Been looking for a cool, lightweight RWD 70/80's coupe (Datsun 610, 240Z, TA22/RA23 Celica, *A61 Supra, RX7, AE86, S12 Silvia etc)for a while now and happened to stumble across this E30 323i.
Was advertised for next to nothing, so I bargained it down to a steal.
Interior has ben stripped out for a track car, however, the previous owner couldn't get it running and decided to move it on. Fuel is getting to the rail, however, the injectors don't want to pulse.
The fuel pump was replaced, and L Jet ECU have been swapped to no avail. Any clues on what it may be? I was thinking of replacing the injectors but thought it's pretty unlikely all 6 would die at once.
Only have basic plans for it.
First up is get it running smoothly, service the entire engine and rebuild if necessary.
Second is to put the dash and heater-a/c unit all back together, then to find some decent period correct Recaro's.
Third is going over the chassis, looking for any fucked bushes,balljoints, CV's, Giubo, centre bearing, pads, rotors, master cylinder/reservoir etc, then a nice upgrade to the suspension. As I want to use it on back roads, hills and as my daily driver, I don't want to go too stiff. H&R Race and KYB Camaro shocks in the rear, KYB AGX or similar in the front. Sway bars and strut braces if I deem necessary.
Lastly, as it's of least importance is to make it look tough/thug/gang affiliated/dopesauceOMGWTFBBQ.
Some period correct mesh wheels would be good, around 15x8. A friend also has put aside a complete BBS bodykit, the one without the fender flares that I may possibly be able to pry from his hands. If I can't, an Alpina front spoiler would be the business.
After the previous owner started stripping it down.
Should be able to get a bit of time over the weekend to attempt a diagnosis and hopefully get the girl running and take some better pictures.
Sorry for the premature build thread, half posting in the hope that someone is familiar with my injection problem and knows the quick solution.
