  1. Valet pro do some excellent stuff I might try bring in some Ammo productsto try out sometime soon
  2. Any gasket on the engine on an m43 will leak Brake clean or similar around the intake system should help
  3. That looks top notch! Props on the Megs NXT products, I drink that stuff
  4. Failed pressure reg generally helps cold start and makes hot start very difficult. Your fuel pressure is at max during starting as there is little to no vacuum acting on the regulator Black soot is nothing to worry about. Clamp off the return line to see if it is just low pressure Check for air leaks also as its an m43 the easiest way to tell is beg/borrow/steal a scan set up using ADS interface and a serial port.
  5. I run the reservoir return in to a container and have it sucking through clean fluid on the feed side until it runs clear, not too difficult to do but potentially very messy when you don't pay attention to the old fluid spilling on the floor
  6. I'm having to let this go due to moving workshop and wanting to buy a house one day 1997 328i Msport coupe NZ new, Boston green 235km, fair amount of service history Black leather sport seats, electric The sore points Paint on bonnet is flaking off at an impressive rate, paint on sunroof has dulled Head lining is beginning to sag behind the sunroof Two holes in drivers seat, on the highest points of the upper and lower side bolsters Steering wheel and gearknob leather torn Some damage to driver's door card, I have been unable to find a replacement, the first set I got were totally trashed The good: Fantastic ZF gearbox with recent clutch job Many new bushings installed less than two years ago by P.Owner (appear to be purple proflex or similar) Near new 205/16 tyres, or can bargain in a set of nice 225/45 Michelin MXF Sports, both sets are installed on tidy original Msport wheels Have done the FCPEuro fan delete kit with new water pump, fantastic upgrade Has many new hoses New filters Recent brake pads I have done an oil change just before 234km and had an oil analysis sample done M3 sway bar links (with the XYZ suspension) Have flushed out the powersteering Can come on a choice of suspension: XYZ Tarmac suspension in good condition, currently in the car and it is unbelievable in the corners Msport springs with Monroe front and Gabriel heady duty rears (near new) Superlow springs (I forget brand) with shortened Monroes Car is not certed for adjustable suspension, I didn't plan to keep it in there as I do not care for cert plates looking ugly in an engine bay and wanted to retain originality I'm wanting $6k ono and happy to listen to offers if this is horribly unreasonable. XYZ suspension and Michelin semi slicks can be had for extra (ideally keeping these for the race car) Viewing and test drives welcomed unless you strike me as a womble Located in Hastings
  7. Having to be an adult and downsize my squadron '92 NZ new, factory manual 316 (M40 motor) in Glacier Blue with Aquamarine 90's porn spec cloth interior Approx 188km Tidy exterior, typically sagging interior (will get pics this week) Non ABS No Aircon No Airbags Manual windows front and rear Have not got a WoF on it (too many blimmin cars) but the rego is on hold. Not entirely certain what it would need for a WoF The gear box changes very nicely. I find it to be a strangely refreshing, enjoyable and simple car to drive in comparison to my other E36s. I've put a strange amount of time and no doubt more money than the car is worth in to this beast I got it at 184km and since then have done: New rear shoes New rear wheel cylinders New Cambelt New thermostat New water pump New Camshaft, rockers and lifters (imported from Germany) New spark plugs New cam seal New front main seal Engine oil and filter Power steering flush Gearbox oil Diff oil 318Ti/318iS radiator and electric fan conversion, wired in to the fuse box with high and low speed relays as per factory Second hand battery New air filter I have a new fuel filter to fit, but haven't had time yet Out of all my E36s this is my favourite, I have no idea why so I am not particularly worried if I sell it I was supposed to use this as a daily driver but I've been using the 328, X5 and E39 when I'm not away for work Located in Hastings After a hugely unrealistic $1800, because I don't really want it gone and I am indeed a sick man I welcome inspection and viewing
  8. Bmw dropted Nikasil in 96 btw. Sulphur in fuels eats out the nickel. The m52 b28 should be Alusil. Enjoy the 325 for what it is, do anl light flywheel and better diff ratio, make it stop and handle. Winning
  9. I'm glad the is getting the right very it derserves! Beautiful car.
  10. Number isn't working for me sorry
  11. I'll come grab the seats if you need them gone that bad, I have a home for them
  12. 3pedals is quite right. I have both 328 and 325s and the m52 is far superior. A whole lot more torque
  13. It'll be a wee while before I pull them (moving workshop etc etc) but they will be cheap as no need for them. Shocks are shortened to match and the car was certed on them and drove well
  14. When I put my new suspension in my race car I'll be pulling out a set of lowering springs and shocks for a 6 cyl
  15. +1 for Valeo kits. They're a huge OEM supplier to many people and very well priced.
  16. You know what I'm like with dirty. I'm getting nervous about driving up your 400m patch of shingle this weekend.
  17. I fapped all over my X5 Got me a new water blaster and foam jizzy thing this weekend
  18. Thankfully my oil fiasco turned out to be a contaminated container because my cool people in my workshop can't clean then Sadly though I may have to sell this lovely ol girl, buying my X5, wanting to buy a house and building a race car mean I have to sell a bunch of stuffs
  19. Get some poster paint, or contrasting paint to do your markings and print out a markings chart Can you find the factory spec for preloading? If so, easy peasy to check You also need a way to measure your preloading/breakaway toqrue 9/10 a bearing swap does not necessitate doing shims unless you have Chinese bearings
  20. It's originally non monitor Okay I'll buy a better unit for it once I sell off a toy or two Are there any options that are similar to the Dynavin? Or just go get of of them
  21. Has anyone got a nice tidy bonnet for my poor 328? Willing to travel and pick up in the north island Also after some black coupe door cards, single speaker type. Insert can be removed or stuffed but want the rest tidy. TIA
