a locked diff is usually used to transfer equal power to each wheel. instead of a difference of power between both tyres which is what can sometimes happen, esspecially under heavy load.

i woulda been happy without it tho, but it comes with the car so i have no probs with that.

once i get the car ill put up some pics ya'll

should be middle of next week hopefully

depending on the paperwork.

im goin out next week and gettin a blitz air filter kit and an exhaust. i didnt get paid as much as i throught i would so the exhaust may be a lil while off yet which sux

but we'll see how i go i waitin on my tax check to come in before i buy the exhaust

anyway pics soon guys

hey all

here is a pic of my newie, picked it up 2day that is the sale pic, but i will take some once i give it a wash tomorrow and fix up all the wires i didnt hide tonight.

i am stoked

it was a bit scary when becuse it has a locked diff it wurrs in 3rd and 4th at low revs but i talked to a machanic and he says because its tryin to push both wheels, the gears are stugglin at lower revs. so that easyed my mind a bit. still gunna get it checked tho

anyway stock as a rock except for a stezza and pod atm, exhaust to come and then wheels probably

im not into uppin the boost or anything like that atm maybe a cooler later down the track but im sweet with my ride atm i love it

gets alot of attention tho good and bad

Nice pick up mate. Looks quite nice, from the looks of it ... a series 1 R34 98 model? stockie gtt wing looks pretty good too, wish mine had come with that instead of the altia/nismo one. The little dent will come out nicely in the hands of a panelbeater.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • 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.
