E30 diesel

[Rav335uk]

Did you get the sides on today?

[jasso]

No, but got the Central locking working

[Rav335uk]

What was it then?

[jasso]

Opened the relay/Ecu flooded it with electrical contact cleaner and scrubbed it with a brush let the cleaner evaporate and bingo it works

[jasso]

The guy who painted the car was ment to re mop the whole car but but was being a w#%€{$ so decided to bite the bullet and 3m fast cut the whole car then auto glym super resined it then finished with auto glym HD wax

[jasso]

Looks really good
Where's the vids of it running/driving?

What colour are the wheels and what size tyres? Still need to fit mine

I haven't made no videos yet, the wheels are in powdercoat chrome with 205/45/16 on the rear and 195/45/16 up front but to be honest will replace the fronts with 205/45/16

Great build mate, im currently doing the same thing with a E30 cab and an LCI 535D lump, engine is in but havent tackled wiring just yet, would you mind passing your ECU/Wiring guys details over at all?

Thanks in advance

Gary

[jasso]

I have sent him a message will let you know what he says, what box you using? Plus the 184bhp that I have with a remap is a animal so what the 535d would be like?

[g57yle]

Thanks, I'm using a 6 speed out of a 330d but have an automatic if needed. I can imagine. All that torque in a light body!

[robbo86]

Love it. Wanted to do a conversion like this back when I joined the zone. Glad more people attempting it. I'll have to be in contact if I ever got it done.

[jasso]

Spoke to him said you already been in contact said he looking into it, how did you get on with the sump? M50 sump with a operation ? Have you got the 2 big connectors on the ecu?

[g57yle]

I bought a sump from an early 730d (Germany only) cost an arm and a leg!
Then modified the oil pickup. You can't use an early m57 pump as the holes to the block are different as well.

[jasso]

Yea I had that sump priced up but looked at some live pics and didn't look like it would allow the engine to sit low enough, take it your using a lsd but what ratio?

[g57yle]

The engine sits just fine. Still have the std 3.64lsd at the moment. Once it's all running I'll start messing around with other different and ratios...

[MoE30SA]

Awesome awesome build very well done.

[jasso]

The car was in a filthy state and my mate who is starting detailing offered to do the e30 at a steal of a price

Have you installed a secondary bulb in your indicators or wired them up to stay on constantly?

I'm wanting to do this but unsure how, Ideally I want to just have one bulb and have it wired to be on constantly then flash when using indicators

[Rav335uk]

You can buy those "American" look indicators from Ebay

I have a brand new set available somewhere if interested.
