Not 100% sure dude, came with the car. There doesnt look to be any modifications made to the head or the cam covers/centre garnish so i dare say its a straight swap.

I see, thanks!

Looks awesome!

You were at Mitcham Kebabs like 2 weeks ago yeah?

Luke, I worked for Mazda for 3 years, and thats the first car I've seen that looks good in that colour! Well done

thanks mate, i done my apprenticeship at penrith mazda.

saw the colour on cars every day and didnt stand out.

then one day, i was following an SP23 in this colour, and thought, thats the colour i want.

i needed to respray anyway, so it got done.

looks better with all the black accesories.

thanks everyone for the compliments....

makes all the effort worthwhile.

Haha!

I was the one who parked in front of you.

I'll have to remember to come say hi next time! Car looked nice from the brief time i saw it.

love the stance and the wheels!!!!

HOOOOT!

Hey mate is this your car? Or do you know who owns it? Looking to paint my car the same colour, would love to know the paint code.

Looks close enough to be Champion Blue: Paint Code - BT2

A known but also rare colour as it was specifically for the R33 GTR Le Mans Edition.

Also there is Calsonic Blue and Bayside Blue (R34 GTR) but are a shade darker.

Yeah I thought it might the 33GTR LM Blue but just wanted to make sure. I've been looking everywhere for the paint code for Calsonic Blue but can't find it. The LM Blue is still pretty awesome might just stick with that!

I think finding Calsonic Blue will be like trying to find Top Secret Gold...

As Top Secret Japan say there is no specific Paint Code as it is a mixture / blend of their own colour mixtures.

So what you could do is find a decent pic of Calsonic Blue and get the re-spray people to try and match it as close as possible.

Fujimi Models make a Calsonic R32 GTR model kit and the paint code for Fujimi say to use is H15:

Match that and you should be fine.

Or yes, like you said, stick to LM Blue :laugh:

    • 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.
