Hahaha Who said she was a blonde.

Hahaha my blonde mrs would f**kin pwn her.........

Funny sh*t though

do you have pics of your race spec clutch? how come you went for it?

I'm pulling my motor and trans again to do some thing's that I forgot to do the first time (newbie) I'll take some photo's of it and the flywheel and post them up monday. I got it cause i asked for a clutch that I can do heaps of reliable skid's with while still having a reasonably nice pedal feel... Auto clutch NZ were very good the guy's their were keen to help and had some experence with bmw m20 clutch's.

hey all,

im having truble finding some cheap rims for my e30, they all seem to b jap mags for frnt wheel drives and i cud get sum of these but i wud need spacers and im told you cannt get a warrant with these from a vtnz, does anyone know nething about this or cud sell my sum 17s that i wont need spacers for?

cheers guys

josh.

My wheels are a 52p offset and I run 10mm spacer's all round. I've just painted them all up so it looks tidy and I fly through warrent's at the vtnz. The old dude's in there are blind as it is

Im planning on changing the tranny fluid soon and was wondering what kind i should put in?

e36 320i 5 speed auto

cheers dudez

I use castrol VMX with a bit of moorey's additive... Doesn't get to thin when warm that way= smooth shifting

Hey everyone I'm halfway thru my Manual conversion on my E36,

I need to know either the dimensions [OD , ID & Width] or part-numbers on the side of the spigot bearing in the back of the crank of a M50 engine

If anyone can help with these it will save me a lot of skinned knuckles [& obscenities] as my motor is still on the engine stand

Thanks. . . . .Kerry

I bought Mine from bindon's up in whangarei. He had a book that had a listing of different bmw bearing's including m50 one's. Had them in stock. SKF brand. Didn't measure it and dont have a part number sorry but I'm sure if you went to any good automotive part or bearing shop they should have them $5 iclud Gst

Give this guy some credit, i don't see anyone else producing these for e30s to this quality and price in new zealand, before you start saying things about its wrong etc etc you should try and SHOW us your ideas and see if you can put a few together and then if they work better your point has been proved. Until then stop putting other peoples products down. at least he is putting in the effort to supply these.

Cheers

Chris

Exactly..........

Two day's left........

some of the later models have about a 20mm square panelthat comes out and a tow hook screws in.The tow hook in these cases has a possie in the toolkit

Is this the same for the E30???

Is it the little square in the bumper that you pull out??

, they quoted me $300 + gst for the labour then said he would call me back with a price on a clutch kit, apparently a good deal, half an hour later he calls me back with $475+gst for the clutch, due to the dualmass flywheel, so thats about 800 bucks all up,

f**k that's cheap man. Even if it's stock spec. I payed $855 for a "race spec" 2500lb press plate carbon kevlar double sprung clutch, Brand new machined lightweight single mass m20 flywheel, But I had to give them my orignal flywheel and clutch on an exchanged basis. And that price was pretty much cost from auto clutch NZ. Stock Bmw clutch's are expensive but they are very good quality.

I can see it now, Some drunken wanker runs himself over while parking his own car!

Lol my thought's exactly........ f**k I could see myself doing it after I'd turned the parking speed up cause I was impatient

Bump

its a 3.07 lsd from e24 or e23 735i or 635i i think , would also fit e28 m5 . but they ran a 3.7 or 3.9 or something .

no good for any other models

Hmmm

I'm no mechanic or bmw part's wrecker but I checked with all the model's I listed against RealOEM's listing of which car's had the large diff. I looked at picture of the rear axle drive for all of these car's and it looked exactly the same. Except in the case where 2.8's and 2.5's ran a medium diff. But I was told that you could use a swap a large diff in to a subframe that had a medium diff. But like I said I'm no expert.

That wheel in the picture looks to be good ol 5 x 120 stud pattern. Planning on doing a five stud conversion before you buy the wheel's..?

Large 210 Case Limited Slip diff

s,3,07VO79 on tag

This diff will work with.......

All E23 745i & E32 750i

735i 745i

730i 740i

728i etc 735i

730i etc

All E28 M5 & E34 M5 3.8

m535i M5 3.6

533i 540i

528i 535i

525i 530i

525i

As far as I know Bmw changed to a different style diff housing from 1994 and up e34's and I think this may fit e24 6 serie's also.

Diff is in excellent working condition and would be excellent for Targa or Race car.

I bought this for a project but have since decided to sell it.

it's not good enough, auckland roads are f**ked and are damaging our cars rendering them more dangerous and even costing lives!

all i can say is f**kING USELESS c**ts!

f**k yeah!!!! The road's just seem to get worse and worse the further you come north... I'm not tryin to hint anything but I think the standard in roading engineer's and worker's have to be seriously looked at.

USELESS c**ts!!!

Yeah bro

I'm pretty sure South African BMW owner's have these for redlight situation's

Mate you've got right's....

This happened to a friend of mine not long ago up north.

He contacted his issurance company and they pursued the contractor's that were responsible for that bit of the road. After a bit of f**king around between the council and the contractor's he got compensation for the damage.

We pay thousand's of dollar's a year in taxes and the goverment and council's can't even build good quality flat road's let alone maintain them. :banghead:

Pic for will

I'd flag it, unless you plan on having to handle 1000nm any time soon.

You need to cut the brace out of the boot floor that the stock diff hangs off, cut the rear mount off the diff, make new bolt-on style side mounts for the diff and off the chassis.

Then I don't think you can use the 188 small dia flanges in the 210 so you'll need new axles etc... (unless you find a Mcoupe backend as the inner CV will match).

Then you stuck with shitty ratio's from the luxo-barges.

My $0.02

Mate Thanks very much..... Your wisdom and knowledge is most usefull. Well look's like I'll be selling it and waiting for a e30 one to pop up can't really be f**ked going to all that hassle for a road car. God damit I want to do proper skid's!!!!!

Bring it up to Tyrepower Whangarei and they'lll do it for $40. They have bmw experience as well.

They'll do a good job

grant...

pics and vid!

I 2nd that.

Easy way to tell.

The 210 will have 8 bolts for the side bearing seals (6 for the 188 & 4 for the 168) and the oil drain is on the left (not the back like a 188).

The E28 535i came with a 210 and 188, bolt bolt into the E30 subframe, the E30 however needs some mods to fit & mount 210.

Sweet dude you know your sh*t...

Had a look and the diff has 8 bolt's so it is a Large case. sh*t.... So what were these mods you were talking about so I can mount it in my e30 or should I flag it and sell it and keep looking for a e30 Lsd?

Thanks in advance

That's so badass!!!!

What about the 1960's F1 car. Haha Saftey was obviously 3rd to speed and power

I dig it -

318 for the win

haha you would dig it......

If you put a diff out of another model (ie e28) and it is a medium case you will have to change the sideshaft flanges and the rear casing to fit the E30. That one you bought should be medium case..

Will

Sweet yeah climbed underneath today and had a look, it is a medium case. Good news...
