Hey guys i'll bring my line there tomorrow for the first time just to see what its capable of. My recipe for some embarassing times is: 18' rim with 265 tyres, super sore ass hard suspension and the stupid vvt that always drop power/boost at around 5000 rev. Anyway regardless of the crappy set up hope to see the regulars there for some tips and hopefully can break into the 13s. See yas

IF you see 2 red R31 SVD GTS skylines come say Hello I am only supporting my friend but we have identical cars except he has the 3l compared to my 2.5

out of us I currently am quicker with a 13.3 but he is only 2/10's behind with a 13.5 he also has about a extra 40 horses so that could change the standings tomorrow

Everyone thinking about going to WSID worried about the rain;

I'm in Blacktown (about 5-10 min from WSID) and it hasn't rained at all here so far today. It's a little overcast but not looking too threatening at this stage, I'll post up if I notice any rain...

As expected I couldnt get better than 14.7 coz too much wheel spin 1st gear :) shown by 60' 2.4 Still cant get over granny shifting . . . but I know there's room for some improvements with more practice hehe. Nice to meet up with Moana & DHC and others before the races. Some very nice results from everyone

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
