I've just read this whole thread and I think I need a beer. I'm buying you a beer dude, total epic win of the most non hanus proportions

That is a superb looking e30!

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice! Good work!

I'll keep on the look out guys. My older brother just offered me his E36 as a swap with cash his way. It drives nice, superbly slow though, but, as a daily driver I don't mind.

I would go with a vq/vg or 1jz if using a smallish motor on a budget. The 1uzfe go quite nice in an e30, but, that's becoming quite the popular idea now and they are an expensive prick to modify with piss all gains. Who's keen for an LS1 in an e30? Nom nom nom

That all depends on the car and how generous I'm feeling. I think the 535is are worth fixing, I personally think they will have classic status one day. Metric wheels isn't too much of a worry. Wheels are cheap =DI have to agree, I would much rather own an e38/4/6 etc over a falcodore. Build quality and the amount of joy driving one out weighs the not too high service costs. Yes, I would certainly be asking for receipts and we all know how a poorly maintained m30 can destroy and rape a wallet. My last two e34s decided to do the control arm bushes but they are cheap to do and just a simple job. You must show me where to get them this cheap =) I'm not too joe average. I just want to ask the community who have had plenty of experience with these as I haven't had too much except with serviceing and repairing accident damage.

I think you really need to swap for a hyundai mate

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-259421842.htm Shame about the km...I'd happily buy it otherwise. Thought's on this?

Thanks heaps guys! Some great info and tips there RE buying an e34, I've already had an E34 [or two...] and wouldn't mind an e38 for a change. I suppose it would be a spur of the moment thing to buy a delapidated e38. I've also been thinking about an e26, I've driven about 9000000000 of them and really like how they feel [in good non jap condition] I think I may just keep looking around

I live out in the country so parking generally isn't a problem....I'll be traveling a few km each day during this year which is why I've been looking at the 7's. Also why reliability and lack of boring bland yet ideal hyundai is important. Or just buy another bike

If I do go to check it out what should I have a look for? [apart from the usual tests] I would be asking about service history ofcourse. It's good to know we don't really have a NikASil problem To be honest all that doesn't sound too bad to me! I'm glad you are enjoying yours

I wouldn't be buying an e38 to go anywhere fast...don't be silly! That's why I have a bike. I'm just wanting to know common problems with them as they look like a lot of car for the money. The 3.0 would be a scungy NikASil wouldn't it? I may go take that 730i for a drive

What would one be scared of with buying this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-261904200.htm Or this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-263236631.htm Quite tempting, but, I see both as potential trouble makers Opinions please? Cheers guys and gals Buy my Hyundai too.

Ooooh e28's are niiiiice! I wouldn't mind one

Bump and trademe linky http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=263406787

$13k for the red one? There is nothing special about it..... Blo%dy nice cars though.

Sounds like my resolution to buy a bike...

Happy new year guys. I brought a new bike as a new years/xmas and birthday present to myself. Any silly resolutions?

I've had a few idle higher because the wires and/or temp sensor is slightly faulty giving a bit of a crap reading on the good ol' multimeter. No other signs really apart from running too rich.

Is your temp sensor nice and happy? I would be checking that, have had it go on a few cars and idle is always high that way.

That is beyond awesome mate! I am completely in love.

Bumpity bump Would be happy with 2600.

I always wondered how an sw20 would look in matte black. They are a giggle to drive

Just putting it out there to see what people think it's worth. As above, 96 Hyundai Lantra, 1.6 GLS manual. Elec windows and mirrors. Drivers Airbag. ABS. Car used to be a nurses car so the interior is barely used. New oil and filter and airfilter. Body has 218 KM on it, but, as you can see is very tidy. I have just thrown in a new motor. Runs and drives great, but, I really want an e36 or another bike. Will be sold with a new wof and rego of course. Is $3k a fair price?

Complete with loom and any different parts? Not too sure if the mounts would be the same.
