N00b with a 1997 323i, how can I fill my ATF?
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to genka's topic in New Member Introductions
is there a big 17mm bolt near the rear of the trans like this photo? this is your filler hole labeled F http://s707.photobucket.com/albums/ww78/et...nt=DSC00004.jpg -
i would think the shocks are the wrong ones for your setup. there are two main types of Bilsteins for E30s, are you using Bilstein Sports or Bilstein HD (Heavy duty) shocks with your H&R springs? The Billysports are a shock designed only for lowered setups, and the HDs are for standard, and neither should not be used in the place of the other. If they are sports then im stumped, but i have seen this happen on E30s stateside when they used HD in place of sports on lowered setups thinking they were essentially the same thing. Was ebaich springs iirc but all the same as far as this is concerned. has something to do with the valving on them

i use a syring (~sp?) on a 1m long piece of fuel line to pump it in. make sure you get a syring that can hold 250ml-500ml or you will be there for hours. i used a 50 ml syring the first time i did it coz thats all i had, didnt do the math to start how many times i had to pump that thing lol -
come to think of it was this why mitch S (the 4x4 dude) was texting me about white pfl parts a day or too ago? haha
-
i knew this would happen sooner or later.... no offence but thank christ it wasnt your dads 635CSi or wills E30! i would have had to kill you in other news, you could cut your loses and buy a 5 series like you wanted..... i have one going cheap.. not the wagon though your not getting that haha
-
Just picked up a late 525iA locally so quite happy with that thanks though!
-
Now work in an dirty industrial area, will be going to Wellington most days and don't want the milage on the wagon, and I need to replace the transmission in the wagon anyway, so after a beater Doesnt have to be BMW, doesn't even have to be euro. Will pay up to $3k but I'm happy with a $500, must have warrant done in the last month or two and at least some reg to go and ideally 2L max etc. E30 318i would be ideal Would consider e36 mercedes eclass Audi vw Volvo etc Hardly on the forum at the moment so text/call 0273079322 Thanks

Go onto realoem.com and punch in your vin, it will show you an exploded view of the fuel system wiring, which you can compare to a non SA circuit. Are you getting spark? Check ecu has terminals the right way around if you removed it. Iirc the car will still crank even if there is no ecu in the car as it's a separate curcuit. Certainly the case with m5x conversions. I must say I haven't really played around with m20 other than doing a manual conversion. Only wiring you have to do for that is under the gearstick which I assume you have done Also text me about that valence next week if you still want it

E30 Hartge H27 replica 2.7L 5spd ,trademe now $3500s/r

Fuuu I hate not having broadband!!! Didn't see this one! -
Keen if it come to taupo in September

Put new oil in the transmission which has being playing up and brought some time before that needs to be replaced. Before im asked, i am tempted to put the m52b28 from my e30 I parted out into it and manual convert at the same time, seeing as I'll be pulling the engine to change the trans anyway and I haven't sold that yet... Hmmm Washed it today too looks a million bucks Installed an E30 wheel, looks much better than the stock e34 non airbag wheel Had my ACSchnitze rims painted a few weeks ago too, looking good ha

Don't have this, was binned when I binned my stock exhaust, but if there's anything you need for yours off mine, come over on monday and grab it, everything is being binned or putting in a corner and forgotten about for 6 months ha Btw your car smokes on power, saw you pulling away from school yesterday
-
True, but I know of a fcatory 540iT with a solid roof, I was going to put an offer in on it. Apparently the roofs prone to being very leaky and costly to fix
-
Not quite. Mines got a solid roof. Was an option
