... You should get a job

and a perm

hmmm?

gloss black rims would go well with your car imo

dont like but dont hate either... wernt you wanting some black rims a while ago?

But seriously, welcome to the site, heaps of knowledge on here and occasionally the odd quip or pun.

Occasionally?

welcome to the club!

safer comunities together

lol fake

click the link to the original and you can see it clearly

bahahahaha "you must always blow on the pie" "im hungry"

na sorry dude not to sure aye, my mate made his himself

well the plan is to get the rb block mounted to a rb gearbox and then get it on a crane and sit it in the engine bay, then pay a engineer to measure up and fabricate the mounts for both engine and gbox and get them fabbed up so more people can start doing this conversion. also same with the sr20's also

good call, just with rbs u need to make sure you have enough room. mate of mine (friend of a friend) put a rb30det in his e30, he has like a cm between engine and fire wall, and same again between radiator and engine. and the radiator is a very very thin one. cant remember what it was from, also u will need to move the brake booster too, as it may get in the way of the turbo and the turbo and manifold may boil the brake fluid

engine mounts you will need to get welded up, best get a shop to mount the engine for you

welcome!

dropping in an rb would be so mint, was going to do this with mine, but saw how little room there would be in the engine bay with it in it lol, so am going with the 4g63t instead

good luck, and welcome again

hey all, i have to replace my front wheel bearing, i have one to go in but have discoverd that i dont the the right tools to do it my self.

can anyone help a brother out?

thanks all

+1 for clarion head unit. these produce a VERY good quality of sound, also pioneer produce some nice sound

Make sure you take the handbrake off!!

handbrake off = the most easiest thing ever

handbrake on = a little more difficult lol

not what im wanting to hear lol

Decent ones are becoming rarer. I have sent two of them to Australia in recent weeks and sold and or installed 4 2.5`s in the last 3 weeks. Supply vs. demand will edge the price up from here now on. Only have a few left at the moment.

Call if you have no joy elsewhere.

your not going to run out any time soon are you ray?

actually befor i go ahead and buy one... just double checking that a possibly cracked head could cause hunting???

just want to know how much a m20b25 head will cost me? preferably in good condition and in auckland.

cheers

i just went for a drive and about 3 minutes into it, the engine started missing heaps and at idle is hunting quite a lot, even when its not missing its sounds a bit different... ive had like a 'ticking noise/tappet noise' for a while now too.

car is 325 E30 (pfl)

edit: is mostly missing while under acceleration

BMW have been running hydrogen cars in Germany on public roads for over 35 years , there are refuelling stations - welcome to 1976

they have? wow i did not know that, would be interesting to know how much it is to fill up in comparison to gas over there

Have you checked the battery..?

agreed, check battery dude. how old is it? whats the voltage of it when the cars off? whats the voltage when the car is running?

yeah the ones ive been researching are pretty much all very similar to normal IC engines. They have had troubles with the hydrogen requiring very little energy to ignite the fuel, so pre-ignition of the fuel befor its ment to ignite is a big problem, ways they have used to prevent this is EGR, water injection and flat, disc shaped combustion chambers.

i know what you mean about the 'not wanting to drive around with a huge tank of hydrogen sitting behind the back seat' but just a thought, if they can do it safely with LPG fueld cars wouldnt it be just as safe for hydrogen? just as long as oxygen is kept out of the fuel lines.

lol... got one lined up

ive been doing some research on these, and i got to say they are pretty simple, very similar to todays cobustion engines, and you can get some pretty good power out of them aswell.

just want to know what are all of your thoughts on these?

i know bmw had some 740i's with the HIC engines in them on tour around europe and the states showing what they can do.
