I don't really want to trade sorry Brian , the only reason im selling is because i honestly have too much sitting around and it's gotten over my head with the workload . Not that there is very much to do to purple , i just need to simplify things a little . If you look in the 4 door section on this site in members rides i just put up a quick list of some of the stuff the car has , id put it here but cbf on my phone . Basically it's a strong 250rwk ish setup

haha nope I like it way to much, after much swapping after getting rid of the sileighty i finally found another car i really like. so its not going anywere till it gets a defect then ill grow some and take it to the track & try to drift :)

little update on it, I had another crack at sanding my cam covers & almost have a mirror finishnow

removed the valley cover & made a bracket for the ignitor

made a cai & pod enclosure

31 is alive!

Just as well i didn't send the gf off to uni in it tho, i left the afm unplugged and took me a while to figure it out

anyone got a 33 clutch fan that they want to get rid of? i wanna piss this thermo fan off (will swap if you want, has temp controller and relays and stuff but i think the temp controller is dead)

picked up my lexan screens today, arrived along with Burgz's kit.

got it home, have drilled the passenger side screen and fitted the OEM stops, mount studs & roller. great to work with.

rear screen weighs about 4460g

sides screens weigh about 2150g

and rear qtr screens 730 g

OEM side screen weighs about 4700, so less than half the weight. fitment is spot on.

also bought another pair of wheels the same as what i have on the car, but same size and offset as rear.

changed G/box fluid from penrite sin to smurfs blood, leightweight shockproof, instantly silkier.

so ticked a few little things of the todo list. desperate to finish it but the boat ate a big chunk of my funds this month, dammit! not too much further away.

got another tire for the 31, watanabe's are back on all round and looks a lot less bogan now (had stockers on the rear)

also found out that they are deffinately welded together :( but still 3 peice

this puts getting the fronts made into rears on the back burner which is sad

    • 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 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
