Nice one mate! Good to see another e30 in QLD in good hands.

So decided today to remove the angle eyes the previous owner installed - they were poorly wired and would stop working with any moisture around.

In the process I decided to remove the Xeonons they also installed for the same reasons - poorly installed and also didn't want to get pulled up as they are illegal here to be fitted aftermarket.

Think I'll just buy this set and fork out the $$ on shipping. Seems to have everything and will help with the wiring.

Making the most of the holidays - I cleaned both front wheel arches in preparation to apply some protectant and make sure no water gets in while driving in the rain.



Few types around but looking at this atm http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...ecommendations

Thanks mate, I had a look awhile back and couldn't see any brand on them but will have another look.

And that would be great if you had that part free, are you based in Aus?

I'm looking to take apart my clock when I get it to paint the needles and match my cluster, how easy is this? Is it just clips holding it together.

It's pretty straight forward, most tedious part was taking the dash apart to reach it.

The clock had a couple of screws and clips, once those are off it comes apart in layers. What colour are you matching to your cluster?

Welcome! I love those wheels. What are they called, do you know?
Ive got a spare throttle cable, it has a couple of little frayed spots but i cold get that piece and mail you, if you cannot find one.

Had a closer look at the wheels and no branding on them. They are 17 running 235/40 all round. The front does appear to rub slightly on full lock which is annoying. They are new tyres though so will look at different combos to fix that once they wear down a bit

Mate, good to see a clean Aussie e30! It's coming along nicely!

Beautiful dog too.

How awesome is it to work on your e30 with a friend working on his side by side?

Red needles

That's one tidy looking E30!.....how did you find one without a dash that looks like the Grand Canyon?!! I have never seen one that's not cracked to pieces in Australia!

Great to have someone to lend a hand and share parts. Not to mention saving a bit of cash on shipping!

Thanks mate. Previous owner had it redone by a guy in Brisbane.
