E30 Zone

hey man hows things. did you finally get sorted???? with what you were looking for? is that place in monaghan any good? bit pricey for a half day isnt it??

Has anyone tried the BMW stripes on the rocker cover or anything except black. My mate just done the rocker cover and inlet manifold black. Id love to see it done in the BMW M stripes!

Anyone try this??

Just an idea, not a boy-racing meet, just genuine bmw enthusiasts!

Just throwing the idea out there to see if we'd have worthwhile interest and numbers!

Do BMW not run their own peformance driving days as do AUDI and Porsche??? A mate of mine got a full day in silverstone with AUDI for 300 quid all in

id like to learn how to handle the car overall, especially in wet conditions givin its a RWD

Looking to go to a performance driving school ideally in Ireland but will go to the uk. Would really love to know how to handle an e30.
Any suggestions?
any idea of the costs involved?
What did they teach you?

All help much appreciated!

Thanks

Yeh and lovin it!! wouldnt drive anythin else! although lads i duno about the newer bmw's..... i think from the E36 they launched it at people with less money, they got cheaper,,,,, makes you wonder about the car parts! I duno how do people feel on this? Im not talking about all bmw's but newer ones...

Done and dusted!!!!

Thanks Brian, worked fine using your light bulb idea rather than the multimeter.

Works!!!

Thanks again Brian, royalratch and everyone else !!

yeh i asked a guy something from an old thread and was replying to it rather than my own one i set up, sorry didnt realise...opps almost did it again! ill go back to my own and use this for reference cheers royal!! sorry brian was just showin the picture to royalratch before you were about!!

excellent!!! legend brian!!

Somebody mention my name? Z is the top left socket on the accessories socket and is fed from fuse 28. . the top left wire on the left box? Where the grey wire is?? or the right box? (with the yellow orange wires) http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s186/E30_photos/power.jpg Ive marked in what they s...

Bump!! need help!! :mad: Red wire to the aerial comes from the top left pin of the accessories socket, next to the radio socket. The white wire from the aerial goes to the ISO connector. Brian, i looked at mine (picture 1), there are two seperate outlets if you like, those on the left, numbered 1-30...

right. well i tested the amp line coming out of the radio and the blue wire, (youll see it cut) and there was nothing. how did you know which one had 12 V dc? When using the multimeter (just to make sure im right here) i just put the red multimeter wire to the wire i want to get a reading from and j...

im still totally unclear! I know the motor works i tested it. 1) red goes to the red on the motor and also the accessories power supply above the glove compartment, TO WHERE I DO NOT KNOW, there is no Z slot, they are numbered 1-30, corresponding to fuses I assume, so i tested outlet 28 and there is...

ok, is the ISO connector the one on the stereo??? Do i have one of those? I honestly dont know even with the pictures above. Secondly where is the MAP SWIITCH on the ISO connector??? And thirdly when you say aerial power cable do you mean green or red????

thanks!!

The red wire should come from pin Z (top left) of the accessories socket, via fuse 28, and the white wire should normally go to the radio. There are 2 boxes in Picture 1, is it the one on the left? and the top left outlet??? are we sure on this? Now that its located does it look any different Brian...

Ok, Found the problem, the red and white power supply was cut up under the glove box, next question is Red goes into the power accessories outlet, but where? (See Picture1) White goes into the back of the car stereo, is is into the blue outlet you see pointed out by the screwdriver in picture 2?? PI...

Brian,

Worked a charm!!! previous muppet had that black connected into the side bracket, to be fair there was a screw in place originally for that,....... either way time to check the wiring now that the motor is 100%

Ok brian I appreciate that let me give that a whack!!

The black was connected to the chassis of the car so thats why i was guessing its earth. How will i test the antenna outside of the car??? IE what will act as a trigger? When I connected the red of antenna to positive of battery and the green of antenna to negative of battery all i got was a buzzing...

Can someone tell me if this is correct for testing the power antenna motor On the power antenna there are 3 leads, one red, one green and one black (ground) I have took the antenna out of the car and im trying to test it with a car battery, im connecting the battery (-) to the green lead, and the ba...

Yep brian, i kinda have an idea where the red is going but ive no clue where exactly the white will plug into. looking at past threads it says the ISO connector, is it fairly straight forward where the white connects in on the ISO connector??

Hey she passed the MOT !!!!

Ok, I just opened this up again. As im about to do the same thing tomorrow. I have a red cable and a white cable. I dont know where to feed to but i reckon from the description ill know where to find the red wire input into the accesories socket (behind the glove box roof????) But I DO NOT know wher...

ok im back on the case of this one. I dont think the problem is the aerial, I checked the power leads to the antenna in the rear, a red one and a white one. there is no power (DC) detected from these wires at the rear. At the moment i dont know where to trace these leads to, is there a relay in the ...

try to bump you back up on this

Is this what your on about Brian....ie just follow the wires back from the path of the sensors?

I had exactly the same problem. just had it repaired, the following was needed,

wish bones
anti-roll link arms
bushings
steering joint assay, the rubber cup may be worn down feeling a shimmy in the wheel

only way to tell is get underneath!

Hey!

well theres no light coming on, and i think theres no engine problems.....only thing is its drinking petrol which i was largely putting down to other things.

do you think this needs replaced?
Id say replacing that wire is a pain in the ass!!

cheers buddy!!! how much do boy racers pay for those things?? maybe ill get one to buy it for the price of the original, i hear adjustable ones are actually expensive!

will it cause any harm if i just leave it there?

Will it have any affect leaving it on?

Will it have any any removing it and replacing it?

Cheers monkey

Hey, Found one of the wires burnt and now corroded, duno what it does Picture 1 shows the wire damage, minimal Picture 2 shows the sensor it leads to (I dont know what this sensor is) Any cause for concern? The reason I ask is im trying to solve why the car is drinking so much fuel 21MPG and im work...

Hey, Bought this car from a boy-racer, he added non-original crap and i want rid of it, mainly cos its causing high fuel consumption, 21 MPG Heres the piece i found http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s186/E30_photos/DSCF0776.jpg It leads to the boy racer adjustable fuel pressure regulator so im curi...

Cheers Brian, That piece of boy-racer crap is about to meet its death, ill get rid of it anyways, i want originality. Brian, I have no clue of the "connector under the manifold" I dont know what it is you want me to check here is there any way you can take a picture of it on ur own car or from a web...

hey brian thanks for that. There are no flat spots, and no problem with acceleration. the only issue is fuel consumption is high. The temp gauge sat to just barely below 1/2 or mid-way where it always sits when even on long drives! Damn, what else could be causing the high fuel consump????? So far t...
