e34 touring

Recommended Posts

so I finally found a touring wanted to swap my old l200 for one ....really wanted an e30 or next best was a e34....so long story short couldn't swap my ute..someone bought it . I seen this e34 advertised and was happy to pay the money he wanted but someone got in first and started bidding on it.so I had to wait till the end and have a bid myself ......luck thing I did cos I got it for bugger all and hole heap cheaper then what I was origanl going to pay.

there is 1 thing that strange and that's that i have more room (driving position ) in the e30 than i do in this.

im 6.3 about 125kgs and its a wee bit cramped were as the e30 i have the seat 1 click away from all the way back.

electric seats dont go as low as manual seats

and there is more lean and lower down options with the sport seats than the std flat seats. also check the rails are clear of junk

good buy, the B20 engine goes straight in the bin and put a B25 in there, the B20 is wayy to underpowered for a car this size, i get about the same economy with my V12 swap as i did when it was a B20

push the back lever down to adjust the height (also makes it go backwards a bit)

andy are you running 17s on yours with coil overs?

I do like how low yours is but I think for ease and no cert I may just go lowered springs and maybe 18s

Yep sure am.

You are very welcome to take mine for a drive if you are in wellington. For the most part its like driving one at stock ride height, the spongy seats and long wheel base help with that. Just certain bumps you need to be careful of, try to avoid man hole covers etc. you get used to driving a lowered car pretty quickly.

Yes, use a complete engine. the B20 use different intake/afm etc.

best to just get a complete one from an E36, and then swap your E34 (B20) sump, oil pickup, dipstick and tube, and mounting arms onto it. then its all drop in from there, and should just plug it in and go, shouldn't be any special wiring etc. You will probably need to buy a new E34 B25 intake tube, thats probably the only thing

I was thinking about just lowering the springs and maybe 17s or 18s don't really want to go the full coil overs just something

cooler than how it is now... don't really need wild .....I have my e30 for that.

got some issues with the tail gate.

pretty much nothing works. cant open the rear window...and no rear wiper .

pulled the panel off and everything seem to be fine. checked with the multi meter and no power

so im thinking it must be the wiring loom.

anyone had the same problem?

think I might just check were it goes from the body to hatch.and hopfully just solder up some wires.
