    i thought only the 540 and m5 and the like used the large case,praps it is medium and you have the small?

    Yeah that's what I thought as well but have being looking at picture's of bmw diff's on the diff PDF that's stickyed in this section and it's the one I've got looks idetical to a large case. It has a finned back cover on it...........

    Just picked up that e28 528i LSD that I found on trademe. He advertised it as meadium case 3,07. But after closer inspection it looks like a large case 210 diff. Can I still swap this into my e30?. The e30 was a 320i so I think my diff is a little one. Not sure as was dark when I got back so will have a look tommorow.

    Thanks

    NAh I'm running my original e30 gearbox. I've read on other forums that this ratio is good for my swap. The diff I've got is a 3.64 so I wouldn't have thought thered be that much of a change

    Hahaha -_- Tin Arsed Luck it is!!! So you guys rekon I should put the centre from this e28 Lsd into my e30 320i factory diff or just change the flange's and back cover and put the whole thing in?

    Just bought myself a e28 Lsd. I read that you can swap the back cover and output flange's with my e30 diff's one's and it bolt's straight in. meduim case s,3,07VO79 Should go well with the new found power of my 2.5 m50

    In race cars it depends on driving style [or rules] ,I remember in the early 90's when Lotus F1 were using open diffs ,they also had traction control and very stiff front roll couple [monoshock front with zero body roll] the theory is to design traction into the package [not use a diff to recover lost traction]

    Now, I'm a V8 driver so I love the 'kidney punch' off the corners when the car hooks up so I cannot promote using a locked rear-end enough [as long as the suspension package is compatible] remember If your car is going to understeer,a locked rear makes it worse [dial the car's suspension in first]

    On the street? If you paid approx $1000 for a slipper that would be cheap compared to the mods required to make your suspension more compatible [remembera street car is an 'All Rounder']Who wants to change the diff everytime you need a WOF?

    attached is a pic of my old vintage racer "the Mistress"[sitting in my driveway]

    Wholey sh*t that's a tough vette.

    Yeah I agree with you kerrynzl your a very knowledgable person you make some very good points. I'm gonna do what andrew said. "look into some Lsd options"

    Do not weld it up if its for a street car unless your a muppet. Am im suspecting it is for a street car as it dosnt sound like you are the kind of person to have a race car. :blink:

    Haha :D what do you have to sound like to own a race car????

    I've got a 96 wrx for my rally car in which I lead my local club in the point's table avgas forge's 18psi.

    The E30 is deffinatly my favorite car and yes it is my dailydriver but since putting this m50 in it's just become a one wheel wonder. I used to have a RB30 turbo VL commodore which I welded the diff up on. As you said harsh on componant's but componant's can be replaced. Driiven correctly way more fun than a open Diff.

    What's everyone's thoughts..... Street Car or Race Car I rekon two wheels is better than one :ph34r:

    Yeah I agree with you guys

    I only paid $50 bucks for it so I thought I'd give it a shot.

    I'm going to buy another ecu and install it in that and see what happens. This guy I bought it off rekon's he's had good result's from his installation into his e36 but obviously I have not seen this with my bare eye's hence my suspision.

    Yeah there's no way I would have chucked it in without some research

    Got it from a guy off tradme. He bought it for is e36 but his motor was vanos and this chip is for non vano's apprently. So he bought another one and sold this to me. He's given me instructions on how to solder it into the ecu but other than that no other information.

    Where did you buy it from?

    I had the windscreen on my BMW replaced by Smith and Smith a few months ago, anyway it is now leaking through the seal and has soaked everything in my glovebox. I took it back into Smith and Smith Petone, and was served by a blunt, bordering on rude woman who told me it could not be fixed till next Thursday (when I am conveniently going to be under general anaesthetic!) The Smith and Smith TV advertising campaign shows an old man having his windscreen fixed by a Smith and Smith mobile van many years after it is fixed, free of charge, and straight away. I am happy to take my car into a depot to have it fixed, but over a week seems like a long wait, and still water seeps in, making my car damp, and risking rust.

    I plan to complain to their head office, and insist that the problem is immediately fixed. But what are my rights if the car gets rust or other damage from having water stuck behind the seal?

    Mate I used to work for novas windscreens.

    You are right and they should fit you in as your "job" has not technically being finished. If we ever had a leak come back we would stop what we were doing and fix somthing that we obviously didn't fix properly the first time. Know what I mean?

    Problem with smith and smith is that they do so many screen's a day the guys are usually under pressure and rushing what they are doing and not making sure that they are doing it right the first time.

    So yeah my advice. Complain about the bitch that served you and demand that it be done straight away. Also smith and smith are responsible for anydamage caused by their f**kup. ie, rust, water damaged carpet etc.
