in? ive probably been in 70% of them now
  16. where abouts are you? if your in wellington im sure i have a spare M20 AFM here we could try. but it sounds to me like its probably the throttle position sensor, with both the 2k problem and the stutter could be cuased by, where as the AFM could cuase the stutter too, but unlikely to make the car hold its RPM at 2k in the morning.
  17. yes have wondered that before. rather that than the facebook like thing you can now do
  18. took the cab for a very good run yesterday to Taupo and back in one day, about 750km made it there and decided to get gas at turangi on the way back, i always go to Z because of my fuel card and wasnt sure where the next one was, but still had another 20L to go in the tank so was pretty impressed at that, was driving swiftly as i had a lot of ground to cover in the day, and still got just over 8L/100km so pretty pleased with that. And the E30 problems story: On the way back, those that do the route will know the very rough train tracks you have to cross followed by a steep left hand corner/climb. went over those and not even quickly as the car is lowered, and dont want the lip falling off (again). But even so, started missfiring on the steep hill straight after that. f**k. pulled over as soon as i could, had a look, and some how 3 of the leads (2, 4 and 5) had popped off a bit at the spark plug end! One have them may have been a bit loose already as it has done that once before, but then came right and i didnt even do anything. Back on the road all the way home. edit: if your interested, i had this co-driver with me for the way back. (yes i mowed the lawns today after this photo lol)
  19. can we talk about the racks and basket? i dont think they would be pivotal items for a new buyer anyways???
