E30 Zone

Thanks yea I was looking at them on ebay yesterday but wasn't quite sure what I needed.

Thank you anyway for the link to the wiki

Afternoon all,

Just wondering what I actually need of the Corsa C steering knuckle to get it to fit the e30.

Also what is the easiest way of getting it out of the corsa as it looks to be well hidden?

also will this work with a purple tag e46 rack?

Thanks

Anyone?

morning all, I have 2 main issues with my car at the moment. 1 being a fair amount of what looks like bluish smoke coming out of the oil filler cap. Now I know this normally means crank case pressure is to high however I however oil breather is pretty much a new genuine part Oil is Castrol 5w-30 I b...

Brilliant thank you and yes I found a 1.9 z3 in the scrap yard the other day so I have the short shifter from that paid £12 for it so I'm chuffed.

Anyone?

Also is there anything anyone would recommend changing on the gear box while its out?

I have looked at doing the rear seal and all the bushings etc on the gear linkages anything else?

Thanks

Can't find a Sachs kit anywhere are the luk ones any good?

Thanks guys it was an auto before hand and I'm fitting the ZF manual box so need to get a spigot bearing will call the dealer later on today.

Sorry to keep asking but does anyone know about the gear linkages? Thanks

Oh brilliant thanks it's good to hear that. So what gear linkages did you use for the zf box? Also I didn't get a clutch fork with the gear box. Sorry to keep asking silly questions but from what I've heard I need to put a spigot or pilot bearing in which I was lead to believe is not the same thing ...

Morning all, Hope someone can point me in the right direction I have the ZF box from an e36 to fit the m52b28 and I was wondering if the m20b20 flywheel (lightened) would go in with m20b20 starter and a Sachs clutch for the m20b25? Next question is gear linkages from what I've heard the 320i e30 one...

Not personally dealt with them however I have head good reviews about them. Other then that im not much help.

That would be brilliant if you could find it I just wanted to make sure all the c101 wires were connected up to make sure all the warning lights work in the e30 I'll have a look into what can be cut out to make things neater the 328i has a lot of optional extras on it which is probably why it's more...

I have to say that's a beauty looking forward to see how this goes.

?????

i had this with my 530d wouldnt start when warm crank and cam sensors would be a good place to start. Sometimes the diagnostic readers dont pick them up on M57 and N57 engines which is a ball ache.

hope this is all sorted

ive cut the C101 off the engine loom and x20 of ecu side of the loom out of e36 to make a connector so i dont have to modify the e36 loom also if i need to do an engine swap in the future it will save me unpluging all the loom from engine side and re doing it all. Also mine a 1990 moddel without ABS...

Here the picture of left over wires

I'll upload a picture shortly of the spare wires I know 2 of them are for oil level sensor I think it's pin 4 and 10 just don't know what the rest are for

Thanks

Ok Thanks

Sweet! thank you which hose to i get rid of? or is not needed?

Thanks for the help its funny how silly things like this can throw you

Thanks sorry to keep asking questions do I need to delete one of the hoses or do I need to put the solenoid on the e30? Thanks

apologies thank you for both of your very unsarcastic comments, bulkhead it is from now on. Relatively new to this. Sorry where is the heater control solenoid what side of the "bulkhead" is it? However thank you was unsure which one went top or bottom.

Thanks

Evening have just finished the wiring connector as per the wiki for my 1990 m20b20 to 1996 m52b28 and I seem to have 8 loose wires on c101 connector and a s*** load on x20 is this normal and where can I find out what the loose wires on c101 connector do?

Thanks

Can i jack this thread and ask if this will be ok on a 1990? i know 87 was when they facelifted. Also on the E36 i have 2 connectors that look the same one is obviously the x20 (not sure which one at the moment) do you know what the other one would be for? Also where the ECU sits there is another bo...

Afternoon all,

slowley getting there with the M52 swap, just somthing that has thrown me slightly.

2 hoses going through fire wall for e30 to heater matrix and there seems to be 3 hoses in the e36 can someone please tell me if im being thick or how to get round this?

thanks

afternoon all,

going to look at a zf box tomorrow what should i look out for bearing in mind its out of the car already.

also anyone know what linkages i will need to get it to fit into my e30 with m52b28? will i need the e30 one or e36?

thanks

Ok will leave the rest of the loom in there and take out the x20 plug, however there is 2 next to the fuse box i believe one is ABS/ASC control and the other x20? Also i know about the EWS chip in the key as i have recently changed the buttons on E39 key the old rounded one and its rather strange as...

Thanks Maggspower Front end of e36 is off (agreed it looks and makes things easy) and all the front end loom is off MAF sensor etc all that left is fuel rail/intake manifold, exhaust manifold, fuel line and wiring loom and a few other bits ill have to have a look at. so i just need to cut out the EW...

Morning all, currently taking out M52B28 of an E36, i have the E36 as a breaker on ebay and i have someone who has asked for the steering colum. i know they have funny bolts in them however i need to transfer EWS over to E30 just needed to know what i need off it for the EWS system. the e36 is takin...

That's what I thought it was a bit steep I mean I was looking and happy to pay around £200 for one and yes I suppose you can have some fun with an open diff but I love the idea of having an LSD or Torsen diff.

oh well I guess I will keep looking for the one!!

thanks guys

Its going to be road use only i have a poser E30

the 3.07 has 45k on it do you recon its worth the money or not? its a lot of money and i cant seem to justify it at the moment. i would go for an open diff but i like a bit of rear end action every now and then.

Afternoon,

have been doing some hunting have been offered

3.07 Torsen diff for £350.00 plus vat

or

3.38 Torsen diff for £400.00 plus vat

both z3 diffs i believe.

question is would one of the be worth it?

I would start off getting your disks checked for warping most garages will be able to check for you.

Sorry would one of you be able to find a picture i have a good idea of what you mean just im paranoid about it as i dont want to end up starving the engine of oil. i take it i just need to cut the whole thing out along with the mounts for it? get the bottom of the sump as smooth and flat as possible...
