  1. Hey guys - some help with my e30 m50 if you don't mind Changed my plugs and cleaned pod filter last week and now have an issue with a intermittent hesitation at low revs. Strange feel when it hesitates almost like a blocked intake but not quite ( ) and then it really SNAPS back to life. Lasts about 1-2 seconds. Only happens at low revs, under 3k Hasn't happened until motor temp is warm/hot Seems more likely to do after getting the revs up release throttle coast back to low revs and the when you re-apply throttle - happens 1 out of 10 times sorta deal If you put the clutch in straight away it won't stall, returns to idle What I've done so far… Re-cleaned pod filter and washed all filter oil residue out Cleaned MAF - (CRC MAF cleaner is boss) this has made the fault less common. Anywhere else I should be cleaning? Checked air intake and vacuum hoses. Checked plugs & coils - Visually they look good Replaced fuel filter (had to be done anyway) Had it scanned - Had an oxy sensor fault after cat or something (I had it briefly explained to me that it's due to the conversion, still have a question mark around this) Only started after the above 2 changes so I've assumed it likely to be related - I personally think it's related to the k&n air filter oil, I only lightly applied and let dry but its the first time I had used it , coincidence? I'm no fan of fiddling in desperation and really have run out of ideas - anything left for a DIY'r like me to be checking before taking it in? Thanks
  2. I used to live in Northland, great suburb. About a 10-15 bus into town. Lots close by supermarket,parks & schools etc. Worth a look anyway. Wellington is a mint city - I miss it
  3. That's cool - more drooling
  4. I only need 1 centre cap - if anyone wants only 3 I'll take 1 for $50. PM me to work it out.

    I've just dyed my E30 carpet to black, I found it very frustrating

    I like a mint looking 4 door, nice work. What size rims and tyres are those?
  7. Have you tried for tent/van sites at Beachhaven and top 10? Always had better luck with these then cabins and batches. What about Bowentown? Get your self on cancellation lists too.

    RFID Security

    PayWave is visas advertised branding for contactless. Mastercards is Paypass. Keep an eye out for those logos they'll start popping up.

    RFID Security

    Payment networks estimate another 3 years for this in NZ - still a massive lack of compliance standards. NFC mobile gift cards/loyalty cards will be first - BIG step towards the wallet-less society

    RFID Security

    Like it or not its coming - repco is amongst the early adopters that have been rolling out contactless capabilities for a while now, more corporates rolling it out Q1 next year. Any new merchant who wants to accept visa/MasterCard from April 2013 will be required to have a contactless capable Eftpos - surprise, surprise the merchant wears more cost on transacting contactless.. More fees loaded by Aussie banks on Nz business -

  17. Hey guys. My accelerator mounting bracket, due to rust crumbled and came away from the floor when removing the pedal. The floor itself is really not that rusted (fixable easy enough) Suggestions for attaching the pedal? Worth looking for another bracket to tack on or make one? Any aftermarket pedals easier to mount without original floor mount? Thanks
  18. I'm putting in new (second hand) carpet in my e30. I used a can of foam shampoo that come with a brush. I used liberally, scrubbed the foam in, left in the sun to dry then vacuumed. I was surprised with the result as it came up better then expected and looks almost new.

    smartphones

    iPhone + Jailbreak I rate it because I can pretty much have it however I want.. FREE apps's anyone? Pros Eveything Cons ... Nothing. That's just my view
  20. I've got a set of rims stored in my shed that look exactly the same. I had presumed it would be a relatively cheap fix (strip and reapply clear coat) I need to stop presuming

    iRacing

    Ive always wanted to get into iracing, looks good and gets good reviews - be good to get your feedback after some more track time to see if you'd stick with it? What hardware are you using - screen size, controls etc? (pictures?)
