simon actually posted that so cheers to him aye.

But the rb30 doesn't work on a s1 one of the holes doesn't line up I tried it on mine, ended up just putting a second hand one on, the only prob you'll have with the 2nd hand one is replacing the gasket but i'd say any mech would be able to make one up like they did on mine.

haha just spoke to simon before.. sneaky boy :blush:

well I will wait to hear from titan..... the mechanic was trying Trojan as well but I'll forget about that if I can get Titans.

The radiator is fixed but it needs the WP before putting it all back together, doesnt look like there'll be enough time to fix it today now anyway :D

thanks for the offer sfrizza :)

rossco the RB30 one has an extra fin that you can't do the bolt up on but the rest supposedly fits... well obviously did for you...

I've decided to get a genuine one from Nissan, can get it cheaper than the price Trojan gave, and i don't have to worry that it's not going to fit/work/break.

Good idea Shell, I did the same, I didn't like the idea of a bolt missing on my water pump and considering it's not a 1 hour job glad I did it with the right part. I did pay $199 from Nissan but that's not too bad for piece of mind.

Nissan Part No. is 21010-21U26 - for '93 R33 GTS25t

I have a pair of genuine cam shaft seals if any wants them, mine didn't need replacing.

Cheers

yeah a bit late Steveo :( haha it's ok, i kinda needed something local anyway..

Marty, yep I'm glad I got a new one in the end too, especially as it didnt cost too much (like you said $200 was the normal price, but I got it quite a bit cheaper). I also got a brand spanking new Gates timing belt put on too... while they were down there haha

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
