Got a bit bored today so i chucked these in.

That is Sick i wonder if that price includes install.

Yes it was the one on trademe, i was a bit hesitant to buy it because of how many kms it had done but it sure does pull !!!!

I Have had this car for about a month now and its just been sitting in my driveway, was thinking of selling it but thought you only live once might as well keep and start a new project thread. Just got a WOF for it and Put its Rego on hold - its going to take a while.

A little background of the vehicle.

It is a Genuine M325i NZ New

Has had a rebuild to the head at some stage $3000 in receipts. Also have got full service history from 1986.

From the pre delivery check it was sold by Fairview BMW in 1986.

Plans are:

Fix cosmetic work, paint to the front guards i replaced

New wheels

Light suspension mods- Blisteins & springs

And a general tidy up.

Enjoy !

Added Springs price

My mate imported from Japan a Full Sr20DET engine, Gearbox, Driveshaft and LSD Diff for just under $2500

I reckon it will be an SR Swap

Hey man im not 100% sure but it looks to be about a 30mm drop.

Bump !! Also have a set of Bilstein Springs to go with this package for extra !!

So i am just wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference in handling between the e30 struts ? I know the 325's come with 51mm struts as apposed to 318's with 45mm.

I have upgraded my 320i to 51mm shocks just because i got some KYB's for cheap, but know that ive got some bilsteins they are 45mm. So im weighing up if they will make a difference and go back to 45mm.

Thanks For that Info guys. Will definataely be getting the lines as it seems thats a must accompanied by the reco'd master cylinder. I have gotten in contact with Znoelli but it seems it will cost abit too much for the package i wanted. It still seems abit better to go with:

I agree to that.

Thanks for that info Glenn, as i wont really be using the car on the track i dont want to spend too much but just reduce the sponginess of my brakes. Can anyone tell me where i would be able to find Brembo slotted disks ?

Also are there any better calipers that are a straight bolt on ?

Selling my project so these have to go aswell.

Only fitted the rears into my car.

Suits 45mm Front Struts.

$500 for BS guys will be on trademe soon.

Looking to upgrade the brakes on my car, I was just thinking of going basic.

EBC Pads

Znoelli Slotted Rotors

DOT 5 Fluid

Maybe braided lines if i am feeling rich.

Question is apart from zimmermans that are very costly does anyone know of any good rotors mainly Znoellis ? or any cheap way to upgrade the brakes? looking along the lines of Japanese Calipers conversions with adapter plates.

Cheers Andrew

i have emailed you.

Did you manage to get you PFL Lip to match up ? Looks close to me in the pics.

Should i drain all the oil out of the diff first ?

Wouldnt say really heavy, just normal.. its not weighted or anything

Genuine BMW Mtech Gearknob: is worn on one side.. Still does the trick $40

Will definately fit e30 and e36's not sure what else

Aluminium Handbrake cover: $30

Fits e30's and e34's

Full e34 leather Shift boot and clips : $30 - has a couple of slight rips about 5mm max and hardly noticable.

Panasonic Headunit $100

MP3, external AUX input.

Add $5 for shipping for the small stuff above or pick up is fine.

E30 Munroe Rear Shocks, Still in very Good Condition. $100 Ono

Thanks nathan, i totally forgot about the CRC stuff you told me about.. Will give it another crack tomorrow. Cheers Guys.

Have attempted to do all that. The Driveshaft bolts are a bi*** to get off though.. seems way to tight to do it by hand.

Hahaha I would say its a manshe.
