  1. Mate i had the exact same problem, started on sat night and fixed it today. all i had to do was take the air idle valve out and clean it (with brake cleaner, carb cleaner etc) and also the throttle body, pretty much the whole air intake system just got a good clean. put it back togeather and after maybe 10 mins of running it was back to normal. easy thing to try even if it doesnt work for you, worked for me and its free. so glad i didnt have to replace anything haha :lollies:


  2. Loaded it up ready to go to Hamilton on Friday. It is sitting loooow. And pretty fricken crowded, even though I dropped plenty off my list when I realised it wasn't gonna fit.

    I took mine to powercruise last year, managed to fit 4 people, a HUGE tent, and all the gear we needed to survive the weekend, plus my sub box ( 2x12" subs)

    These things have such handy boots :lol:

    was sitting very low though haha


  3. Ahh yeah, those were a mint deal. I was just waiting for my paycheck to pay for them when you snapped them up! Even had transport to Auckland sorted hah.

    Interested to see what the look like on an e30.

    Haha sorry about that... :ph34r: ... was such a good deal i couldn't resist, was exactly what id been looking for and was getting my diff from there at the same time so was convenient.

    Heres the pics... not the best as i was in a rush to get to course, but they do the job..

    Planning on lowering the front more, flaring the guards a bit, just do what i have to to make it fit.

    Just not sure how to lower it ( Eg. new springs? compressing current springs? adjustables?... not sure)


  4. I did the same thing a few months back.

    diff did the exact same thing, so i just replaced it, only cost $100 for the diff itself and did the work myself, not too hard to do.

    hope it was at least a good skid... mine wasnt <_<

    good luck bro

    EDIT* my axles didnt pop out though (not that i know of anyway), diff was just making horrible noises and the whole car clunked when going round corers, the teeth on some of the gears in the diff were just gone


  5. Bump for this

    Also have an e30 tow bar that will be available for sale if buyer hasn't made contact within the week. I need it gone so will be $1 reserve if no interest here. Pm if you want it. Pick up only although may be able to get it delivered to Auckland by the one and only

    how much for the tow bar? been needing one of those for a while now just havnt got around to it


  6. Dunno about expertise, more like trial and error.

    Welcome Sam, I'm from Tawa, just sing out if you need a hand with anything, saw your car out driving the other day.

    Also have some blue leather recaro seats front and rear with matching door cards too if your interested, cheap cheap ha. Not in mint condition though, can do for closer to a third of what the trademe dude wants.

    Sweet cheers mate will do. and any chance of a picture of the seats? email them to samcinnz@hotmail.com if thats algud. thanks


  7. Yup, but you know there will be one next time I'm back. I'll make sure of it (again lol).

    Welcome to the forum btw, I'm from Porirua too haha, and gonna be back there in a few months. Plenty of local expertise around there if you ever need a hand. (Brams, flake, me etc :D)

    Cheers. Haha awesome :) glad i joined up, i wasn't sure how many people from welly would be here, but guess i came to the right place :D


  8. Cheers, yeah i think your right about the bumper, never really thought about it but ill have a look.

    Got tons of plans for it, but being a student with a part time job makes it a tad hard haha.

    For the moment just want new seats and an alarm.

    Eventually want new rims, lower at the front, put a kit on it, tail lights, get something a bit more powerful than the standard motor, the list goes on.

    But for now the seats will do haha :)
