Million dollar 1913 Peerless roadster blows up on dyno

[pbr87]

Oh. Well, I'm sorry then. I didn't know you had actually sat in one before. I mean I own one and transport things big and small in it, so I clearly have no room to speak to teh E30 MasToR. Just my opinion though, the E30 sedan has a spacious rear seat that doesn't compromise trunk space. I would honestly say that it rivals that of an E34. Do you know what an E34 is? Have you sat in one?



Do yourself a favor, go out and buy the car before you critique it.

Thanks for your apology. I'm guessing you didn't know that I've driven a 4dr E30 5spd. Oh, I've also drivena 2dr E30. I like the 2dr better And the back seat of an E30 sedan does not rival an E34 or even an E28. And I will buy an E30 when I find one I like for sale (one of the reasons I joined this site).....but not an E30 sedan. Also, I'm pretty sure I can criticize a car after driving it. I don't need to own one to make judgements.

Damn I drive a 4 door eta :(

I know, me too. :(

Lets see this 4 door race car of yours. I'm very interested. Post up some factory team e30's as well. I've only seen coupes. Someone should have told BMW that the winning-est touring car of all time would have been better if it was a 4 door.

That was cute. I don't recall saying I had a race car though. I do recall saying that I have heard from many sources (a BMW and ASE Master Tech who has been in the business for nearly twenty years and who currently owns a race shop in NC being one of them) remark about the E30 sedan chassis being significantly stronger than the E30 coupe chassis. That I do, most certainly, recall saying.

Functionality? The back seat of a 4-dr e30 is a joke. I know because I've sat in one.

Do yourself a favor and go fill out one of these, it'll make you feel better

yea, id agree, on that about the z32, on my 300zx it took me 3 hours to change the d@mn spark plugs cause you have to take it apart :(

[pbr87]

Only jap car I'd buy from the 90s would be an FD.

Then add an LS6.

FDs are nice. and an FD + LS6 = AWESOMESAUCE

[pbr87]

And a Z32? Jesus christ himself couldn't have designed a shittier car. Ever look at the engine bay on one of them?! Japan is embarrassed to have produced such a vehicle.

que?

[z31maniac]

If you buy another, I sincerely reccomend upgrading to a Z32 TT. Some of the ones with high miles are getting fairly inexpensive these days (I picked mine up for $5800). Even a Virgin Z32 TT with low miles is still less than $25k.

What the hell happened in this thread?

The Peerless owner should blame the craptastic DynoJet. What a piece of shit. We've had vehicles as low as 1.5 wheel HP produce a fine looking graph out of our Dyno Dynamics. 50 HP shouldn't have been any problem.

Oh, and BTW, 4 door E30 > 2 door (non M car). End of discussion.

^^My crappy 4 door....god it sucks so bad because it has back doors!!

All the money for a shitty nissan that can barely get out of it's own way.

GDIAF and EAD.

Unfortunately, it was sold when I was still in college as I had toasted another clutch and the syncros in the tranny were going.

It was an '88 with a ridiculous amount of work done to it. Custom built ram-air box using a turbo scoop, bigger 240 throttle body, full exhaust, Eibach's and Koni's, ST sways etc etc etc.........the camber gain in the back sucks a dick and they were heavy.

I may buy another eventually though, and swap in an S14 or Z32 rear subframe.

man you guys argue like brother n sister, ur both idiots, e30 4drs are sedans, and e30 2drs are coupes, a peerless blew up, a few of our r3v members are douches, ive owned a 300zx, it wasnt a ricer and im not a douche, but this thread is in deep need of a ban, and you guys need to take it to the track!!

a 2- or 4-door automobile seating four or more persons and usually having a permanent top
