can you get a pic of the rear part of the engine bay like the back part of the rocker cover that is blocked by the crossover pipe

and also please check the colour of the plate on the air flow meter.. should be a bright pink colour.

this is a series II AFM... little things like this will identify this infamous 1.5 which is supposed to have a series II engine but series I everything else..

if its the wrong colour its a series I.

if its the right colour.. then its a possibility that it has been in a bad accident and the front end has been replaced... but as to why the interior is half half... cos its not a complete series I interior cos of the dash surround which is from a series II

i have seen heaps of 1995's with that steering wheel.. and no series II i have ever seen has had 1 airbag.

This car might even be a rebirth lol, check the Vin number and make sure everything checks out. Check the Build plate and make sure it is not engraved, if it is then its rebirthed. Judging from condition of the front of the car i would be even thiking that its a 1993.

Well you guys have all been a great help.. I will see what posts come up over the week between now and Friday when it gets a check done by Hyperdrive.

Looks like its a bits and pieces but Im not going to rule out buying it just yet, the vibration it has is a bit of a problem but if it costs under $500 to fix it then hey its worth the money.

Thanks guys, I kinda get the impression that its not a series II and is more like a 1.5

Well with any luck it will pass all its tests on friday and I will be at the next cruise so you can all have a look at it.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
