After two months of waiting I finally picked up my car from the cargo mob in Freo yesterday.

and all I can say is DAMN!, its in a shitload better condition than the photo's I saw of her in Japan and came with a few extra suprises in the boot also (spare set of adjustables, stocky's, airbox, dump pipe, clear indicators). damn damn damn happy :(:D:(

now onto Stage 1 :)

adam32: yeah 13th looks good at this point, ill ask some mates tonight and see if their interested.

boostzor: where do you check under the seat? although its a bit hard with the aftermarkets in there which jam up against the cage, its a prick sometimes just to adjust.

it set me back 17k + onroad, but its already gone 500$ over budget at the moment so itll most probably end up costing me 19k on the road.

skyzzer33, on the books im officially not employed.. i did that as I was at uni and didnt want to effect my austudy and so forth. the business isnt making any money anywho as we sell most of the stuff to mates, its just a good way to get cheap stuff :O

gradenko: stage 1 = new turbo and i/c :P

gotta read damn manual for the HKS EVC and get it going properly, its supposedly set at the same levels for high/low at the moment (0.76bar) but the warning alarm still goes off sometimes (0.9bar) and its too hard to look at the gauge when this is happening to see what its actually hitting. hehe

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
