wierd... will update soon...

When you had the barrel out, there should have been a small latch on the right side (stick your finger in the hole and feel around) flick it up (from memory) and it should unlatch. My parts car had no barrel and this is how I opened it.

A daihatsu that I have to pay $15 a day for. They basically said to me that I could get a wheel alignment and Insurance would pay (last crash) then I get a bill for $160 6 months later. I have tried to rebut it but they dont want to know. So Ive told myself never to go back there.

HAHAHAHAHAHA no. I was impressed with their work but to say the least im not happy with that place. At all.

Yea its a real f**kin wake up call eh, im more superstitious than any when driving as im all to familiar with it (unfortunatly) If I hadn't had the experiance with crashes the car and possibly Me / Taniel would have be goners to.

Roll cage is definatly coming soon.

Haha yea fair enough, I have other witnesses to. I can now add it to my list of hitting/being hit by police officers, car salesmen and letterboxes.

[luckytobealive] Driving to the video store last night, Bus goes straight through a stop sign in front of me. Im so lucky I just did a brake upgrade or I think me and the mrs would have been in hospital right now. Damage isn't to bad, Lucky I had my eye on the road... Will upload some pics tonight. Informed the cops, Bus driver is being summons for careless driving, failing to stop and wreckless endangerment. I just about shat my pants... Its f**kING scary having what at the time seems like a big white wall of steel right infront of you at 50KM. [/luckytobealive] Edit: Mayor of Papakura witnessed the whole thing.

^^^^ Haha 1st two movies rule. Pinky's record shop, and YOU GOT KNOCKED THE f**k OUT!!!

Yea a few tyre kickers though, people wanting swaps etc. Basically I dont think im going to get what I want for it, so kepping it is obviously the best option.

Must be time to visit the confessions box then eh Lying is a SIN!!

Ollie, I have a small case diff at home with those bits of it (I'll check tonight) Diff is 4:10 ratio, you can have the whole thing for $50

It sure does!!! And it is a very tempramental personality at that!!

Hey PBOY, I have no idea of your name sorry, but damn that looks like a tidy Airbox, did you fabricate it yourself? Cheers Chris

You are right there Josh, the thought of having any shape or form of Japanese engine in my E30 makes me cringe. Basically the motor is really strong (Good for 500-600hp) im going to be running less than the reccomended boost which in turn should give it a slighlty longer life and reliability. As far as turbo hardware goes (BOV, Wastegates etc) what would be the go brands? Im thinking TIAL etc. What are you using? Also im leaning towards external wastegate plumbed back into the system. Would this be benificial for boost threshold? I dont have an air con radiator so there is no worries about room for an intercooler. + when you said I may need to shave some off the tunnel, would it still be needed if running the Getrag 260? If i remeber correctly when Gary did his conversion it went straight in. Correct me if im wrong please Josh.

Funny you should post that graham, I was watching that movie the other night, its on sky this month

haha true story.

Jesus there are hundreds of movies with E30's!!!!

^^ What Ollie said, Spelling and Grammar are two very useful things and will get you a long way on this forum. Welcome. Cheers Chris Edit: Got the pics from Chosen Few Website for you also.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...amp;ed=true#qna Updated auction, last chance to buy this. If it doesn't sell its getting the M50 Turbo Treatment

Cool, I know of a 260 sitting in a car in a paddock, might have to go rip it out, its only going to cost me $200 and the labour of getting it out. Will get a partial rebuild, synchros etc.

No, I wanted the black ones to go with the whole 'blacked out' look I was going for but he didnt have any in stock when i got mine, Said they stopped manufacturing them, which puissed me off cos' two weeks later he listed black ones.. Gutted.

TBH it wouldn't really be worth it. Unless you are buying all the parts new for reliability. I actually swapped all my windows/sunroof over to manual because I got sick of the electrical hassles they were causing. Although it can be done, using second hand parts and DIY it would probably be done for under $200.

This is why I have basically decided to do it. I have realised I am not going to be able to sell the car for what I want so I may as well get the thing going like crazy and keep it forever. Spoke to the guy with the engine last night, its completely plumbed for a turbo (Oil/water feed lines etc) Its a fully crazy M50. The car will be coming off the road around November. Cant wait. Also, Josh are you using Getrag 260? Will one of these be able to handle 400+HP?
