Hey all,
My names Nick. I live in Sydney Australia. I literally bought my very own E30 yesterday and am now a proud owner! I've just come from owning a late model Subaru, it's so different, but I love the E30. I was told to get onto these forums from a bloke on the Suby forums I hang around.. he said you were all a bunch of yanks, so what ever hahahaha.
Anyway here are the details and pictures.. sorry for shit quality, haven't taking it out for a proper photoshoot yet and just relying on the carsales advertisement pictures on the net too.
I know it's a replica, I know it's got an M badge.. I know it's missing an eyebrow.. I know the interior is pretty far out but I this is how I bought it and I've got plans.
So, as far as I gathered from the last owner.. it's got a 325 top end.. and 323 bottom end? So it's kind a mix between the 2.5 and 2.3L?
It's only got 140,000km on it.. you yanks do the maths into miles.
I've got a few questions though.
1. That little computer up the top.. the "coolant" light is on.. What's that mean? I need to change coolant? Or it's getting hot?
2. Car makes all sorts of rough funny noises.. like things are rubbing, I guess it's hard to explain but maybe its just the age.
3. Central locking. It doesn't work. I can't lock the driver side door when the car door is open.. the pin won't go down. So I need to go around to the passenger side, and lock everything from the inside.. What's the go?
4. 1st crunches. It's hard to get into. Any ideas?
5. Noticed an oil leak. Looks like one of the breathers. Any ideas?
6. "INSPECTION" light is on. How do I reset it to turn off?
7. L/100km guage just goes nuts when I drive and doesn't drop below the max. Common problem?
8. The bucket seats are way too low, suggestions? Just get stock seats?
9. Suggestions for a sound system? There are only two 5" speakers on the parcel shelf that's it..
Thanks guys,
Nick.
