  1. I've been having the same issue the past months - exactly the same symptoms plus the RPM dipping every few seconds (and stalling when cold)

    Did you get it sorted?

    What I've done:

    Smoke test (no significant vac leaks), clean out the ICV with carb cleaner, replace throttle position sensor (mine was bad, easy to test), pulled apart the AFM and adjusted the slider thingo

    All of this did not much at all unfortunately, I ended up swapping the ignition coil which was bad and causing the idle to dip so now I just have the symptoms above. 

    What I would recommend to do if you haven't already: 

    Test AFM with a known working one if you can 

    Failing that - check out the TPS with a multimeter 


  2. As per the title I've now decided it's time for another e30 

    Not too keen on a 4cyl (because power) but may be open to a 320i however must be manual 

    At the moment I'm going to say I'm looking to pay around $3000 which I am well aware probably won't get me a road legal one due to the e30 tax at the moment but that's not a big issue, looking for a bit of a project anyway

    I say around $3000 but that obviously depends on the condition - I'm not going to pay that for your dereg farm hack, but I may give you 5 for a tidy one

    Not in a massive rush to get one, have a few months at least so if you are thinking of selling in the near future then let me know!

    Cheers guys (and girls?)


  3. As per the title, up for sale is my e30.. 

    Pretty damn tidy car in my opinion, 190,xxx kms with a nice straight body and a solid motor. 

    Recent work includes: water pump/ thermostat replacement (previous owner did cam belt), new windscreen washer bottle, LCA bushings and brake hose. 

    Was serviced in October 2016

    Soon to have fresh wof and Reg

    Interior is nice and tidy with only one small (3cm approx) tear in the drivers seat and no other damage to seats

    Almost everything on this car is stock standard so would be the perfect base for a project or just a tidy daily

    Only issue I've found is the lock mechanism on the drivers door has imploded, however the central locking still works from the boot or passenger door and I managed to rescue all the lock bits out of the door but wouldn't have the slightest clue how to fix it. 

    I'm looking for about $3500ono at this stage which includes a Pioneer head deck and Fusion 10" sub tube 

    Viewing is recommended and is on the North Shore

    Will post some more pictures this weekend if there is interest
