Awesome thanks for that. Yea I have looked at a lot of forums and I've tried their solutions and nothings worked for me so I tried my luck with asking on here. Will give ur advice a try. Thanks again.

Hey all, I have an issue that I notice a few people have had before. I have just about come to the end of an m52b28 conversion on my e30 but now I am faced with the problem of my electric windows only working while the doors are open and also my heater and side mirrors don't work at all and I've heard they are all tied into the same thing? Please throw all your ideas at me as I'm really eager to get this fixed. Thanks heaps! Much appreciated. Jamie

also have Jamex super lows if interested 0278749527

Got the hubs pressed onto the front shocks today and a resurface also. looks so much better than previous.

Cheers, yea cant beat that staunch e30 look with tech 2 huh cant wait for its first drive!

Yea ill probably get bigger discs and calipers if it doesn't feel like the original ones perform very well.

Time for an update. After the car had been going for a little bit i ordered a K&N pod filter for it. Looks great and makes a nice difference to the sound of it. Great addition to the project. We have recently ordered a new Diff with 2 extra clutches put into it by a clutch specialist and worked on getting it into the car with a couple of other things until 5 in the morning. We have had to relocate the brake booster across 1.5mm to fit because it was being interrupted by the intake manifold which meant we had to create new location plates to fit. It is all in and all working Did come across the problem of the reservoir not fitting becaust of the air intake pipe so we have ordered a universal one to fit into the firewall and have pipes running down to the master cylinder. We started making the stainless exhaust from the rear as we were missing a manifold that was getting welded at the time. Luke (BoostJunky) got some of the way when we realized the lady who said she had given us stainless tig rods had actually given us carbon steel rods which means were yet to cut off the already welds and start again with stainless Last big job until this car starts moving! I was trying to think of a nice place to mount my gauges. I didn't really want to drill holes in my dash as there's no crackes or tears in it and the pillar mount i found was way to chunky and ugly looking so i decided from seeing a couple of photos to mount them in three holes drilled out in the front of the centre console as the photo shows. Glad i got it perfect on my first attempt. Today i received my XYZ coilovers! They look awesome and cant wait to get them on the car. Definitely worth buying. (they came with a lanyard) Getting the disks pressed onto them tomorrow. Everything's been wired up and working sweet so not long to go now! Get these shocks on, exhaust made up and put on, brake booster reservoir relocated to firewall and bigger front brakes and rotors. Will try to be more onto it with my updates =) Thanks for the interest everyone!

Haha yea, gotta get the right choice the first time can't wait to put them back in Thursday/Friday. Should be driving it up to your place sometime soon Wicked man hope all goes well! You'll have to post how it all goes with the xyz's

Hey guys, i finally made the decision to call up speed factor in Tauranga and order some XYZ coilovers. Just need to send the struts and they'll set it all up for me at a price of around $1675 which im pretty happy with. Looking forward to getting them into this project! Thanks again for all your input. Will post up more pics on my project page.

Oh yea kinda helps knowing what vehicle its for haha sorry about that. Its an 88 E30. Cheers =)

Hey guys, I'm in need of a little help. I'm looking for some good adjustable suspension that is height adjustable as well as dampness. If anyone has a set for sale I would really like to have a look and even if you can let me know what you think is worth getting and what's good but also for a reasonable price. Not looking at spending a fortune on them either. Just something that would be trustworthy. Thanks heaps!! Jamie

Hey, if your still after this part or any others give Fabian at coobes johnston a call. He's been awesome with parts on my project and has most of them at good prices. (07)8468888 Jamie

Congrats ... you get that "engine swap first start" feeling ha when that engine first started up i think i felt a touch from heaven it was amazing to hear it going after a year and a bit of hard work. Definitely made the whole conversion worth doing

So finally here's a video of the machine going! Worth watching Enjoy

yea i found my exhaust manifold was hitting on the small cross bar on the mounting arm so we just took it off. and also it is very close if not touching the steering column so it will be modified but apparently Luke knows how that works. And not sure of the ratio sorry. will find that out soon Thanks
