  1. That's a real shame. I'd go look at it if it was closer to here but not worth the trouble otherwise. I do need an m57 in an e36
  2. Just had the same drama with our e70. I welded a studay to the lock nut and slide hammered it off, then welded a wheel nut to the spliced section. What a PITA!
  3. Got me some new monsoons for the 316i for $1. Super excited Will hopefully get time to paint the style 32s this weekend and chuck them on. Then drive slowly everywhere
  4. I have a nice set of the factory 16 Msport wheels without tyres if that helps? Have a few set of wheels up here if you're interested
  5. There's a guy on trademe who sells them new, out near Puketapu behind Hastings
  6. I think the only way forward is to buy an e55
  7. Just drill and grub screw it in place, have done a few with no issues
  8. If it helps we tow a 10m three axle with two to three side by sides with both an e53 and e70, with a combined milage of around 300,000km and have yet to rip a draw bar out or run out of brakes
  9. I just returned 8.6L/100km over a 300km trip towing a 1275 clubman for a mate in mine. X5 life is good
  10. For what it's worth it have a 94 date stamp ecu with EWS You can have it removed
  11. Worth mentioning that you need rod bolts in a JZ to push proper power. Standard piston/rod will manage 500wkw quite well. About the same as an n5x without a rod bolt upgrade
  12. I guess it's part of the "culture" of the boy racer community? I won't be surprised to see a move towards the 335 and such in the near future. Plenty of mk5+ golf around that have been treated to a tune to make them slightly less disappointing to drive and a few "hot" ST225 Focus popping up. All of which offer the performance of a clapped out GSR or early WRX from the 90s...

    BBS RK 17x8

    That's very good buying
  14. You can just hook a line up from the nearest caliper, open both nipples and pump away on the brakes Easy. Do it all the time in the paddock
  15. I missed the auction, really unhappy because I am dead keen on anything Fiji green
  16. But also plays with the belt angle
  17. Looks nice and weak to me. I'd much prefer to have a classic x-bar
  18. Most e36/46 are like that. The 36 is worse but they were all on the piss even new
  19. Why not a 123d? They're super neat
  20. Pretty sure she can't say anything if she doesn't know it exists yeah appears to be a pfl front end
  21. Start with basics ( no doubt you have already), fuel, air, spark, compression and timing Then I'd be looking at cam/crank sensor testing. Or finding someone friendly to scan it for you
  22. I'll be watching that auction like a hawk I believe this one was for sale in Palmy at a dealership two or three years back. Fiji green makes me fizz
